‘Anybody’ is the best fit here contextually as the given sentence is in interrogative form.

Hence option A is the correct answer.

 The phrasal verb ‘give up’ means ‘Surrender or Abandon (someone or something)’ which is most relevant according to the context of the sentence.

Hence option A is the correct answer.

Meaning of other phrasal verbs:

Give off: emit; to produce and send forth

Give of: devote oneself unselfishly to a task, especially to give time and energy

Give on: to make an attack

The sentence implies that the report does not have any information regarding the company’s profit.

‘About’ meaning ‘on the subject of; concerning’ is the apt fit for the blank.

Hence, option A is the correct answer.

The sentence implies that the method recommended by the teacher is very boring.

‘Suggested’ meaning ‘put forward for consideration’ is the apt fit for the blank.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.

The blank must be filled with ‘of’ as it can be used to show the relationship of light with the planets. ‘Of’ is used to indicate an association between two entities, typically one of belonging, in which the first is the head of the phrase and the second is something associated with it.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Let’s first learn the meaning of the words:

Forget= fail to remember.

Question= feel or express doubt about; raise objections to.

Fail= be unsuccessful in achieving one's goal.

Neglect= fail to care for properly.

• Hardships make us doubt our life choices.
  
  
• Thus, the only word that is suitable here is 'question'. 

Hence, option B is the correct answer.

The given sentence is an example of third conditional sentences. Third conditional sentences are used to explain that present circumstances would be different if something different had happened in the past.

When using the third conditional, we use the past perfect (i.e., had + past participle) in the if-clause. The modal auxiliary (would, could, should, etc.) + have + past participle in the main clause expresses the theoretical situation that could have happened.

Therefore, the blank must be filled in with option C i.e. had known.

“And” is used to connect words of the same part of speech, clauses, or sentences, that are to be taken jointly. Therefore a similar word is needed in the blank. Out of the given options only “smoother” goes with the “cash transaction”. Hence option B is correct.

The time period indicator “for” is the hint that Present perfect tense (has/have + V3) should come in the blank. Also, the subject of the clause is “they” so plural “have” is needed here with V3 “known”. Only A fulfills all the conditions. Hence option A is correct.

Let's understand the meaning of the words:

Sweetly: in a generally pleasing or endearing way.

Bitterly: in an angry, hurt, or resentful way.

Calmly: without agitation or strong emotion.

Gently: with a mild, kind, or tender manner.

Analizing the meaning of the words, only the word “bitterly” can be associated with the word “weeping”. Hence option B is correct.
