Answer
(1)
- (a) Leave - this is correct
- (b) leaver - not a word
- (c) tell - not relevant
- (d) leaving - used with future tense
Since the sentence is in present tense , the first form of the verb ‘leave’ will be used.
So, the correct answer is “(a)-leave”
(2)
- (a) small - this is correct
- (b) smaller- second degree of comparison
- (c) smallest - third degree of comparison

Since the sentence is talking about the size of the room , first degree word will be used.
So, the correct answer is “(a)-small”.
(3)
- (a) on - this is correct
- (b) in - not the correct proposition
- (c) of - not relevant
- (d) off - not relevant
Since the sentence is talking about the location of the room, ‘on’ will be used.
So, the correct answer is “(a)-on”.
(4)
- (a) in - not relevant
- (b) of - this is correct
- (c) on - not relevant
- (d) off - not relevant
Since the sentence is talking about the banks which belong to the river Ganga, ‘of’ will be used.
