There are three common prepositions or conjunctions used with 'different': from, than, and to. 'Than' is used in comparisons as a conjunction (as in "she is younger than I am") and as a preposition ("he is taller than me"). 'From' is the correct answer as we need to use a preposition after 'different'.

He has killed his own father. He is in jail because of . . . . . .
(A) father’s death
(B) homicide
(C) suicide
(D) patricide
Solution:
Option A: father's death is not the right choice because it doesn't specifically describe the act of killing one's father. It merely refers to the outcome. Option B: homicide is a broader term for killing a person, but it doesn't specify that it was one's own father who was killed. Option C: suicide is the act of taking one's own life, which is the opposite of killing one's father. Option D: patricide is the correct answer. Patricide is the term used to describe the act of killing one's own father. It precisely fits the situation described in the question, making it the most appropriate choice. In summary, while all the options are related to death, only Option D: patricide accurately describes the act of killing one's own father, making it the correct choice in this context.

If she had worked hard, she . . . . . . in the election.
(A) will elect
(B) will be elected
(C) would have been elected
(D) would have elected
Solution:
The sentence is in the past perfect tense and follows a conditional structure. It indicates a hypothetical or unreal situation in the past. The correct structure for this kind of conditional statement is "if + past perfect, then the result in the past would have been." In this case, "she had worked hard" is the past perfect part, and the result in the past is "elected." So, the complete sentence is: "If she had worked hard, she would have been elected." Let's break down the options: Option A: will elect is incorrect because it does not maintain the past tense required for the hypothetical situation. Option B: will be elected is also incorrect as it uses future tense, which is not appropriate for a past hypothetical scenario. Option D: would have elected is incorrect because it doesn't use the correct structure for past hypothetical situations. So, the correct answer is Option C: would have been elected, which accurately reflects the past perfect conditional structure.
