From the options given below, select the most appropriate answer to fill in the blank in thegiven sentence. I saw the man ________ from the first floor.
(A) To fall
(B) Fell
(C) Falling
(D) Fallen
Solution:
In the given sentence "I saw the man falling from the first floor," the most appropriate word to fill in the blank is "falling." The verb "falling" is in the present participle form, and it is used to describe an action that was in progress at the time of observation. The sentence indicates that the person was in the process of falling from the first floor when the speaker saw him. The other options do not use the correct verb form for the given sentence. Option A, "To fall," is in the infinitive form and does not convey the ongoing nature of the action. Option B, "Fell," is in the simple past tense, which does not match the present participle "saw" used in the sentence. Option D, "Fallen," is in the past participle form and is not suitable for describing the action happening at the time of observation. Therefore, the correct answer is "C. Falling."

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word. I'll stay home if it __________.
(A) rained
(B) rains
(C) will rain
(D) won't rain
Solution:
In the sentence, "I'll stay home if it rains," the present simple tense is used to describe a future condition. The use of the present simple tense in this context is called the zero conditional, which expresses general truths or real situations. It indicates that if a certain condition (rain) occurs, a specific result (staying home) will follow. The correct form for the sentence is "I'll stay home if it rains." The other options are not suitable because they do not use the correct verb form or tense: Option A: rained This option uses the past tense, which is not appropriate for describing a future condition. Option C: will rain This option uses the future tense, but the zero conditional does not require the use of "will" for the condition clause. Option D: won't rain This option uses a negative future tense, which is not suitable for expressing a future condition in the zero conditional. Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: rains.
