Fill in the blank with suitable preposition(Preferably British English):- 1. Your books are kept __ the top shelf. 2. I will not hide the truth...

Well, there are some different choices on some of these,
but here goes:


Your books are kept on the top
shelf.


I will not hide the truth from
you.


She was angry (at, or with) me for
nothing.


This is the man to whom I gave the
parcel.


The boys walked to the
roundabout.


She went up the escalator to reach the fourth
floor.


They were throwing a ball at each
other.


He met with an accident during the
flyover.


The boys kept their bikes against the wall and
went to play.


The baby was crawling toward his
mother.


On some of these sentences, choosing a different
preposition could change the meaning. For example, in the first one, you COULD
say:


Your books are kept underneath the first
shelf.


In the last one, you COULD
say:


The baby was crawling away from his mother (you would
have to add an adverb, "away" though).


Good luck on your
exam.

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
