A statement with one blank is given below. Choose the set of words from the given options which can be used to fill the given blank.
Joshua, with his members, ____ really well.
Explanation: Solution: <br> Among the following options, 'D' is the correct one. <br> So, the complete sentence is- Joshua, with his members, sings really well. <br> Here, Joshua is the singular number and it is followed by 'with his members'. <br> The subject is parted from the verb by 'with his members'. <br> So,'s' is added to the verb 'sing'. <br> Another example- 'He with all his puppies, stays near my house.'
Out of given alternatives select the option which best expresses the meaning of given idiom/ phrase.
To beg the question
Explanation: Solution: The correct answer is B: To take for granted. <br> Here's why: <br> The idiom 'to beg the question' doesn't mean 'to ask a question'.<br> It actually means to assume something is true without providing evidence for it. <br> Think of it as assuming the very thing you're trying to prove, like a circular argument. <br> Let's look at the other options: <br> A: To refer to - This doesn't relate to the meaning of the idiom. <br> C: To raise objections - While begging the question can lead to objections, it's not the definition itself. <br> D: To be discussed - Something 'to be discussed' isn't necessarily related to assuming something without proof. <br> E: None of these - Is incorrect because B is the correct answer. <br> Therefore, the best fit is 'To take for granted' because it accurately describes the action of assuming something to be true without proper justification.

He was instructed by the villagers to mind the sheep and take care of them. 'Don't let them stray', said the villagers to him. 'And keep a good look out for the wolves. Don't go far away, and if you see a wolf coming near the sheep, shout out Wolf as loudly as you can and we will come at once to help you. 'All right' said the boy, 'I will be careful.' So every morning he drove his sheep out to the hillside and watched them all day. And when evening came, he drove them home again. But after a few day he got rather tired of this lonely life. Nothing happened and no wolves came. So one afternoon he said to himself. 'These villagers have given me a very useless job. I think I will play a trick on them, just for fun.' <br><br> So he got up and began shouting as loudly as he could. 'Wolf Wolf?' The people in the village heard him and at once they came running with their sticks. 'Wolf, Wolf' shoulted the boy, and they ran faster. At last they came up to him out of breath. 'Where is the wolf?' they panted. But the boy only laughed and said; 'There is no wolf?' I only shouted for fun. And it was fun to see you all running as hard as you could.' The men were very angry. 'You mischievous boy!' they said. 'If you play a trick like that again, we will beat you instead of the wolf.' And they went back to their work in the village. For some days the boy kept quiet. But he got restless again, and said to himself; 'I wonder if they will come running again if I cry wolf once more. It was so much fun the last time. <br><br> So once more he began shouting, 'Wolf, Wolf'. The villager heard him. Some said, 'That boy is up to his trick again', But other said, 'It may be true this time, and if there really is a wolf, we shall lose some of our sheep. 'So they seized their sticks, and ran out of the village to the sheep. <br><br> 'Where is the wolf?' they shouted, as they came up. 'Nowhere' said the boy laughing. 'It was fun to see you running up the hill as fast as you could'. 'We will teach you to play jokes', shouted the angry men, and they seized the boy and gave him a good beating, and left him crying instead of laughing. <br><br> A few days later a wolf really did come. When the boy saw it, he was very frightened and began shouting 'Wolf! Wolf'. The villagers heard him, but they said, 'We won't make a fool of ourselves for a third time. You can't believe a boy after you have caught him lying twice.' So no one went to help him, and the wolf killed several sheep and frightened the boy nearly out of his wits. But he learnt his lesson.
What was the task given to the boy in the village?
Explanation: Kindly refer to the 1st sentence of the 1st paragraph. <br> Hence, option A is correct
