191. My father wanted _________ study.

• A. that I
• B. me to
• C. that I must
• D. that I should
• E. None

Explanation: After “wanted,” the correct pattern is object + to-infinitive: “My father wanted me to study.” “That I” would require a different clause structure, such as “wanted me to study” rather than “wanted that I study” in ordinary usage.

192. We are planning __________ out to dinner tonight.

• A. taking our guests
• B. guests to take
• C. guests taking
• D. to take our guests

Explanation: Plan is followed by a to-infinitive, so the structure is planning to take our guests out. The phrase take our guests out means bring them to dinner or entertainment.

193. She took lessons __________ how to swim.

• A. learn
• B. for learning
• C. to learn
• D. learning

Explanation: To learn expresses the purpose of taking lessons: she took lessons in order to learn how to swim. The other choices do not form the required purpose construction.

194. The class teacher __________ Saba move to another chair.

• A. allows
• B. allowed
• C. let
• D. permitted

Explanation: Let takes an object followed by the bare infinitive: let Saba move. Allow and permit require the to-infinitive, as in allowed Saba to move.

195. This date is worth _________.

• A. remember
• B. to remember
• C. remembered
• D. remembering
• E. None

Explanation: Worth is followed by a gerund, so “worth remembering” is correct. The phrase treats remembering as the activity that has value.

196. It is no use _________ again.

• A. to try
• B. try
• C. trying
• D. tried
• E. None

Explanation: The expression “it is no use” is followed by a gerund: “It is no use trying again.” The infinitive is used in expressions such as “it is useless to try,” not in this fixed pattern.

197. Would you mind _____ a picture with you?

• A. take
• B. to take
• C. taking
• D. taken

Explanation: Mind is followed by a gerund, so the correct form is “mind taking.” The structure is “Would you mind + -ing?”

198. Don't make me __ hurt you.

• A. to
• B. over
• C. at
• D. none

Explanation: The causative verb make is followed by an object and a bare infinitive: “make me hurt you.” Therefore no preposition or “to” is needed.

199. You _______ to eat if you don't feel like it.

• A. haven't
• B. needn't
• C. mustn't
• D. don't have

Explanation: “Don’t have to eat” expresses a lack of obligation and correctly places to after have. Needn't is also a modal of no obligation, but it is followed directly by the verb, so “needn't to eat” is ungrammatical.

200. She always keeps on _________ dramas.

• A. watch
• B. watched
• C. watching
• D. watches

Explanation: The phrasal verb “keep on” is followed by a gerund, so the correct form is “watching.” “Keep on watch” is not grammatical in this construction.
