231. He wore multiple bracelets on __________hand.

• A. every
• B. each
• C. either
• D. neither

Explanation: Each refers separately to the two hands, so “on each hand” is correct. Every can modify singular countable nouns but is not natural with this two-item body-part expression.

232. The man ___________down the road is my brother.

• A. hurry
• B. hurried
• C. to hurry
• D. hurrying

Explanation: “Hurrying” is a present participle modifying “the man,” forming the phrase “the man hurrying down the road.” The other options do not fit this reduced relative construction.

233. I am very much __________to meet you.

• A. delight
• B. to delight
• C. delighting
• D. delighted

Explanation: After “I am,” the adjective “delighted” describes the speaker's feeling. “Delight” is a noun or verb, while “delighting” does not express the intended state.

234. He has many friends, but _________are good ones.

• A. a few
• B. few
• C. the few
• D. the some

Explanation: “Few” means not many and suits the contrast with “many friends.” “A few” means some and is less strongly contrastive, while “the few” refers to a specific small group.

235. That was __________movie I have ever seen.

• A. worse
• B. the worst
• C. most worst
• D. bad

Explanation: “Ever” with a comparison across all experiences requires the superlative form “the worst.” “Worse” is comparative, and “most worst” incorrectly combines two superlative forms.

236. There were many students ______ all the answers.

• A. those knew
• B. that knows
• C. who knowing
• D. who knew

Explanation: “Who knew all the answers” is a relative clause describing “students,” and “who” correctly introduces it. The past-tense verb “knew” also agrees with the past context of “were.”

237. Our new digital photo-print machine, the manual ________is lost awaits to be set up properly.

• A. of what
• B. where
• C. by whom
• D. of which

Explanation: “The manual of which” refers back to the machine and means that the machine’s manual is lost. “Which” alone would not express this possessive relationship.

238. The confusion __________ the discovery of the body made everybody lose track of time.

• A. had caused
• B. was caused by
• C. had been caused by
• D. caused by

Explanation: “Caused by the discovery of the body” is a reduced passive phrase modifying “confusion.” The full form would be “the confusion that was caused by the discovery.”

239. Take the book ___________ the table.

• A. Off
• B. In
• C. Into
• D. Out of

Explanation: Off is correct because the book rests on a surface and is being removed from it. Into and out of imply movement through an enclosed space, which a tabletop is not.

240. Nafeesa is afraid ___________spiders?

• A. from
• B. in
• C. about
• D. of

Explanation: The fixed expression is “afraid of,” so the sentence reads, “Nafeesa is afraid of spiders.” Other prepositions do not collocate with afraid in standard English.
