Correct Answer
(B) between
Explanation

Explanation
Solution: 'Burst in' means 'to enter a place suddenly or unexpectedly'. Hence it makes the sentence meaningful.
[#763] His attitude . . . . . . . . his work is very negative.
Correct Answer
(A) to
Explanation
Solution: We use the preposition " to " to show a relationship or connection. In this sentence, we are talking about someone's attitude in relation to their work. Think of it this way: "attitude to something" is a common and correct phrase. Why the other options are incorrect: B: in - "His attitude in his work" doesn't quite make sense. We are not talking about the attitude *inside* the work. C: about - "His attitude about his work" is closer, but "attitude to" is more precise and commonly used in this context. "About" usually refers to the subject of conversation or thought. D: of - "His attitude of his work" is grammatically incorrect and doesn't convey the intended meaning. Therefore, "His attitude to his work is very negative" is the most accurate and grammatically correct choice.
[#764] We congratulated the team . . . . . . . . winning the match.
Correct Answer
(D) on
Explanation
Solution: The correct preposition after "congratulate" when referring to an achievement or success is "on". The standard expression is "congratulate someone on [noun/gerund]". "Winning the match" functions as a gerund phrase (acting like a noun), so "on" is the grammatically correct choice. Examples: "She congratulated him on his promotion." / "They congratulated us on passing the exam." "For" is sometimes used in casual or informal settings, but it is not the correct preposition in standard formal English usage with "congratulate". "From" and "of" are completely incorrect in this grammatical structure. Therefore, the correct sentence is: "We congratulated the team on winning the match." Hence, Option D is correct.
[#765] The mother was concerned . . . . . . . . the safety of her child.
Correct Answer
(D) about
Explanation
Solution: 'Concerned about' means 'being worried and disturbed'. Hence it makes the sentence meaningful.
