Answer 2

i) I exchanged many old stamps WITH my friend.

• One always uses the word 'with' alongside the word 'exchange' because an exchange has to be a two-way process wherein one gets something in return for something.

ii) Most of the family members dissented FROM his suggestion.

• Dissent means disagreement with something. It requires one to distance oneself from a decision.

iii) Young people need heroes to look UP TO.

• One's ideal figure is usually construed to be something that stands tall with respect, hence the metaphor 'to look up to' someone.

iv) Quinine is an effective antidote TO malaria.

• An antidote is usually applied 'to' a venom or a disease-causing germ to neutralise its effect.

v) I looked at the stars THROUGH the telescope.

• A telescope acts as a medium that translates or modifies the vision temporarily to see far-off objects. Since it is a tangible medium, one has to see 'through' it.

vi) The local officer is vested WITH the power to settle the dispute.

• The phrase that is used is 'vested with', hence the answer.

vii) The houses in Japan are made OF wood.

• Since wood is the constituent material in the construction, the house is made 'of' it.

vii) The teacher can deal WITH such problems in class.

• One needs to deal 'with' an issue to face it and resolve it.
