Answer 2

The first blank has to be filled with a correct form of the verb which is left.

The second blank points to the size of the room.

So the possible answers from the options could be small, smaller or smallest and not little because it is the word that expresses quantity.

In the sentence, we don't compare rooms and for the same, the comparison words(smaller and smallest) cannot be filled.

So, the correct answer to be filled is small.

The final blank is for the proposition.

Here, of best suits the blank.

Everyone is not in a position to

(a) leave the family and start living in a

(b) small room on the banks

(c) of the Ganga.
