Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The correct sentence of “There is no place in the bench” will be “There is no place on the bench”. The preposition “on” should be used instead of “in”. As the preposition “in” is generally meant for keeping things or objects inside something or capturing the object within something. Here the sentence conveys the bench is full. So, we can sit on the bench that is above the bench we can’t sit inside the bench. So the perfect preposition is “on” instead of “in”.

The correct sentence of “bad news travel fast” is “bad news travels fast”. The verb should be plural as news is a collective noun. So, as the subject is in plural form, the verb should be plural so instead of using the verb form “travel”, the verb form “travels” should be used.
