2. No further reasons were given.

3. He walked off without further ceremony.

4. Until further orders Mr KS Dave will act as Headmaster of Nira High School.

5. To let, a bungalow at Ridge Road. For further particulars apply to Box No. 65.

Explanation:

• While further and farther are frequently used interchangeably, they don't necessarily mean the same thing. Generally speaking, farther relates to real distances between objects, whereas farther refers to figurative lengths or something that is extra or more.

• Further and farther have different meanings depending on which of these words is used as an adverb, adjective, or verb, which makes it difficult to discern between them. One is preferable in some circumstances, the other can be used with some latitude, and in still other circumstances it doesn't really matter which one you choose.
• The blanks above are filled in such a way that for real distances, farther is used like in the first sentence.
• The sentences 2., 3., 4., and5. talk about the figurative lengths, so we use 'further' in the blanks.
