Answer 2

Answer:

1. The police got in by breaking through the door.

2. He joined the company ten years ago.

3. Jatin had been laid up with fever.

Explanation:

In the first sentence, the police tried to make a way by breaking the door. So to make a way, the term ‘through’ should be used. So the answer is ‘breaking through’ the door. In the second sentence, if the usage is in past tense, then the term ‘ago’ should be used. I.e. whenever a past event happened, then ‘Ago’ should be used, as the starting point of an event suggests using ‘Since’. In the third sentence, ‘laid up with fever’ refers staying or falling with ill.
