Answer 2

Answer:

Give the appropriate word to fill the blank. The meaning of the whole word is given in brackets. (1) To step –––––––––– (to resign) (2) To kindle –––––––––– (to make something start to burn)

• According to the given question 'down' is right word for the blank space, so it is : To step down.

• 'Step down' is a Pharasal Verb.

• When a Preposition is added to the Main Verb and they together imply a new meaning, it is known as a Group Verb or a Prepositional Verb.

• Step is a verb and down is a preposition. Both are different words but step down means resign. Step down's similar word is 'stand aside'. It means 'withdraw'.

• For second blank space 'a fire' is correct because kindle means is already mentioned in the bracket : to make something start to burn.
