Answer 2

In the following passage one word has been omitted in each line. Write the missing word.

Humans need food and water to survive.

Atleast 60% of the adult body is made of

water. A human can not go without food about

Three weeks but would typically only last for

three four days without water.

Explanation:

⇛'And' is a conjunction which is used to join or connect two words. So in the first sentence, we have connected food and water by using 'and'.

Ex:

• Meena and Tina best friends.
• I have bread and butter.
• I am going to Jammu and Kashmir.
• He is eating chocolate and cookies.
• I love to sing and dance.

⇛'of' is a preposition which usually show connections and also used to specify number or amount as we have used in the paragraph above.

• I have covered 70% of my syllabus.

⇛"A human can go without food about three weeks." Here using just 'can' would be wrong because we know that human cannot go without food about 3 weeks, so 'not' is inserted which makes the sentence negative and shows that it won't be possible.

⇛In the last sentence we have use the preposition 'for' which is used to show some reason or purpose for something and it is used when we are talking about period of time.

• He is working in Mumbai for last 2 weeks.
• He will invite his uncle for 2 weeks.
