    Roy is the naughtiest boy from ________ all the students in the class. (between/among)

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "among" because it is used when referring to more than two people or things. In this case, Roy is being compared to all the students in the class, which implies that there are multiple students. Therefore, "among" is the appropriate choice to indicate that Roy is the naughtiest boy in relation to the other students.

    Correct Answer

    Correct Answer
    A. On, upon
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "on, upon". The word "on" is used to indicate the location of someone or something in contact with a surface, so it makes sense to say that he was sitting on the sofa. The word "upon" is used to indicate that something is physically or metaphorically on top of or in close proximity to someone or something else, so it makes sense to say that the dog jumped upon him.

    • To, of

    Correct Answer
    A. To, of
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "to, of". The sentence structure suggests that the speaker likes tea more than coffee, but they like milk the most out of the three options. "To" is used to show a preference between two things, and "of" is used to show the most fondness or preference for something.

    • In, for

    Correct Answer
    A. In, to
    Explanation
    The phrase "have faith in God" means to trust and believe in God. The preposition "in" is used to indicate this belief or trust. The phrase "be grateful to Him for everything" means to show appreciation and thanks to God for everything. The preposition "to" is used to indicate the recipient of this gratitude. Therefore, the correct answer is "in, to" as it accurately expresses having faith in God and being grateful to Him.
