3)onto
4)through


Thank you

Hi

Option (4) --- through

Best wishes

Just to add on
through
door/passage etc\t: into one side or end of an entrance, passage, hole etc and out of the other side or end:
She smiled at him as he walked through the door.

[janicelhl]

Thank you. So, I think the answer sheet is wrong as my answer is also ’ through’ instead of ‘into’

[Mdm Koh]

The question has two correct answers. "Walked into the door" is also possible. It refers to someone banging into a closed door.

[janicelhl]

Thank you. Mdm Koh

This type of question has been debated a lot.

Generally both plural n singular are acceptable.

But a general rule of thumb is to let the verb agree with the closest noun.

In this case, students is plural, so should use get.

Some salt _____ the porridge tastier.
1) make
2) makes

why?

Makes. You can't count salt. So it is taken to be singular.

Or

Some (type of) salts are tasty.

In is a better choice. Conveys a maximum timeframe. Within is also sound, but it conveys a general timeframe. So for not delaying, in would tie in better. But in my opinion both convey different meanings.

For example,

I gave some thought about what he had said. After thinking over them, I decided to ...
