Answer 1

Hint:Read the sentences carefully. Understand what it means when each option is fit into a sentence to get the answer right. Repeat the sentence a few times after fitting in each option to make sure which option sounds sensible. Make sure it is of the right tense and is also grammatically correct.

Complete answer:
Option A) Of - ‘Switch of the light. It’s getting dark’ is an incorrect answer as it is grammatically incorrect and gives no meaning to the sentence.

Option B) Off - ‘Switch off the light. It’s getting dark’ is grammatically right but it gives no meaning. Hence this option is inappropriate.

Option C) Out - ‘Switch out the light. It’s getting dark’ is an incorrect answer as it is grammatically incorrect and gives no meaning to the sentence.

Option D) On - ‘Switch on the light. It’s getting dark’ is the right option making the sentence grammatically right.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note: In the second part of the sentence, it is mentioned that it is getting dark which means the lights are already turned off. Though option (B) is right it does not give meaning as it is already dark and there is no necessity to switch off the light. Hence option (D) is right since ‘switch on’ means to turn on something which is already in an inactive state. So it conveys the meaning appropriately asking the listener to switch on the light since it is getting dark. Option (B) and option (C) are incorrect since it does not give any meaning to the sentence.
