• A. jewelery
• B. jewelries
• C. jewellery
• D. jwellery
• A. I was knowing
• B. I had known
• C. I know
• D. I would have known

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

1. desire of: wrong preposition for "desire".
2. desire for: correct pairing, the standard way to say wanting something.
3. desirous of: an adjective, so it cannot sit after "no" as a noun would.
4. desire on: wrong preposition for "desire".

The correct answer is desire for.

Answer 2

1. jewelery: missing the double "l", not standard.
2. jewelries: wrong plural form for an uncountable noun.
3. jewellery: correct standard spelling.
4. jwellery: missing the "e" after "j", a misspelling.

The correct answer is jewellery.

Answer 3

1. I was knowing: wrong, "know" does not take the continuous form.
2. I had known: correct, the past perfect matches "would have gone" in a third conditional.
3. I know: wrong tense, present cannot pair with a past hypothetical result.
4. I would have known: wrong, repeats the hypothetical mood instead of setting the condition.

The correct answer is I had known.
