Answer 1

\(No.\)	Text	Word before	Omission	Word after
\(e.g.\)	I ten minutes late	I	was	ten
(i)	for work morning. The exhaust pipe	___work___	___in____	___morning____
(ii)	fell the bus. Mr. Brown was entirely	___bus____	___on____	____Mr.___
(iii)	unsympathetic. He said, ‘You get	___You____	___must____	____get___
(iv)	yourself bicycle, Robin.’	___yourself___	____a___	____bicycle___

Explanation: - (i) The word “in” is missing after “work” to complete the phrase “for work in the morning.” - (ii) “On” is required after “bus” to form the correct phrase “fell on the bus.” - (iii) “Must” is the necessary modal verb preceding “get” to form the phrase “You must get.” - (iv) The article “a” is needed before “bicycle” for grammatical correctness.
