    Question

    The following questions have two blanks, each blank indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the set of words for each blank that best fits in the context of the sentence.

    It was free pedicure as we rubbed the soles of our feet

    on the stone steps and dangled _______ in the water for the fish to nibble away _________ the dirt.
    A them, free Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B them, at Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C they, at Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D they, from Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E feet, from Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    feet are being talked about as initially mentioned in the sentence, and repetition of the noun isn’t correct grammar and thus pronoun referring to the feet ‘them’ will be used. For the second blank, one nibbles ‘at’ food. It was free pedicure as we rubbed the soles of our feet on the stone steps and dangled them in the water for the fish to nibble away at the dirt.
