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 make the phrase “for work in the morning.” - (ii) “On” is needed after “bus” to correct “fell on the bus.” - (iii) “Must” is the missing modal verb before “get” to make the phrase “You must get.” - (iv) The article “a” is needed before “bicycle” for grammatical correctness.
