Solution: In order to look at the traffic one must look through the window and not at or over it. The traffic on the road moves along the road and cannot move across it. The preposition at is more appropriate than the preposition in as the phrase is generally at a fast pace and not in a fast pace. Hence, the correct answer is option 2. 2.

Solution: A person can run across the road and not through it, and running at the road is an incorrect use of the preposition. In the context of the sentence the preposition down is appropriate as to knock down means to cause to collide. The preposition by is correct as the phrase knocked down in this context has to be followed by the preposition by. Hence, the correct answer is option 4. 3.

Solution: The first blank can be filled either by an indefinite article a or a definite article the according to the context.

The word ordinary is to be preceded by an indefinite article an as the first letter of the word is a vowel. Hence, the correct answer is option 4. 8.
