Answers:
Exp: The gerund (noun-verb) has to be the subject of the sentence; hence ‘starving’ is correct.
Exp: ‘Hardly’ means ‘very little’ hence ‘hard’ (meaning – well) is correct.
Exp: ‘Besides = in addition to’ – hence this is the correct preposition.
Exp: ‘Into’ is used to show movement – from out to in.
Exp: ‘In’ shows ‘during’ a time period (May).
Exp: One goes ‘to’ a place and so this is the correct preposition.
Exp: The preposition used to talk about a particular day is ‘on.’
Exp: The verb is in the present perfect continuous tense; hence it should be ‘have been waiting’.
Exp: ‘Since’ is used to show the starting point of any action.
Exp: ‘To set out’ means ‘to start to go’; hence ‘set’ is correct.
