I THINK A:1
B:of

I think there's more than one answer for both.

For "a" -- 1 and 3
For "b" -- 1 and 4 (This sentence needs to have "the" in front of "nursery school."

a) them

b) of

You are correct.

The correct options are:

a) 1. them
b) 1. of

To determine the correct answer, let's break down the sentence and identify the subject and object.

The sentence structure is:
"Grandmother usually sent a basket of _____ to her friend, Mrs. Ghosh, who was the principal ______ nursery school."

In this sentence, the subject is "Grandmother" and the verb is "sent." The object being sent is "a basket," and the recipient is "her friend, Mrs. Ghosh." The phrase "who was the principal" provides additional information about Mrs. Ghosh.

Now, let's analyze the options:
a) 1. them
2. it
3. these
4. that

Since the sentence mentions "a basket," it is appropriate to refer to the object as "it" because "basket" is singular. Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.("it").

Moving on to the second part of the question:
a) 1. of
2. in
3. on
4. for

The word "principal" is used to describe Mrs. Ghosh's position at the nursery school. When referring to a position or title, it is common to use the preposition "of." Thus, the correct answer is Option 1. ("of").

In conclusion, the correct answers are:
a) 2. it
b) 1. of
