Let's go through each part of the question step-by-step.

Fill in the blanks with appropriate words:
a) 'He hurt his leg while getting off the bus before it became stationary .'

'Stationary' refers to something that is not moving, which is the correct choice here since the sentence suggests the bus is stopped. 'Stationery' refers to paper products and is not relevant.

b) 'You must buy a personal book of your own.'

'Personal' means belonging to oneself, which fits here. 'Personnel' would refer to people working in an organization.

c) 'Do you think the mobile phone will have a far-reaching effect on the children's health?'

'Effect' is used as a noun here, meaning the change or result brought about by something, which is the appropriate word.


Provided sentences and additional instructions:
b) 'Gently, she laughs and wins the heart of people.'

A sentence starting with an adverb can be rearranged like this to add emphasis on how she laughs.

c) An example of a compound noun joined by 'yet':

'Tried-and-true, yet novel ideas often succeed.'

The compound noun "tried-and-true" describes tested reliability and can be paired with 'yet' to introduce a contrasting idea.


d) A compound-complex sentence with only one independent clause:

Although she was tired, she finished her homework, reviewing it twice.

Here, "she finished her homework" serves as the independent clause, complemented by a subordinate clause.


e) An example of a complex sentence:

'Because he was late, he missed the bus.'

The sentence has one independent clause, "he missed the bus," and one dependent clause, "Because he was late."
