The correct answer is 'on' (Option 2).

 Key Points

• The blank requires a preposition that correctly associates with the verb 'fawning'.
• The phrase 'fawning on' is used when someone is trying to win favor from influential people by flattery. (किसी व्यक्ति की चापलूसी करने का प्रयास करना)
  • Example Sentence: He was always fawning on his boss to get a promotion.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

 Additional Information

• 'Above' is a preposition used in contexts where something is at a higher level or layer than another. (ऊपर)
• 'At' is used to point towards the location or direction of an object or action. (की ओर)

The correct answer is "whereas".

Key Points

• In this context, the sentence is making a comparison between the heights of two people.
• The conjunction "whereas" is used to show a contrast between two things, in this case, the man's short height and his sister's tall stature.
• Correct Sentence: "He’s quite short, whereas his sister is tall."
• Hence, the correct answer will be Option 4.

Additional Information

• Option 1: "Wherever" is a conjunction used to mean "in or to every place or situation".
• Option 2: "Whether" is a conjunction used to introduce alternatives.
• Option 3: "So that" is a conjunction used to indicate purpose or to show cause and effect.
