Hi Chethan,

I have responded to your questions below. I bolded the collocation along with any prepositions you need with it. I recommend that you consider using a resource to check collocation usage yourself. I like to use the COCA-English-Corpora found at english-corpora.org, but you might prefer SKELL. (skell.sketchengine.eu).

1. There are two types of people: those nervous about failure, and those who prepare for (you need for here) and enjoy success. (enjoy success).

2. Take a holiday in New York! (take a holiday)

3. He wanted to see if he could get a job with this company. (get a job)

2. Rakshit had intended to??? Don’t know what belongs here.

4. I'll take a look at the website and let you know what I think (take a look)

5. Couldn't you do me a favor and leave me alone? (do a favour) Favour is the British Spelling.

6. He always gives a hand to anyone in difficulty. (give a hand)

7. It's easy to make a mistake. (make a mistake)

8. I'll just go online and look up her address. (go online)

9. Take medicine when you get the grip! (take medicine)

10. You have to keep scoring the points in the 4th quarter (keep scoring)

11.1 & smiled. (Catch her eye), “1 and smiled”—this has no subject! Is it a typo? He caught her eye and smiled.

12. David has a close connection with/to my family (close connection)

13.Tony left after a quarrel with his wife. (quarrel)

I hope you find this helpful.

Best regards,

Cheri
