To fill in the blanks in the paragraph, let's look at each sentence carefully and use the words in the box provided to complete the exercises effectively:
(a) Because of poverty, most of the people of our country cannot afford education for their children. Here, 'people' fits as it refers to the individuals in the country who might be affected by poverty.
(b) Poverty is the main reason for dropout from school. 'Main' fits logically as it suggests that poverty is the primary cause.
(c) Politics and violence in the educational institutions badly are the troubles. 'Badly' emphasizes the negative impact of politics and violence on the educational environment.
(d) Unwanted closures of educational institutions affect academic progress and produce a low standard of education. The context indicates that closures negatively impact education, making 'affect' the suitable choice.
(e) Because of poor facilities in the educational institutions. 'Because' introduces the reasoning behind the issue of poor facilities.
(f) Students don't get a standard education. 'Students' naturally fits here, as they are the ones receiving education.
(g) By making their guardians solvent and by increasing the number of institutions, we can send the dropout children to school again. Here, 'solvent' suggests financial stability for guardians, while 'dropout' indicates children who have left school due to poverty or related issues.

(a) Bangla is our native language. (Antonym) - Foreign
(b) Shakespeare was a famous dramatist. (Synonym) - Playwright
(c) Nobody trusts a liar. (Synonym) - Deceiver
