Short answer

a) will talk; b) sinks; c) was; d) has been; e) was; f) to; g) in; h) had done; i) was waiting; j) He was allowed to play.

Choose the correct words from the brackets: a) If he should wake up, I ........... to him (talk, will talk) b) If you throw a stone into water, it ........... (sinks, will sink) c) The letter, together with some applications, ........... lost yesterday. (was, were) d) Message after message ........... sent to her. (have been, has been) e) Each of them ........... happy. (were, was) f) He has no adherence ........... old system of rituals in marriage. (for, to) g) She is accomplished ........... music. (in, into) h) They thanked me for what I ........... (did, had done) i) Shanti ........... for me when I arrived. (had waited, was waiting) j) The passive voice of 'He let her to play' is ........... (He is let to play, He was allowed to play)

a) will talk: "If he should wake up" is a possible future condition, so "will" is used in the result. b) sinks: a general truth, so the simple present is used on both sides. c) was: "together with" does not change the singular subject "letter". d) has been: "Message after message" is singular. e) was: "Each of them" takes a singular verb. f) to: "adherence to" a system. g) in: "accomplished in" a skill. h) had done: reported speech with backshift. i) was waiting: a past continuous action in progress when another action occurred. j) He was allowed to play: "let" has no passive, so "allowed" is used.
