The correct answer is "number".

Key Points

• Number provides the correct grammatical usage.
• When we say "four in number", it means there are four individuals we are referring to.
• In this case, it's Ram and his three brothers, making four.
• Although 'numbers' seems possibly correct, it is traditionally used to refer to numerical statistics or data, not to count individuals.
• The sentence would read: "Ram and his brothers were four in number."

Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 2".

• Quantity is usually used for an amount or the property of something that can exist as a multitude or multitude of items.
• It's often used with uncountable nouns such as 'water', 'rice', 'money', etc.

The correct answer is "over".

Key Points

• "Control over" is a commonly used phrase and it indicates the ability to direct or influence something.
• So, saying "She has no control over her temper" means she cannot influence or direct her temper, implying that she gets angry easily.
• So, considering the appropriate usage, the sentence should be "She has no control over her temper."

Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Additional Information

• On: Generally, "on" is not used in this context in English.
• We commonly say "control over" something, not "control on."
• With: We generally don't use "control with" in this context.
• The phrase "with control" is used when we want to say that someone is doing something carefully, showing restraint, etc., but it does not suit our sentence here.
• After: "Control after" is not a commonly used phrase and does not suit the context of the sentence.
