Hi,Vincent Teo
Regarding the option F,In the house, his is very hardworking. He works very hard around the house.
Why "around the house",not "in the house"?Do you mean that "around" is equal to "in"?
Please.....

Hi Marmalade
The word 'around' refers to the fact that various types of work are done in various different locations in a house.
There might be various repairs, upkeep or cleaning to do in various locations -- plumbing in the bathroom, painting in the livingroom, doing the dishes in the kitchen, etc.
And work might also be done just outside of the house -- e.g.on the roof

Is that mean:
(a) They are riding on the elephant.
(b) They are riding the elephant.
Both are acceptable?
