4. "I can't see you (4)… Friday."

In this sentence, "Friday" refers to a specific day. Therefore, the correct preposition to use is "on." The sentence should be: "I can't see you on Friday."

5. "I'd like to have a meeting (5)… this month if possible."

Here, "Easter" refers to a specific holiday. Therefore, the correct preposition to use is "at." The sentence should be: "I'm going away at Easter, so how about the week after?"

8. "Shall we meet (8)… the twenty-seventh? That's a Wednesday."

In this sentence, "the twenty-seventh" refers to a specific date. Therefore, the correct preposition to use is "on." The sentence should be: "Shall we meet on the twenty-seventh? That's a Wednesday."

9. "I've got an appointment (9)… the morning but nothing (10)… the afternoon."

Here, "the morning" and "the afternoon" refer to specific times of day. Therefore, the correct preposition to use is "in." The sentence should be: "I've got an appointment in the morning but nothing in the afternoon."

10. "Let's meet (11)… Wednesday afternoon (12)… half past two."

In this sentence, "Wednesday afternoon" and "half past two" refer to specific times. Therefore, the correct preposition to use is "on" for the day and "at" for the time. The sentence should be: "Let's meet on Wednesday afternoon at half past two."
