Ans. "around the corner" and "down the street"
These two options are correct because they both provide specific details about the location of a place. "Around the corner" specifies that the new fire station is located relatively close to the speaker's current location, while "down the street" specifies that the fruit stand is located a short distance away from the speaker's current location. Both of these phrases give a clear sense of the location of these places, which is why they are considered specific details about place.
"Over there" is not considered a specific detail about place because it does not provide any information about the actual location of the place mentioned. "Over there" is a general term that could refer to any location that is not immediately next to the speaker, so it does not give a clear sense of where the place is located. In contrast, "around the corner" and "down the street" both provide specific details about the location of a place, which is why they are considered correct answers.
