✔ on
3. was turning ___ of a side street
→ Turning out of a side street makes sense.
✔ out
4. she collided ___ a pedestrian
→ "collided with" is the correct phrasal verb.

→ This needs a pronoun referring to the situation.
→ "It" is used to refer to the incident: "It was the pedestrian's fault."

6. he apologised ___ his carelessness
→ "Apologise for" is the correct preposition.
✔ for
7. Neither was badly hurt ___ the girl went ___ smiling cheerfully.
→ The two clauses are connected: neither was hurt, and the girl went away.

✔ and
8. the girl went ___ smiling cheerfully
