    • I don't know

    Correct Answer
    A. May
    Explanation

    • Some

    • Any

    • All

    Correct Answer
    A. Some
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "some" because it is used to express an indefinite quantity of chocolate.

The other options, "could" and "will," do not convey the same level of politeness and formality.

    • Fastly

    • Fast

    A. Fast
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "fast" because it is the adverb form of the adjective "fast" which means moving or capable of moving quickly. In this context, it indicates that the person always drives at a high speed. "Fastly" is not a recognized adverb form, "quick" is an adjective, and "hard" does not accurately describe the speed of driving.

    • Jogging

    • Jog

    Correct Answer
    A. Jogging

    _ she like chocolates?

    • Does

    In this sentence, the phrase "this time next week" indicates a future point in time.
