Submit
3.  What is the woman doing?

Explanation

Based on the given options, the correct answer is "She is sleeping." This is because the question asks about the woman's current activity, and out of the three options provided, sleeping is the only activity mentioned. The fact that she is in her house or working is not relevant to her current activity.

Submit
4. He _____ reggae music.

Explanation

The correct answer is "can dance". This is because "can" is used to express ability or permission, and when used with a singular subject like "he," it is followed by the base form of the verb, which is "dance" in this case.

Submit
5. You have breakfast in the morning.

Explanation

This answer is true because it states that you have breakfast in the morning. Having breakfast in the morning is a common practice for many people and is considered a healthy way to start the day.

Submit
6. My best friend Alan _____ to work in a disco.

Explanation

The correct answer is "wants." In the sentence, the subject "My best friend Alan" is singular, so it requires a singular verb form. "Wants" is the correct present tense form of the verb "want" to agree with the subject.

Submit
7. A singer paints pictures.

Explanation

The statement "A singer paints pictures" is false because singers are known for their ability to sing and perform vocally, not for their skills in visual arts such as painting. Singers primarily express themselves through their voices and musical performances, while painters use brushes and colors to create visual art. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

Submit
8.  What is she doing right now?

Explanation

The correct answer is "She's shopping in a supermarket." This answer is correct because it directly answers the question by stating what the person is currently doing. The other options do not provide information about the person's current activity.

Submit
9. _____ do you do at school? I read and write essays.

Explanation

The question is asking about the activities that are done at school. The correct answer "What" is appropriate because it is used to inquire about the specific action or activity being performed. In this case, the person is being asked what they do at school, and they respond by saying that they read and write essays.

Submit
10. To mop is a household chore.

Explanation

The statement "To mop is a household chore" implies that mopping is a task typically performed in households. This suggests that mopping is a common activity associated with maintaining cleanliness and tidiness within a living space. Therefore, the correct answer is True.

Submit
11. Susan writes on the blackboard so she works in a hospital.

Explanation

The statement "Susan writes on the blackboard so she works in a hospital" does not necessarily imply that Susan works in a hospital. Writing on a blackboard can be done in various settings, such as a school, office, or even at home. Therefore, the answer is false.

Submit
12. Today is a weekday.

Explanation

The statement "Today is a weekday" implies that the current day falls within the Monday to Friday range. Since the answer is "True," it means that the current day is indeed a weekday.

Submit

Explanation

The statement suggests that in one's free time, they have the option to collect magazines. This implies that collecting magazines is a suitable activity to engage in during leisure time. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

Submit
14. He lives in a beautiful aparment. What is the question?

Explanation

The question is asking about the location of someone's residence. The correct answer is "Where does he live?" because it uses the correct subject-verb agreement ("does" with "he") and it is grammatically correct. The other options ("Where do you live?" and "Where do he live?") have either incorrect subject-verb agreement or incorrect verb form, making them grammatically incorrect.

Submit
15. _____ Alan _____ soccer on Saturdays?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Does / play." In this sentence, the subject is "Alan" and the verb is "play." Since the subject is singular (Alan), we need to use the singular form of the verb, which is "does." Therefore, the correct sentence is "Does Alan play soccer on Saturdays?"

Submit
16. We take English class _____.

Explanation

The correct answer is "twice a week". This answer indicates the frequency at which the English class is taken. It suggests that the class is held two times every week.

Submit

Explanation

The question is asking for the preferred activity, and the correct answer is "soccer." This suggests that the person enjoys playing soccer as a recreational activity.

Submit
18. My pet _____ at home.

Explanation

The correct answer is "never sleeps" because it follows the correct grammatical structure for the sentence. The word "never" is used to indicate that the action of sleeping does not happen at any time, and "sleeps" is the correct verb form to agree with the subject "my pet."

Submit
19. Her boyfriend _____ in our school.

Explanation

The correct answer is "doesn't go" because the subject "her boyfriend" is singular, so the verb "go" should be in the third person singular form, which is "doesn't go". The other options "don't go", "don't goes", and "doesn't goes" are incorrect because they either use the plural form of the verb or do not match the subject.

Submit
20. My uncle's son ____ with his father, now he is in another country.

Explanation

The correct answer is "doesn't live" because it follows the subject-verb agreement rule. The subject "My uncle's son" is singular, so it requires the singular form of the verb "live." The word "doesn't" is the contraction of "does not," which is the correct form to use with a singular subject in the present tense. Therefore, the correct sentence is "My uncle's son doesn't live with his father, now he is in another country."

Submit
21. _____ do you go to the school? Every weekday.

Explanation

The correct answer is "When." This is because the question is asking about the time or frequency of going to school, which is indicated by the word "weekday." Therefore, "When" is the most appropriate question word to use in this context.

Submit
22. What kind of music _____ she prefer?

Explanation

The correct answer is "does" because the question is in the present simple tense and the subject "she" requires the third person singular form of the verb "do". Therefore, "does" is the appropriate choice.

Submit
23. Do you like ____ music?

Explanation

The correct answer is "playing" because the question is asking for a verb that would fit in the sentence "Do you like ____ music?" The verb "play" is used in this context to refer to the act of playing music, so "playing" is the appropriate form of the verb to complete the sentence.

Submit
24. This cat _____ at night, it is awake and it makes a lot of noisy.

Explanation

The correct answer is "doesn't sleep" because the sentence is in the present tense and refers to a habitual action. The word "doesn't" is used with the subject "cat" to indicate that the cat does not sleep at night. The verb "sleep" is used in its base form without the -s ending because the subject is third person singular (cat).

Submit
25. The dogs _____ at seven o'clock in the morning.

Explanation

The correct answer is "eat" because the word "dogs" is plural, indicating that there is more than one dog. In English grammar, when the subject is plural, the verb form should also be plural. Therefore, the correct verb form to match the subject "dogs" is "eat."

Submit
26.  What does she do every day?

Explanation

The correct answer is "She eats healthy food" because the question asks about her daily routine, and the statement "She eats healthy food" indicates a regular habit or action that she performs every day. The other statements, "She is eating salad" and "Yes, she is," do not provide information about her daily routine and are not directly related to the question.

Submit
27. My friends _____ the Italian class.

Explanation

The correct answer is "don't like" because the subject "my friends" is plural, so the verb should also be plural. In this case, "don't" is the correct form of the verb "to do" in the present tense for plural subjects. "Likes" would be incorrect because it is the singular form of the verb.

Submit
28.  Is the girl eating milk?

Explanation

The question is asking if the girl is eating milk. The correct answer is "No, she isn't" because the question implies that the girl is currently eating, and milk is not typically eaten but rather drunk. Therefore, the correct answer indicates that the girl is not eating milk.

Submit
29. The dog _____ his food in the garden.

Explanation

The correct answer is "always eats" because the sentence is in the present tense and the subject "dog" is singular. In the present tense, when the subject is singular, we use the base form of the verb + 's' or 'es' when the verb ends in 's', 'sh', 'ch', 'o', or 'x'. Therefore, the correct form is "always eats" as it follows this rule.

Submit
