The correct answer is "I'm fine, thanks. And you?" because it is a polite response to the question "How are you?" It shows that the person is doing well and also shows interest in the well-being of the person asking the question.

The correct answer is "was" because the sentence is in the past tense and refers to a specific point in time (1992) when the speaker was born.

The correct answer is "Floor" because the word "level" suggests that the office is located on a specific floor of a building. The other options, such as ground, stage, or level, do not specifically indicate a vertical position within a building. Therefore, "Floor" is the most appropriate choice for indicating the office's location.

The question "How often do you go to the gym?" is asking about the frequency of the person's gym visits. The answer "Twice a week" provides the specific frequency, indicating that the person goes to the gym two times per week.

The correct answer is "is coming" because the subject "bus" is singular and requires the singular form of the verb "to come."

The question is asking about the presence of cars on the street, indicating a plural subject. Therefore, the correct answer is "Are," which is the plural form of the verb "to be."

The correct answer is "speaking". In the given sentence, the verb "Hello" suggests that someone is on the phone and starting a conversation. Since "speaking" is the present participle form of the verb "speak", it is the most appropriate choice to indicate that Ahmed is currently engaged in a conversation on the phone.

The correct answer is "I am cold" because it uses the correct verb form "am" to match with the subject pronoun "I." The other options use incorrect verb forms such as "is" and "has" which do not agree with the subject pronoun.

The correct answer is "as tall as" because it is the appropriate phrase to use when comparing the height of two people. It indicates that Emma and Carla have the same height.

The correct answer is "were" because it is the past tense of the verb "to be" used with plural subjects. In this question, the subject is "Ann and Mary," which is a plural noun, so the correct verb form to use is "were."

The correct answer is "will". This is because the sentence is referring to a future event (the wedding reception next month) and "will" is commonly used to express future actions or predictions.

The correct answer is "the nearest" because the question is asking for the location of the chemist's. "Nearest" is the superlative form of "near," indicating that it is the closest in proximity.

In this sentence, the speaker is asking someone to look for their glasses. Since "glasses" is a plural noun, the pronoun that should be used to refer to them is also plural. Therefore, the correct answer is "them."

The correct answer is "Neither". This is because the speaker is stating that they have never been to Africa, and the word "neither" is used to agree with a negative statement. In this case, it means that the speaker has also never been to Africa.

The correct answer is "was hoovering." This is because the sentence is in the past tense and refers to a specific action that happened in the past. "Was hoovering" is the correct past continuous tense form of the verb "hoover," indicating that the action was ongoing at a specific point in the past when the speaker arrived home.

The correct answer is "doesn't". This is because the sentence is in the present tense and the subject "Hafsa" is a singular third-person pronoun. Therefore, the correct form of the verb "speak" is "doesn't" to match the subject.

The word "prescription" is the correct answer because it is commonly used to refer to a written order from a doctor for medication. In this context, the doctor gave the speaker a prescription for medicine, indicating that the doctor provided them with a written instruction for the specific medication they needed. The other options, such as "note," "recipe," and "receipt," do not accurately convey the meaning of a doctor's written order for medicine.

The word "to" is the correct answer because it indicates movement from one place to another. In this case, the person is indicating that they come from Italy, suggesting that they are moving or traveling from Italy to the current location.

The question is asking for the correct form to complete the sentence "I like ........ in my spare time." The correct answer is "reading" because it is the present participle form of the verb "read" and fits grammatically in the sentence.

The correct answer is "to buy". In this sentence, "to buy" is the correct infinitive phrase that follows the verb "went". It indicates the purpose or intention of going to the bookshop. The phrase "for buying" is grammatically incorrect as it does not follow the correct structure of an infinitive phrase.

The correct answer is "anything" because it is the most appropriate response to offer a wide range of options for the person's drink preference. By using "anything," the speaker is indicating that they are open to serving any type of drink the person desires.

The correct answer is "It's of Khadra's." This answer is correct because it correctly identifies the possessive form of Khadra, indicating that the key belongs to Khadra. The other options either do not use the possessive form or do not indicate ownership.
