2. The employees are from different ____________.

Explanation

The correct answer is "countries" because the word "employees" indicates that there are multiple individuals, and the word "different" suggests that they come from various places. Therefore, the employees are from different countries.

Submit
3. Thirty seven, thirty eight, thirty nine, _________________.

Explanation

The pattern in the given sequence is that each number is being incremented by one. Starting from thirty seven, the next number should be thirty eight, then thirty nine. Following this pattern, the next number after thirty nine would be forty. Therefore, the correct answer is forty.

Submit
4. I have a meeting _________ 5 o'clock.

Explanation

The correct answer is "at". This preposition is used to indicate a specific point in time, such as "at 5 o'clock". It is commonly used when referring to appointments, meetings, or events that occur at a specific time.

Submit
5. What's that? __________ a book.

Explanation

The correct answer is "it's." In this sentence, "it's" is the contraction of "it is." The word "that" does not make sense in this context, as it does not fit grammatically or logically. Similarly, "is" and "he's" are also incorrect as they do not match the subject "that." Therefore, "it's" is the only correct option that fits the sentence structure and meaning.

Submit
6. What________?          She said she was tired.

Explanation

The correct answer is "did she say". This is because the question is asking for the correct word order in a reported speech sentence. In reported speech, the subject and auxiliary verb are inverted in question form. Therefore, the correct word order is "did she say".

Submit
7. What _________?  I'm studying for my exam.

Explanation

The correct answer is "are you doing". This is because the question is asking about the current action or activity of the person being addressed. "Are you doing" is the correct form to inquire about someone's ongoing actions, such as studying for an exam in this case. The other options do not correctly match the verb tense and structure required for the question.

Submit
8. This house is ________________ than mine.

Explanation

The correct answer is "more expensive." This is because the sentence is comparing the cost of the house to the speaker's own house. In comparative form, we use "more" before the adjective "expensive" to indicate a higher degree of expense.

Submit
9. She was eating a lot _____________ she was hungry.

Explanation

The correct answer is "because" because it indicates a cause-and-effect relationship between the two clauses. The first clause states that she was eating a lot, and the second clause explains the reason for her eating a lot, which is that she was hungry. "Because" is commonly used to introduce a reason or explanation for something.

Submit
10. Can I have a Heineken please?  Sorry, there isn't_________ beer.

Explanation

The correct answer is "any". In this context, the speaker is expressing that there is no beer available, so they are unable to provide a Heineken. "Any" is used to indicate the absence of beer in this situation.

Submit
11. We ___________ to the beach if it rains.

Explanation

The correct answer is "won't go" because the phrase "if it rains" suggests a hypothetical situation in the future. In this case, "won't go" indicates that the speaker has no intention of going to the beach if it rains.

Submit
12. When he was younger, he ____________play ice hockey.

Explanation

The correct answer is "used to." This is because "used to" is the correct phrase to indicate a past habit or action that no longer happens. The phrase "use to" is incorrect and does not convey the same meaning. Similarly, "did use" is grammatically incorrect as it does not follow the correct structure for expressing past habits. The answer "used" without the "to" is also incorrect as it does not convey the same meaning as the original sentence.

Submit
13. _________________ books on the table?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Are there any." This is because the question is asking about the existence of multiple books on the table, so the plural form "are" should be used. Additionally, the word "any" is used to indicate that the question is asking if there are books present, rather than a specific number or type of books.

Submit
14. I usually have breakfast at home, but today I'm __________ it at work.

Explanation

The correct answer is "having." In the sentence, the speaker is talking about their breakfast plans for today. They usually have breakfast at home, but today they are going to have it at work. The verb form "having" is the correct choice here because it indicates the action of eating breakfast at work.

Submit
15. I contacted the company last week, but they haven't answered my email______.

Explanation

The correct answer is "yet" because it indicates that the company has not responded to the email up until now. The word "yet" is used to express that an expected action or event has not happened or been completed at the present time. In this case, the person contacted the company last week, but they have not received a response to their email as of now.

Submit
16. What time is it? It's 11:20.

Explanation

The correct answer is "twenty past eleven" because it accurately describes the time given, which is 11:20. The phrase "twenty past eleven" means that it is 20 minutes after 11 o'clock.

Submit
17. _____________money do you have?

Explanation

The correct answer is "How much" because when asking about the amount of money someone has, we use the phrase "how much" instead of "how many." "How much" is used for uncountable nouns like money, while "how many" is used for countable nouns. In this case, we are asking about the quantity of money, which is an uncountable noun, so "how much" is the appropriate phrase to use.

Submit
18. _________late on Sunday morning is my favorite part of the weekend.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Waking up." This is because the sentence is talking about a favorite part of the weekend, and "waking up" fits grammatically and contextually as the action that occurs on Sunday morning.

Submit
19. I ____________ for this company for over 10 years.

Explanation

The sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is used to talk about an action that started in the past and is still continuing in the present. The correct answer "have worked" is the only option that fits this tense. It indicates that the person started working for the company in the past and is still working there now.

Submit
20. When I took your photo you __________ smiling.

Explanation

The correct answer is "weren't". This is because the sentence is in the past tense and requires the negative form of the verb "to be" to match the subject "you". "Weren't" is the contraction of "were not", indicating that the subject was not smiling at the time the photo was taken.

Submit
21. You don't need to buy the movie tickets, Jim _______________them.

Explanation

The correct answer is "has already got". This is because the sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is used to talk about an action that happened in the past but has a connection to the present. In this case, Jim has already acquired or obtained the movie tickets in the past, and this action has a relevance to the present moment.

Submit
22. I ___________to the concert.  I'm not sure.

Explanation

The phrase "I'm not sure" indicates uncertainty about attending the concert. The correct answer is "might go" because "might" expresses possibility or uncertainty, which aligns with the speaker's unsureness about attending the concert.

Submit
23. Whose computer is it?  It's___________________.

Explanation

The correct answer is "John's." This indicates possession and shows that the computer belongs to John.

Submit
24. You're too skinny.  You don't eat ____________.

Explanation

The correct answer is "enough food" because the sentence is saying that the person is too skinny because they don't eat enough food. "Enough" is used to indicate a sufficient amount, so it fits logically in the sentence.

Submit
25. I highly recommend it. It's the best English course _______________.

Explanation

The correct answer is "I’ve ever taken" because the sentence is referring to a past experience of taking an English course. The use of "I’ve" (short for "I have") indicates that the action of taking the course happened in the past, and "ever taken" emphasizes that it is the best English course the speaker has taken in their entire life.

Submit
26. A large new office building _____________ next to the train station.

Explanation

The correct answer is "has been built". This is because the sentence is in the present perfect passive tense, indicating that the action of building the office building was completed in the past and has a present result. "Has been built" is the correct verb form for this tense and matches the subject "a large new office building".

Submit
27. I'm not very hungry, so I only want_______________food.

Explanation

The phrase "I'm not very hungry" suggests that the person only wants a small amount of food. "A little" is the correct answer because it means a small quantity or amount. The other options, such as "a few" and "a lot of," imply a larger quantity of food, which contradicts the statement of not being very hungry. "Not much" also implies a smaller quantity, but "a little" is a better fit in this context.

Submit
28. The computer ___________ if he hadn't spilled his coffee all over it.

Explanation

The given sentence is in the past unreal conditional form, indicating a hypothetical situation in the past. The phrase "if he hadn't spilled his coffee all over it" suggests that the computer breaking is a result of spilling coffee on it. The correct answer "wouldn't have broken" is the correct past unreal conditional form, indicating that if the coffee spill had not occurred, the computer would not have broken.

Submit
29. She bought a new dress ____________ at the party.

Explanation

The correct answer is "to wear" because it is the appropriate infinitive phrase to complete the sentence. The phrase "to wear" indicates the purpose or intention of buying the new dress, which is to wear it at the party. The other options do not convey the same meaning or grammatical structure.

Submit
30. ____________I like peaches, I don't like peach juice.

Explanation

The given statement suggests a contrast between liking peaches and not liking peach juice. The word "Although" is the correct answer because it is used to introduce a contrasting or contradictory statement. It indicates that despite the initial liking for peaches, there is a contradiction in not liking peach juice.

Submit
31. The suspect in the murder __________ by the detectives at the moment.

Explanation

The correct answer is "is being questioned." This is because the sentence is in the passive voice and indicates that the suspect is currently undergoing questioning by the detectives.

Submit
32. She apologized ________late for the second time that week.

Explanation

The correct answer is "for being". This is because the sentence is expressing an apology for being late. The phrase "for being" is commonly used to apologize for a specific action or behavior. In this case, the person is apologizing for the act of being late, indicating that it has happened before and is occurring for the second time that week.

Submit
33. There wasn't ___________ at the club when we arrived.

Explanation

The correct answer is "anyone" because it is used to refer to an indefinite person or people in a negative sentence. In this case, it indicates that there was no specific person present at the club when the speaker arrived. "No one" and "nobody" have the same meaning as "anyone" and can also be used in this context. However, "any persons" is grammatically incorrect and does not fit the sentence structure.

Submit
34. ____________going out for dinner tonight?

Explanation

The phrase "How about" is used to suggest or propose something, in this case, going out for dinner tonight. It implies that the speaker is offering this as a suggestion and wants to know if the other person is interested in it.

Submit
36. During the interview, they asked me how long________for my previous employer.

Explanation

The correct answer is "I had worked." The question is asking about the duration of the past employment with the previous employer. The use of the past perfect tense "had worked" indicates that the action of working for the previous employer occurred before the interview took place.

Submit
37.  If I had a million dollars, I_____ a big house.

Explanation

The correct answer is 'd buy. This is because the sentence is in the conditional form, expressing a hypothetical situation. The phrase "If I had a million dollars" implies an unreal or unlikely condition. In this case, the correct form is the past conditional "‘d buy," which indicates a hypothetical action that would have taken place in the past if the condition was met.

Submit
38. Sorry I can't come to the party, __________ my parents at the airport.

Explanation

The correct answer is "I'm meeting". This answer is correct because it indicates that the person is currently engaged in the activity of meeting their parents at the airport, which is preventing them from attending the party. The other options ("I wait for", "I'd meet", "I've meet") do not convey the same meaning and are grammatically incorrect in this context.

Submit

Explanation

The phrase "We don't get on" is a commonly used idiom that means two people do not have a good relationship or do not get along well.
