What’s that? __________ a book.
-
It’s
-
Is
-
He’s

That
Correct Answer
A. It’sExplanation
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.Rate this question:

-

-
Do you
-
Are you do
-

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.Rate this question:

_____________money do you have?
-
How much
-

A. How muchExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Did
Correct Answer
A. Weren’tExplanation
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.Rate this question:

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.Rate this question:

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.

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.Rate this question:
