    I ate an apple (for, four) lunch.

    • For

    • Four

    Correct Answer
    A. For
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "for" because it is the appropriate preposition to indicate the purpose or reason for eating the apple. In this sentence, "for" indicates that the apple was eaten as a part of or in relation to lunch. "Four" is not a suitable choice as it does not convey any logical meaning in this context.

     Can you (here, hear) the music?

    • Here

    • Hear

    Correct Answer
    A. Hear
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "hear" because the question is asking if the person can perceive or listen to the music. "Hear" is the appropriate verb in this context, indicating the act of using one's ears to perceive sound.

    There are many fish in the (sea, see).

    • Sea

    • See

    Correct Answer
    A. Sea
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "sea". In this sentence, the word "sea" refers to a large body of saltwater, which is the appropriate context for the sentence. The word "see" is a verb that means to perceive with the eyes, which does not make sense in this sentence. Therefore, "sea" is the correct choice.

    The desk is made from (would, wood).

    • Would

    • Wood

    Correct Answer
    A. Wood
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "wood" because it is the material used to make the desk. "Would" is a modal verb used to express a conditional or future action, and it does not make sense in the context of the sentence. Therefore, "wood" is the only logical choice for the material from which the desk is made.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The (be, bee) has a nasty sting.

    • Be

    • Bee

    Correct Answer

    The word "bee" is the correct answer because it refers to a specific insect known for its ability to sting. In this sentence, the word is used to describe an insect with a nasty sting, indicating that "bee" is the appropriate choice. On the other hand, "be" is a verb that does not fit the context of the sentence.

    I (new, knew) the correct answer.

    • New

    • Knew

    Correct Answer

    I ate the (pear, pair) for lunch.

    • Pear

    • Pair

    Correct Answer
    A. Pear
    Explanation
    The word "pear" is the correct answer because it is a type of fruit that can be eaten for lunch. The word "pair" does not make sense in this context as it does not refer to something edible. Therefore, "pear" is the appropriate choice for completing the sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    I (past, passed) the maths test.

    • Past

    • Passed

    Correct Answer
    A. Passed
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "passed" because it is the past tense form of the verb "pass." In this sentence, the speaker is referring to an action that happened in the past, specifically passing the math test. Therefore, "passed" is the appropriate verb form to use in this context.
