The word "annoying" is the correct answer because it fits grammatically and semantically in the given sentence.

The phrase "but I'm not sure what I want" indicates uncertainty about future plans. "To study" is the most appropriate answer because it suggests a potential future action or goal. The other options, "studying" and "am studying," imply that the person is currently engaged in studying, which contradicts the uncertainty expressed in the sentence.

To complete the sentence, the correct alternative is "Designing." This is because the sentence is referring to the process of designing buildings, which takes many years of training. The phrase "To design" is an infinitive form, which is commonly used to express purpose or intention. In this case, it does not fit grammatically or contextually. "Is designing" is not a correct alternative as it does not fit the sentence structure. Therefore, the correct answer is "Designing."

The correct answer is "making". In the given sentence, the phrase "And we're going to help out by" suggests that the speaker and others will be doing something to assist with the dinner. The word "making" fits in this context as it implies that they will be preparing or cooking the dinner. Additionally, the phrase "take his mind off things" indicates that the activity of making dinner and watching a DVD afterwards will serve as a distraction or source of entertainment for someone who may be going through a difficult time.

The correct answer is continuous assessment.

This means that the student has to consistently work hard and perform well in various assessments and assignments in order to achieve good marks.

The correct answer is "has been acting, 's been acting." The sentence is in the present perfect continuous tense, which is used to indicate an action that started in the past and is still ongoing. The phrase "has been acting" shows that the friend has been involved in acting since the beginning of secondary school, and the contraction "'s been acting" is a shortened form of "has been acting" used in informal speech.

The correct answer is "am having, 'm having". In the conversation, person B is talking about their current experience at their new school. They say "I am having a great time" to indicate that their experience is ongoing and happening in the present.

The contraction "'s been" is used to indicate the same meaning in a more informal way.

The contraction "'s" is short for "he is" and is used to indicate that Jack never gives the books back. Both verb forms are in the present continuous tense, which is appropriate for describing ongoing actions or habits.

The correct answer is "has not finished" and "hasn't finished" because they both convey the same meaning that she has not completed her math homework yet. The use of "has not" and "hasn't" in the present perfect tense indicates an ongoing action that started in the past and is still continuing in the present. Therefore, it suggests that she will do some more reading before going out in the evening because her math homework is still pending.

The given sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is used to talk about actions that started in the past and continue up to the present.
