    The correct answer is "sink" because the sentence mentions that the object is located downstairs in the kitchen, and a sink is a common fixture found in kitchens. A toilet is typically found in a bathroom, a bath refers to a bathtub which is also usually found in a bathroom, and a hall is a passage or corridor, not a specific object like a sink.

    • Aren't they?

    • Don't they?

    • Isn't it?

    • Are they?

    Correct Answer
    A. Don't they?
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "don't they?" because the sentence is in the affirmative form, indicating that the subject (they) loves English weather. When forming a tag question, we use the opposite form of the main verb, which in this case is "don't" for the plural subject "they".

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "to be seen." This is because the phrase "in such bad company" suggests that being seen in that company would be undesirable. The infinitive form "to be seen" implies a passive action, indicating that the subject is being seen by others, rather than actively engaging in the act of seeing.

    • Taking

    • Taken

    • To take

    Correct Answer
    A. Take

    Explanation
    Members of Parliament are elected by the people. This means that the people have the power to choose and vote for the individuals they want to represent them in the Parliament. Through the process of elections, the candidates campaign and present their ideas and policies to the public, and the people then cast their votes to elect the candidate they believe will best represent their interests and values.

    • Have visited

    Correct Answer
    A. Spoke
    Explanation

    • Gardens

    • Lands

    • Fields

    • Grasses

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "fields" because the sentence indicates that the father's farm has a lot of something, and "fields" is the most appropriate word to describe a large area of land typically used for farming or growing crops. The other options, such as "gardens," "lands," and "grasses," do not convey the same meaning and are not as suitable in the given context.

    Rate this question:

    The princess ___ down and slept for twenty years.

    • Lied

    • Laid

    • Lay

    • Lain

    Correct Answer
    A. Lay
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "lay." In this sentence, "lay" is the past tense of the verb "to lie," which means to recline or rest in a horizontal position. Since the princess is the subject of the sentence and she is the one who is lying down, "lay" is the appropriate verb form to use. "Lied" is the past tense of the verb "to lie," which means to tell a false statement, and it does not fit the context of the sentence. "Laid" is the past tense of the verb "to lay," which means to put or place something down, and it is not the correct verb to describe the princess's action. "Lain" is the past participle of the verb "to lie," and it is not needed in this sentence.
