    I’ve never _____ able to ice-skate well, but I keep practising.              

    • Be 

    • Been 

    • To be

    Correct Answer
    A. Been 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "been". In this sentence, the speaker is talking about their past experiences with ice-skating. The word "been" is the past participle of the verb "be", and it is used to indicate a past state or condition. Therefore, "been" is the correct choice to show that the speaker has had a continuous experience of not being able to ice-skate well in the past.

    You _____ use your mobile phone when you’re in a ‘quiet zone’.            

    • Haven’t to 

    • Mustn’t 

    • Don’t have to 

    Correct Answer
    A. Mustn’t 
    Explanation
    The word "mustn't" indicates that it is not allowed or prohibited to use your mobile phone when you are in a "quiet zone". It implies that there is a rule or restriction in place that prohibits the use of mobile phones in this specific area. The other options "haven't to" and "don't have to" do not convey the same sense of prohibition or restriction.

    Correct Answer
    A. Be able to

    Correct Answer
    A. Had to  
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "had to". This is because the sentence implies that the person did not have any other option but to walk because they were unable to find a taxi. "Had to" indicates a necessity or obligation to do something, which fits the context of the sentence.

    • Could 

    • Be able 

    • Been able 

    Correct Answer
    A. Been able 
    Explanation
    The phrase "I've never been able to dance salsa very well" suggests that the person has tried to dance salsa in the past but has not been successful or skilled at it. The use of "never" indicates a lack of ability or accomplishment in the past, and "been able" implies that despite attempts, the person has not achieved the desired level of skill in dancing salsa.

    • Can 

    • Could 

    • Is able to 

    Correct Answer

    • Don’t have to   

    • Mustn’t

    Correct Answer
    A. Mustn’t
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "mustn't." This is because "mustn't" is used to express prohibition or to say that something is not allowed. In this context, it is being emphasized that touching the object is dangerous and should not be done.

    Rate this question:

    Hurry up! We _____ be late.            

    • Should 

    • Mustn’t 

    • Don’t have to 

    Correct Answer
    A. Mustn’t 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "mustn't". This is because the sentence implies that it is important not to be late, so using "mustn't" conveys a strong prohibition or obligation to not be late. "Should" suggests a recommendation, while "don't have to" implies that it is not necessary to be on time.

    Rate this question:

    Correct Answer
    A. Do 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "do". This is because the question is asking about the time we have to leave, which is a question about an action or event. In English, when asking questions about actions or events, we use the auxiliary verb "do" to form the question.

    • Eat 

    • To eat 

    Correct Answer
    A. To eat 
    Explanation
    In this sentence, the phrase "not allowed" indicates a restriction or prohibition. The verb "to eat" is the correct choice because it matches the action being restricted. The phrase "in the office" provides context for where the restriction applies. Therefore, the correct answer is "to eat."

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    You _____ have to eat it if you don’t like it.            

    • Mustn’t 

    • can’t 

    • Don’t 

    Correct Answer
    A. Don’t 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "don't". This is because the sentence is expressing a lack of obligation or requirement to eat something if you don't like it. The word "don't" is a contraction of "do not" and is used to indicate the absence of necessity in this context.

    • Couldn’t 

    • Don’t can

    Correct Answer
    A. ’re not able to 
    Explanation
    The phrase "We're not able to" indicates that the person or group being referred to is currently unable to answer the call. This suggests that they may be busy or unavailable at the moment, and therefore unable to respond. The phrase "right now" further emphasizes the temporary nature of their unavailability, implying that they may be able to answer the call at a later time.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    I _____ able to read when I was four.            

    • Could be   

    • Am 

    • Was

    Correct Answer
    A. Was
    Explanation
    The word "was" is the correct answer because it indicates the past tense of the verb "to be." The sentence is referring to a past event, specifically when the person was four years old, so "was" is the appropriate verb form to use in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    I hate not _____ able to say what I want in English.            

    • Being 

    • To be  

    • Be

    Correct Answer
    A. To be  
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "to be". In this sentence, the speaker is expressing their frustration or dislike towards not being able to say what they want in English. The phrase "not being able to" indicates an inability or lack of capability, and "to be" is the infinitive form of the verb that follows "not". Therefore, "to be" is the correct choice to complete the sentence.
