    A. Hast
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Hast". In the given sentence, Mr. Kilpatrick is shouting "Ruhe!" and then asking if I have my homework. The verb "haben" (to have) needs to be conjugated to match the subject "du" (you). Since "du" is the second person singular pronoun, the correct conjugation is "hast".

  • 10. 

    Ich ______ Angst!

    • Haben

    Correct Answer
    A. Habe
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "habe" because in German, the verb "haben" is used to express possession or to indicate that someone has something. In this sentence, the word "Angst" means "fear" and the phrase "Ich habe Angst" translates to "I have fear" or "I am afraid." Therefore, "habe" is the correct form of the verb to use in this context.

    • Sind

    • Ist

    • Seid

    Correct Answer
    A. Sind
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "sind" because the verb "sein" is conjugated in the plural form to agree with the subject "alle anderen." In German, "sind" is the correct form of "sein" for the third person plural.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Ich höre schon Mr Kilpatricks Stimme. Sie _____ sehr laut.

    • Sind

    • Bin

    • Ist

    Correct Answer
    A. Ist
    Explanation
    This one is a bit tricky. In German the word "die Stimme" is feminine, so when you are referring to Mr Kilpatrick's voice, you have to use "sie". It sounds kind of weird in English but in German it makes perfect sense. In this sentence "sie" means "it", so the correct konjugation of sein to use is "ist".

    Rate this question:

    Wo _____ die anderen Schüler?
