2. She looks .......... a famous film star.

Explanation

The correct answer is "like" because it is used to compare two things or people that have similarities. In this case, the sentence suggests that the person being described has similarities or resemblances to a famous film star. The word "as" is used to indicate the function or role of someone or something, while "similar" means having characteristics in common but not necessarily identical. "Same" means identical or exactly alike, which may not be the intended meaning in this context. Therefore, "like" is the most appropriate choice to indicate the comparison between the person and the famous film star.

Submit
3. She hasn't come home ..................

Explanation

The correct answer is "yet" because it indicates that the person being referred to has not yet arrived at home. The word "yet" is commonly used to express a situation that has not happened or been completed up to the present moment.

Submit
4. I ......... TV yesterday evening.

Explanation

The correct answer is "watched." This is because the verb "watched" is the most appropriate choice when referring to viewing something on television. The other options, such as "saw," "looked," and "viewed," do not specifically convey the act of watching television. Therefore, "watched" is the best fit for completing the sentence.

6. Can you hear what he is .......?

Explanation

The correct answer is "saying" because the question is asking about what the person can hear. When someone speaks or talks, they are producing sound, and in this context, the person is specifically referring to the words or phrases that the individual is uttering. Therefore, "saying" is the most appropriate choice as it directly relates to the act of producing audible words.

Submit
7. I only ........... one mistake in last night's test.

Explanation

The correct answer is "made" because it is the past tense form of the verb "make" and it correctly fits the sentence structure. The sentence indicates that the speaker only made one mistake in last night's test, implying that they did not do or perform any other action in relation to the test.

Submit
8. That's what I would like ....... Christmas.

Explanation

The phrase "That's what I would like" implies a desire or preference for something. In this case, the speaker is expressing their preference for something related to Christmas. The preposition "for" is commonly used to indicate the intended recipient or purpose of a desire or preference. Therefore, "for" is the correct preposition to use in this context.

The correct answer is "near" because it indicates the proximity of our living location to the city center.

Submit
