The correct answer is "ago". In this sentence, the phrase "eighty years" indicates a past period of time. The word "ago" is used to indicate that the action of being born occurred in the past, specifically eighty years before the present time.

Submit
4. Are you married .......... single?

Explanation

The word "or" is the correct answer because it is used to present a choice or alternative between two options. In this case, the question is asking if the person is married or single, implying that these are the two possible options. The other options, "and" and "but," do not fit the context of the question and do not provide a suitable choice between the two given options.

Submit
5. I'm                  sorry, but I can't come to your party tonight.  

Explanation

The word "really" is the correct answer because it is used to emphasize the speaker's apology. The sentence implies that the speaker is genuinely sorry and cannot attend the party. The other options ("much," "awful," and "such") do not convey the same level of sincerity in the apology.

Submit

The correct answer is "is" because it agrees with the subject "Cambridge" which is a singular noun. In this sentence, "is" is used to show that Cambridge is a beautiful city.

Submit
7. My teacher's from Canada, and.................. name's Lisa.

Explanation

The correct answer is "her" because the sentence is referring to the teacher's name, which is a possessive pronoun. Since the teacher is from Canada, it is appropriate to use "her" to indicate that the teacher's name is Lisa.

Submit
8.  If you want to get fit, you................... do more sport.  

Explanation

The word "should" is the correct answer because it suggests a recommendation or advice. It implies that doing more sport is the appropriate or advisable action to take in order to get fit.

Submit
9.  I can.............. Spanish.

Explanation

The correct answer is "speak." This is because the sentence is in the present tense and requires a verb that matches this tense. "Speaking" is the present participle form of the verb, "to speak," and is not appropriate in this context. "To speak" is the infinitive form of the verb and does not fit grammatically. "Spoke" is the past tense form of the verb and is not correct for the present tense sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is "speak."

Submit
10. ................... is this T-shirt?  

Explanation

The correct answer is "How much." This is because the question is asking about the price of the T-shirt, which is a measurement of quantity or amount, rather than asking about the number of T-shirts or the location of the T-shirt.

Submit
11. I'm trying to                  money to buy a new car.  

Explanation

The correct answer is "save". In the given context, the person is trying to accumulate or set aside money in order to purchase a new car. "Save" implies the act of keeping money aside for future use or a specific goal, which aligns with the person's intention to buy a car. The other options, such as "waste" and "spend", suggest using or consuming money rather than setting it aside. "Lend" involves giving money to someone else, which is not the intention mentioned in the sentence.

Submit
12. I                       to Italy for my holiday last year.

Explanation

The sentence is in the past tense, indicating that the action of going to Italy already happened. "Went" is the correct past tense form of the verb "to go," making it the appropriate answer choice.

Submit

14.  London is               expensive than New York.  

Explanation

The correct answer is "more". This is because the sentence is comparing the cost of living in London to the cost of living in New York, and stating that London is more expensive. "More" is the appropriate word to use in this context to indicate a higher degree or level.

Submit
15. I                       18 years old when I started my first job.

Explanation

The correct answer is "was" because the sentence is referring to a past event, specifically when the person started their first job. Since the person is currently 18 years old, it implies that the event happened in the past when they were 18. Therefore, the past tense form of the verb "to be" is used, which is "was" for the singular pronoun "I".

Submit
16. My sister. .............

Explanation

The correct answer is "is ten years old" because it correctly states the age of the sister. The phrase "is ten years old" is grammatically correct and conveys the information that the sister is currently ten years old.

Submit
