Explanation

The word "but" is the correct answer because it is used to show contrast or contradiction between two ideas. In this case, it suggests that despite having chickens, there is a lack of eggs. The other options, "and" and "or," do not convey the same meaning of contradiction or contrast.

Explanation

The given correct answer is "laughing" because the statement mentions that the movie was very funny, indicating that it made the person laugh continuously. The phrase "we didn't stop" further emphasizes the continuous nature of their laughter, reinforcing that "laughing" is the appropriate word to complete the sentence.

Submit
8. She is sad,-----------------?

Explanation

The given sentence is a statement that implies a question tag at the end. The statement "She is sad" is in the affirmative form, so the appropriate question tag to use would be "isn't she." This question tag is formed by using the auxiliary verb "is" in the negative form ("isn't") and the subject pronoun "she." Therefore, the correct answer is "isn't she."

Submit
9. I don't know which one to _________ – do you like the black or the red T-shirt?

Explanation

The word "choose" is the correct answer because it fits grammatically and contextually in the sentence.

Submit
11.   Look! The dog and the cat --------- together.

Explanation

The correct answer is "are playing" because the sentence is in the present continuous tense, indicating an action that is happening at the moment of speaking. "Are playing" is the correct form of the verb for the subject "The dog and the cat."

Submit
12. Our cat ---------- a mouse yesterday.

Explanation

The correct answer is "caught" because it is the past tense form of the verb "catch." In this sentence, the action of catching the mouse happened in the past, so the past tense form of the verb is needed. "Catch" is the base form of the verb, and "catched" is not a correct past tense form in English. Therefore, "caught" is the correct choice.

Submit

Explanation

The word "gig" is commonly used to refer to a live performance by a musician or a band. In this context, the sentence suggests that the group "Angel" is on tour and the speaker is suggesting to go and see their live performance this weekend. Therefore, "gig" is the correct answer as it fits the context and meaning of the sentence.

Submit
14. My friend __________  me a very interesting book to read yesterday.

Explanation

The correct answer is "gave". In this sentence, the subject "my friend" is the one performing the action of giving, so the verb should be in the past tense. "Gave" is the correct past tense form of the verb "give".

Submit
15. You are Mike,------------?

Explanation

The given correct answer "aren't you" is the appropriate response in this context because it is a tag question used to seek confirmation or agreement. In this case, the speaker, Mike, is expecting the listener to confirm or agree with the statement that he is making. The use of "aren't you" implies that Mike assumes the listener is not him and is seeking confirmation.

Submit

Submit
18. Yesterday was great – I ________ £10 in the street!

Explanation

The correct answer is "found". In the given sentence, the verb should be in the past tense to match the time reference "Yesterday". "Found" is the past tense of the verb "find", which means to discover something by chance. Therefore, it is the correct choice to complete the sentence.

Submit
19. His shoes are too small, they hurt his --------.
