    The word "gig" is commonly used to refer to a live performance by a musician or a band.

    • But

    • And

    • Or

    Correct Answer
    A. But
    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.

    Correct Answer
    A. Was
    Explanation
    The sentence is referring to a singular subject, "the first man on the moon," which indicates that the correct verb form to use is "was." This is because "was" is the past tense singular form of the verb "to be," which agrees with the singular subject.

    Rate this question:

    • Visited

    • Visit

    • Did visit

    Correct Answer

    • Isn't she

    • Doesn't she

    • Don't she

    • Didn't she

    Correct Answer
    A. Isn't she
    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."

    • Choose

    • Find

    • Do

    Correct Answer
    A. Choose
    Explanation
    The word "choose" is the correct answer because it fits grammatically and contextually in the sentence. The speaker is expressing uncertainty about which option to select and is seeking the listener's preference. "Find" and "do" do not convey the same meaning and would not make sense in this context.

    • Costs

    • Pays

    The correct answer is "costs". In the given sentence, the word "It" refers to something that requires a payment of £20 for a ticket. The word "costs" indicates the amount of money needed to purchase the ticket. The sentence also mentions that the money goes to poor people around the world, which implies that the payment is for a charitable cause.

    • Laughing

    • Sneezing

    • Shouting

    Correct Answer
    A. Laughing
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

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

    • Are playing

    • Is playing

    • Play

    Correct Answer
    A. Are playing
    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."

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Our cat ---------- a mouse yesterday.

    • Caught

    • Catch

    • Catched

    Correct Answer
    A. Caught
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

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

    • Gave

    • Gived

    • Gives

    Correct Answer
    A. Gave

    You are Mike,------------?

    • Aren't you

    • Don't you

    • Are you

    Correct Answer
    A. Aren't you
    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.

  • 16. 

    Do you like---------?

    • Swimming

    • Swim

    • To swim

    • To swimming

    Correct Answer
    A. Swimming
    Explanation
    The question is asking for the person's preference regarding an activity. The correct answer is "swimming" because it is the only option that matches the question structure and is a gerund form of the verb "to swim". The other options are either the base form of the verb or the infinitive form, which do not fit grammatically in the sentence.

    Rate this question:
