Complete the sentences with these words.I usually ……………………… the table before dinner.
-
Doing
-
Lay
-
Takes
-
Tidying
-
Washing
Correct Answer
A. LayExplanation
The correct answer is "lay". In this sentence, the word "lay" fits grammatically and contextually. It is used to describe the action of setting or arranging the table before dinner, which is a common practice. The other options do not fit as well. "Doing" does not convey the specific action of preparing the table. "Takes" and "washing" do not match the action of setting the table. "Tidying" could be a possibility, but it does not accurately capture the action of arranging the table. Therefore, "lay" is the most suitable word for completing the sentence.Rate this question:

-
Doing
-

A. WashingExplanation
The correct answer is "washing". The sentence states that the person's mum hates doing the dishes, so she has gotten a new dishwasher. This implies that the task of washing the dishes is something she dislikes, and getting a dishwasher would alleviate this dislike. Therefore, "washing" is the most suitable option as it directly relates to the task mentioned in the sentence.Rate this question:
-
- 18.
My brother ……………………… the rubbish out every evening.
-
Doing
-
Lay
-
Takes
-
Tidying
-
Washing
Correct Answer
A. TakesExplanation

-

-
Lay
-

-

Correct Answer

The correct answer is "doing". In this sentence, we are talking about the action of shopping for our party.

The other options, such as "lay", "takes", "tidying", and "washing", do not fit the sentence grammatically or logically.Rate this question:
-
- 20.
I’m ……………………… up my bedroom before my friends arrive.
-
Doing
-
Lay
-
Takes
-
Tidying
-
Washing
Correct Answer
A. TidyingExplanation
The phrase "tidying up" means to clean or organize a space. In this context, the person is cleaning or organizing their bedroom before their friends arrive. The other options do not fit the sentence as well. "Doing up" does not make sense in this context. "Lay up" means to store or put away, which does not fit the sentence. "Takes up" means to occupy or use space, which does not fit the sentence. "Washing up" means to clean dishes, which does not fit the sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is "tidying."Rate this question:
