Submit
8. My little brother got a new pair of football ……………………… for his birthday and he was thrilled.

Explanation

The correct answer is "boots" because the sentence mentions that the little brother got a new pair of something for his birthday, and he was thrilled. Considering the context of the sentence, it is most likely that the little brother would be thrilled to receive a new pair of football boots, as they are essential for playing the sport.

Submit

11. I was looking for a new tennis racket (3) ……………………… I saw her.

Explanation

The word "when" is the correct answer because it fits grammatically and logically in the sentence. The sentence structure suggests that the speaker was engaged in a specific activity (looking for a new tennis racket) and then something unexpected happened (seeing her). "When" is a conjunction that is commonly used to indicate a specific time or event that coincides with another action or situation. In this case, it suggests that the speaker saw her at the same time or during the period of looking for a new tennis racket.

Submit
12. Unfortunately, the ball hit the top of the ……………………… and didn't go over, so we lost the point.

Explanation

The given sentence states that the ball hit the top of something and didn't go over, resulting in the loss of a point. Among the options provided, the only object that makes sense in this context is a "net". In sports like tennis, volleyball, or badminton, hitting the ball into the net instead of over it would result in a lost point. Therefore, the correct answer is "net".

Submit
13. I saw Amy there – the girl (2) ……………………… we met at Mark's birthday party last month.

Explanation

The correct answer is "who" because it is used to introduce a relative clause that provides additional information about the girl mentioned in the sentence. The relative clause specifies that the girl is the same person we met at Mark's birthday party last month.

Submit
14. Perhaps we should ask them if they can build a ski (5) ……………………… at the same time!

Explanation

The phrase "build a ski" suggests that the subject is looking for a place or structure where skiing can be done. Out of the given options, a "slope" is the most suitable answer as it refers to an inclined surface or hill where skiing can take place. The other options like "course," "courts," "gym," "pitch," "rink," and "track" do not specifically relate to skiing. Therefore, "slope" is the correct answer.

Submit
15. Hi Jess! Yesterday I went to the new shopping centre (1) ……………………… everyone's talking about.

Explanation

The correct answer is "that, which". In this sentence, "that" is used to refer to the specific shopping centre that the speaker went to, while "which" is used to provide additional information about the shopping centre being talked about.

Submit
16. Apparently, they're planning to build an ice (4) ……………………… too, but I don't think that will be ready until next year.

Explanation

The sentence mentions that they are planning to build something that will not be ready until next year. The word "rink" is the most suitable option as it refers to a place where ice-related activities such as ice skating or ice hockey can take place. This fits with the context of the sentence, indicating that they are planning to build an ice rink.

Submit
17. We've got an amazing new sports centre in our town. I joined last week and I can't wait to start going. It's much bigger than I imagined. It has an indoor football  ………………………, five tennis (2)  ……………………… and it even has an athletics  ……………………… .

Explanation

The correct answer is "courts". The passage mentions that the sports center has an indoor football, five tennis, and an athletics. The word "courts" is the only option that fits the context and makes sense in relation to these activities.

Submit
18. We've got an amazing new sports centre in our town. I joined last week and I can't wait to start going. It's much bigger than I imagined. It has an indoor football (1) ………………………, five tennis  ……………………… and it even has an athletics  ……………………… .

Explanation

The given correct answer for this question is "pitch". The context of the sentence suggests that the sports centre has an indoor football pitch, which indicates that it is a facility for playing football indoors. The word "course" does not fit because it is usually associated with activities like golf or horse racing. "Courts" is more commonly used for sports like tennis or basketball. "Gym" refers to a facility for exercising and working out, not specifically for playing sports. "Rink" is typically used for ice skating or roller skating. "Slope" is not relevant to the context of a sports centre. "Track" is usually associated with running or racing, not football.

Submit
19. You must wear good ……………………… when you run regularly, even if they're expensive.

Explanation

When running regularly, it is important to wear trainers, even if they are expensive. Trainers are specifically designed for running and provide the necessary support, cushioning, and stability to protect your feet and prevent injuries. They are made with durable materials that can withstand the impact and stress of running. While other options like boots, skates, or goggles may be suitable for other activities, they are not designed for the specific needs of running and may not provide the necessary comfort and protection.

Submit
20. We've got an amazing new sports centre in our town. I joined last week and I can't wait to start going. It's much bigger than I imagined. It has an indoor football  ………………………, five tennis   ……………………… and it even has an athletics  (3)……………………… .

Explanation

The given correct answer is "track". This is because the sentence mentions that the sports centre has an indoor football, five tennis, and even an athletics. Among the options provided, a track is the most appropriate facility for athletics.

Submit
21. Put commas in the correct place in the sentences. Sometimes a comma is not necessary.   Jenny who joined our class this term is a very good swimmer.                  

Explanation

The sentence is describing Jenny, who joined the class this term, as a very good swimmer. The comma is necessary to set off the phrase "who joined our class this term" as additional information about Jenny.

Submit
22. The 4th May is the day when we get our test results.

Submit
23. John's mother who lives in Scotland has got six grandchildren.

Explanation

The given sentence is already correct. It states that John's mother, who lives in Scotland, has six grandchildren. The sentence is clear and grammatically accurate.

Submit
24. The woman gave us the tickets is my aunt. 

Explanation

The original sentence is incorrect because it is missing the relative pronoun "who" before "gave." In English, when we want to specify which woman we are talking about, we use the relative pronoun "who" to introduce a relative clause. This clause provides additional information about the woman, stating that she is the one who gave us the tickets. By adding "who" before "gave," the sentence becomes grammatically correct and clear in meaning.

Submit
25. Correct the mistakes in the sentences. One sentence is correct. That's the man I met him last week.

Explanation

The correct answer is "That's the man I met last week." The mistake in the original sentence is the repetition of the pronoun "him" after the verb "met." In English, it is not necessary to use both the pronoun and the noun when referring to a person. So, the correct sentence only includes the pronoun "that's" and the noun "man" after the verb "met."

Submit
26. The restaurant where is next to the supermarket is very expensive.

Explanation

The sentence is describing a specific restaurant that is located next to a supermarket. It is emphasizing that this particular restaurant is expensive. The use of "which" indicates that the relative clause is providing additional information about the restaurant.

Submit
27. The car, Jade bought last week, cost her 5,000 pounds.

Explanation

The given sentence is already correct. It is a simple statement that conveys the information that Jade bought a car last week and it cost her 5,000 pounds. The sentence is grammatically correct and clear in its meaning.

Submit
28. The dog which is very big and friendly lives next door to us.

Explanation

The phrase "which is very big and friendly" is set off by commas because it is providing additional information about the dog. This information is not necessary for understanding the main subject of the sentence, which is "The dog lives next door to us." Therefore, the phrase is considered non-restrictive and is set off by commas.

Submit
29. The school I went to when I was five has been knocked down.

Explanation

The given statement implies that the school the person attended when they were five years old no longer exists because it has been demolished or destroyed.

Submit
30. People who like skiing will love snowboarding.  

Explanation

The statement suggests that people who enjoy skiing will also enjoy snowboarding. This is because both activities involve sliding down snowy slopes and require similar skills and techniques. Therefore, those who have a liking for skiing are likely to find snowboarding equally enjoyable.
