1.
A ___ of water
Correct Answer
C. Bottle
Explanation
In this question, the phrase "a ___ of water" suggests that we need to fill in the blank with a word that can be used to measure water. While both "piece" and "slice" do not fit this context, "bottle" is a suitable answer as it is commonly used to hold and measure water.
2.
A ___ of cola
Correct Answer
B. Can
Explanation
The word "can" is the most suitable option to complete the given phrase "a ___ of cola" as it is commonly used to refer to a container for beverages like cola. Additionally, "packet" and "cup" do not typically refer to containers for cola, making them less appropriate choices.
3.
A ___ of cake
Correct Answer
B. Slice
Explanation
A slice of cake is a common phrase used to refer to a portion of cake that has been cut into a thin, flat piece. It is a suitable answer because both "cup" and "carton" do not accurately describe a portion of cake, whereas a slice specifically refers to a piece of cake that has been cut.
4.
How many people __________ on the plane yesterday?
Correct Answer
C. Were
Explanation
The correct answer is "were" because the word "people" is plural, indicating that there is more than one person. Therefore, the correct verb form to use is "were" which is the past tense plural form of the verb "to be".
5.
We __________ tired after the walk along the beach yesterday.
Correct Answer
C. Weren't
Explanation
The correct answer is "weren't". This is because the word "we" is a plural pronoun, and when referring to multiple people, the correct form of the verb "to be" is "were". Therefore, the sentence should be "We weren't tired after the walk along the beach."
6.
The teacher __________ us our homework yesterday.
Correct Answer
B. Gave
Explanation
The correct answer is "gave" because it is the past tense form of the verb "give" which is used to indicate an action that happened in the past. In this sentence, the teacher performed the action of giving us our homework yesterday, which is why "gave" is the appropriate verb form to use.
7.
I __________ two books when I was on holiday.
Correct Answer
A. Read
Explanation
The correct answer is "read". In this sentence, the subject "I" is the one performing the action of reading, so the verb should be in the past tense form "read".
8.
Unfortunately, I lost my __________ at the airport. It went to a different country!

9.
The __________ to the pyramids took three hours.
Correct Answer
A. Trip
Explanation
The word "trip" is the correct answer because it fits grammatically and contextually in the sentence. The sentence is discussing the duration of time it took to get to the pyramids, and "trip" is a noun that accurately describes a journey or excursion. The other option, "sightseeing," is a noun that refers to the activity of visiting interesting places, but it doesn't make sense in the sentence as it doesn't indicate the duration of time.
10.
My dad speaks Spanish very __________.
Correct Answer
A. Well
Explanation
The correct answer is "well" because it is used as an adverb to describe the verb "speaks." In this context, "well" means that the dad is proficient or skilled in speaking Spanish. "Good" is an adjective and would not be the appropriate word to describe speaking ability.
11.
'Do you can play football very well?'
Is the sentence correct?
Correct Answer
B. No
Explanation
The given sentence is not correct because it contains an error in subject-verb agreement. The correct form should be "Can you play football very well?" where the subject "you" is followed by the correct form of the verb "can".
12.
The students are waiting patient for their teacher.
Is the sentence correct?
Correct Answer
B. No
Explanation
The sentence is incorrect because the word "patient" should be replaced with "patiently." "Patient" is an adjective that describes a person's ability to tolerate something, while "patiently" is an adverb that describes how someone is waiting. Therefore, the correct sentence should be "The students are waiting patiently for their teacher."
13.

Is the sentence correct?
Correct Answer
A. Yes
Explanation
The sentence is correct.
14.
Every time I go skating, I __________ lots of times!
Correct Answer
B. Fall
Explanation
The correct answer is "fall" because the sentence is in the present tense and the subject "I" requires the verb form "fall." The verb "fell" is in the past tense, so it is not the correct answer. Similarly, "falls" is the third-person singular form of the verb, which does not agree with the subject "I." Therefore, the correct verb form is "fall."
15.
My sister and I never __________ our bikes to school.
Correct Answer
C. Ride
Explanation
The correct answer is "ride" because the sentence is in the present tense and the subject "My sister and I" is plural. Therefore, the verb should also be in the plural form "ride".
16.
Can your dog __________ over that chair?
Correct Answer
A. Jump
Explanation
The question is asking about the ability of the dog to perform an action. The word "can" indicates the present tense and the blank space should be filled with a verb that matches this tense. Among the options provided, "jump" is the only verb that is in the present tense. Therefore, the correct answer is "jump."
17.
Burger
Correct Answer
A. Countable
Explanation
The word "Burger" refers to a specific type of food item that is typically made with a patty, bun, and various toppings. It is a singular noun that can be counted, as we can say "one burger" or "two burgers." Therefore, "countable" is the correct answer.
18.
Butter
Correct Answer
B. Uncountable
Explanation
Butter is considered uncountable because it is a substance that cannot be easily separated into individual units. It is typically measured or used in a continuous mass or quantity, rather than being counted as separate items.
19.

B: Yes, but he _________________ speak to you at the moment because he’s driving.

20.
I’m sorry, but you ______________ speak Spanish in class. You have to speak only English!
Correct Answer
B. Mustn't
Explanation
The correct answer is "mustn't" because it indicates that speaking Spanish in class is prohibited or not allowed. It implies a strong obligation or requirement to only speak English. "Don't have to" would suggest that it is optional or not necessary to speak Spanish, which is not the intended meaning in this context.
21.
I don’t eat _______________ cheese because my mother never buys it.
Correct Answer
B. Much
Explanation
The word "much" is the correct answer because it is used to refer to an uncountable noun like cheese. In this sentence, the speaker is saying that they don't eat a large quantity of cheese because their mother never buys it. Since cheese is an uncountable noun, we use "much" to indicate a large amount or quantity.
22.
Jack is running very __________, but I don’t think he can win.
Correct Answer
A. Fast
Explanation
The word "fast" is the correct answer because it is the appropriate adverb to describe how Jack is running. "Fastly" is not a word in the English language, so it is not a valid option.
23.
They are building ___________new flats on our road.
Correct Answer
A. Some
Explanation
The correct answer is "some" because it indicates an unspecified amount or number of new flats being built in our road. It implies that there are at least a few new flats being constructed, but the exact quantity is not specified.
24.
My sister eats _________________burgers, and that’s not good for her.
Correct Answer
B. A lot of
Explanation
The correct answer is "a lot of". In the sentence, the word "eats" is followed by a noun, which requires the use of the phrase "a lot of" to indicate a large quantity. "A lot" alone would not be grammatically correct in this context. Therefore, "a lot of" is the appropriate choice to complete the sentence.
25.
We always work __________ in English class!
Correct Answer
A. Hard
Explanation
In English lessons, we always work "hard." This means that we put in a lot of effort and dedication into our work. The word "hardly" means almost not at all or barely, which is the opposite of what is being conveyed in the given statement. Therefore, the correct answer is "hard."
26.
You __________ watch a lot of T.V. because it’s not good for your eyes.

Watching a lot of TV is not good for your eyes, so the correct answer is "shouldn't." This implies that it is not advisable or recommended to watch a lot of TV due to the potential harm it can cause to the eyes.
27.
You must climb __________. You don’t want to fall.
Correct Answer
B. Carefully
Explanation
The correct answer is "carefully" because it is an adverb that describes how the action of climbing should be done.
