2. He solved the problem…………………………two minutes.

Explanation

The correct answer is "in". This preposition is used to indicate a specific amount of time, in this case, two minutes. It shows that the person was able to solve the problem within that time frame.

Submit
3. He put the papers …………………the drawer.

Explanation

The correct answer is "into". This is because when we put something inside a drawer, we use the preposition "into". "Onto" is used when we place something on top of a surface, and "at" is used to indicate a location but not a specific action of putting something inside a drawer.

Submit
4. It is time ………………to the meeting.

Explanation

The correct answer is "to go" because the phrase "It is time" indicates that something should happen now. In this case, it is time to go to the meeting.

Submit
5. …………………he said made me very angry.

Explanation

The word "what" is the correct answer because it is used to introduce a clause that reports or repeats a statement or question. In this case, the speaker is referring to something that was said, which made them angry. The word "that" is used to introduce a clause that provides additional information or defines a specific thing, while "which" is used to introduce a clause that provides extra information about a noun. Therefore, "what" is the most appropriate choice in this context.

Submit
6. Have you seen the book …………………I was reading?

Explanation

The correct answer is "that" because it is used to refer to a specific object or thing that has already been mentioned or is known to both the speaker and the listener. In this case, the speaker is referring to a book that they were reading, so "that" is the appropriate word to use to indicate the specific book they are referring to.

Submit
7. Do you understand……………………………..?

Explanation

The correct answer is "what he means" because the question is asking about understanding someone's intention or message. "What he is meaning" and "what he is meant" are grammatically incorrect and do not convey the same meaning as the correct answer.

Submit
8. The President always works …………………

Explanation

The correct answer is "hard" because it is an adverb that describes how the President works. It indicates that the President puts in a lot of effort and dedication into their work. "Hardly" is an adverb that means almost not or barely, which does not fit the context of the sentence. "Hardily" is not a commonly used word and does not make sense in this sentence.

Submit
9. He told us that before visiting James he ………………… the US.

Explanation

The correct answer is "had visited". This is because the sentence is in the past tense and the speaker is referring to an action that occurred before another past action. Therefore, the past perfect tense "had visited" is used to indicate that the visit to James happened before the speaker's visit to the US.

Submit
10. If it rains, you………………… take a taxi.

Explanation

The correct answer is "should". This is because "should" is used to express a recommendation or advice in conditional situations. In this case, the condition is "if it rains", and the recommendation is to "take a taxi". Therefore, the appropriate word to use is "should".

Submit
11. My…………………….. is from 12.30 to 1.30. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "lunch hour" because it accurately describes the time period mentioned in the statement, which is from 12.30 to 1.30. It implies that this is the designated time for having lunch.

Submit
12. The plane ………………… in at seven o'clock last night.

Explanation

The correct answer is "flew". This is because the sentence is in the past tense and is referring to an action that happened at a specific time in the past (seven o'clock last night). "Flew" is the simple past tense form of the verb "fly", which is the appropriate tense and form to use in this context.

Submit
13. ………………….his carelessness our work was ruined.     

Explanation

The correct answer is "as a result of". This phrase is used to indicate the cause or reason for something negative happening. In this context, the speaker is saying that their work was ruined because of someone's carelessness. "As a result of" is a commonly used phrase to show cause and effect.

Submit
14. John is very fond........................ learning English.

Explanation

The correct answer is "of." In this sentence, the word "of" is used to show possession or attachment. It indicates that John has a strong liking or preference for learning English. The preposition "of" is commonly used to express fondness or interest in something.

Submit
15. …………………… about the Organization?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Were any questions asked." This is because the question is asking about whether or not any questions were asked, and the correct form of the verb "to be" to use in this context is "were."

Submit
16. I can't help ………………… her.

Explanation

The correct answer is "liking". In this sentence, the verb "help" is followed by the gerund form of the verb, which is "liking". This construction indicates that the speaker is unable to assist or support the person in their enjoyment or preference for something.

Submit
17. We walked………………the entrance of the library.

Explanation

The sentence suggests that the speaker walked until they reached the entrance of the library. The word "until" indicates a point in time or a specific event that marks the end of an action or situation, in this case, the walking. Therefore, "until" is the correct answer as it accurately conveys the idea of reaching the entrance of the library.

Submit
18. Mr. Smith …………………..there because of the interesting work.

Explanation

The correct answer is "enjoys it". This is because the phrase "because of the interesting work" suggests that Mr. Smith is currently in a situation where he is able to enjoy the work that he is doing. The present tense "enjoys" indicates that this is a current and ongoing state for Mr. Smith. The addition of "it" implies that he specifically enjoys the work, rather than just enjoying in general.

Submit
19. She said that I ………………… her to stop seeing him.

Explanation

The correct answer is "had told". This is because the sentence is in the past tense and the action of telling her to stop seeing him occurred before the time of speaking. Therefore, the past perfect tense "had told" is used to indicate this earlier action.

Submit
20. On the News. 'The President…………………shot.'

Explanation

The sentence is written in the present tense, indicating that the action of the President being shot is currently happening or ongoing. Therefore, the correct answer is "is."
