8. Rice ... in China.

Explanation

The correct answer is "is eaten" because it follows the subject-verb agreement rule in the present tense. In this case, "Rice" is the subject and it is a non-count noun, so it should be paired with the singular form of the verb "is" and the past participle form of the verb "eat," which is "eaten."

Submit

10. People ... (watch) by the police.

Explanation

The correct answer is "are watched." In this sentence, the word "people" is a plural noun, so the verb needs to be in the plural form as well. The present tense of the verb "watch" in the plural form is "are watched." This means that multiple people are being observed or monitored by the police.

The other options either use incorrect verb forms or incorrect word order, making them grammatically incorrect.

Submit
14. The windows of the office building ... every Saturday.

Explanation

The correct answer is "are cleaned" because the subject "windows of the office building" is plural, so the verb "cleaned" should also be plural to agree with the subject. The verb "are" is the correct form of the verb "to be" for plural subjects. Therefore, the windows of the office building are cleaned every Saturday.

Submit

Submit
16. Choose the correct sentence.

Explanation

The correct sentence is "Jeans are worn by men and women." This is because "jeans" is a plural noun, so it should be followed by the plural form of the verb "to be" ("are") and the past participle form of the verb "to wear" ("worn"). Additionally, the sentence correctly uses the preposition "by" to show who is doing the wearing (men and women).

The prepositional phrase "on the train" remains unchanged in both the original and passive sentences.

20. Chocolate is hated by most people.

Explanation

The statement "Chocolate is hated by most people" is incorrect because chocolate is generally loved and enjoyed by a majority of people.

Therefore, the correct answer is False.

21. Transform the followint sentence into a passive one. Many people drink coke.

Explanation

The original sentence "Many people drink coke" is in active voice. To transform it into passive voice, the subject "Many people" is replaced with the object "Coke" and the verb "drink" is changed to its passive form "is drunk". The preposition "by" is added to indicate the doer of the action, which in this case is "many people". Therefore, the correct passive sentence is "Coke is drunk by many people."

Submit
