    Their / They’re / There car was stolen yester day.

    • A.

      There

    • B.

      They're

    • C.

      Their

    Correct Answer
    C. Their
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Their" because it indicates possession. In this sentence, it is referring to the car that was stolen. "There" refers to a place or location, and "They're" is a contraction of "they are," which does not make sense in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    You’re / Your not finished yet.

    • A.

      You're

    • B.

      Your

    Correct Answer
    A. You're
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "You're." This is the contraction of "you are," which is used to indicate that someone has not finished yet. "Your" is a possessive pronoun used to show ownership, so it does not fit in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Were / Where are you going this weekend?

    • A.

      Were

    • B.

      Where

    Correct Answer
    B. Where
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Where" because the question is asking about the location or place where the person will be doing something over the weekend. "Were" is incorrect as it is the past tense of "be" and does not fit the context of the question.

    Rate this question:

    He lead / led the class discussion.

    • A.

      Lead

    • B.

      Led

    Correct Answer
    B. Led
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "led". "Led" is the past tense of the verb "lead". In the given sentence, it is indicating that someone took charge of the class discussion in the past.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The Swiss Cheese was holey / holy / wholly.

    • A.

      Holey

    • B.

      Holy

    • C.

      Wholly

    Correct Answer
    A. Holey
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "holey" because it means to have holes or gaps in it. In this context, it implies that the Swiss Cheese has holes in it, which is a characteristic feature of this type of cheese. "Holy" refers to something sacred or related to religion, and "wholly" means completely or entirely, neither of which make sense in the given context.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Do you want to meet/meat the new teacher?

    • A.

      Meat

    • B.

      Meet

    Correct Answer
    B. Meet
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "meet" because the question is asking if you want to "meet" the new teacher, not if you want to "meat" the new teacher. "Meet" refers to the act of coming together or being introduced to someone, while "meat" refers to the flesh of animals used as food.
