    You’re / Your not finished yet.

    • You're

    • 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.

    Were / Where are you going this weekend?

    • Were

    • Where

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

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

    • There

    • They're

    • Their

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

    • Led

    Correct Answer

    The Swiss Cheese was holey / holy / wholly.

    • Holey

    • Holy

    • 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.
