    • Be damaged

    • Were damaged

    • Damaged

    Correct Answer
    A. Were damaged
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Were damaged". In this sentence, the subject "several bridges" is plural, so the verb should also be plural. "Were" is the past tense of the verb "to be" and agrees with the plural subject. The word "damaged" is the past participle of the verb "to damage" and completes the verb phrase. Therefore, the correct form of the verb is "were damaged."

    • For getting

    Correct Answer
    A. To get
    Explanation
    The sentence is discussing a past event, where the speaker went shopping for a specific purpose. The phrase "to get" is the correct choice because it indicates the intention or purpose behind the shopping trip. The other options, such as "get" or "got," do not convey the same meaning and do not fit grammatically in the sentence. "For getting" is also incorrect because it does not properly connect the verb "went shopping" with the purpose of the shopping trip.

    • Went

    • Were supposed to go

    Correct Answer
    A. Were supposed to go
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "were supposed to go". This is because the sentence is in the past tense and the phrase "but the weather was awful, so we stayed home" indicates that the action of going to the soccer game did not happen. "Were supposed to go" implies that there was an intention or plan to go to the soccer game, but it did not actually occur due to the bad weather.

    A. Working
    Explanation

    • Has been doing

    • Is doing

    • Did

    • Had done

    Correct Answer
    A. Has been doing
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Has been doing." This is because the sentence is referring to an action that started in the past and is still ongoing in the present. The present perfect continuous tense "has been doing" is used to describe this type of action. The other options, "is doing," "did," and "had done," do not convey the ongoing nature of the action.

    • Too bad

    • Best

    • Better

    • Worse

    Correct Answer
    A. Worse
    Explanation
    Losing your wallet is worse than losing your keys because a wallet typically contains important items such as identification, credit cards, and money. Losing these items can lead to financial loss, identity theft, and inconvenience. While losing your keys can also be problematic, it is generally easier to replace keys compared to the potential consequences of losing a wallet.

    Rate this question:

    • Has been taking

    Correct Answer
    A. Has been taking
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "has been taking" because it indicates an action that started in the past and is still ongoing in the present. The phrase "since September" suggests that Anna started taking the art class in the past and has continued to do so until now. The present perfect continuous tense "has been taking" is used to express this ongoing action.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    22. If Dennis had been in the right place at the right time, his career ______

    • Is taking off

    • Has taken off

    • Would have taken off

    • Would take off

    Correct Answer
    A. Would have taken off
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "would have taken off". This is because the sentence is in the past unreal conditional form, indicating a hypothetical situation in the past. The use of "had been" suggests that Dennis was not in the right place at the right time, and therefore his career did not actually take off. The phrase "would have taken off" expresses the idea that if the hypothetical condition had been met (i.e., if Dennis had been in the right place at the right time), his career would have experienced significant growth or success.

    Correct Answer
    A. Better

    A. Were you going
    Explanation
    The question is asking about the person's state or action at the time of their accident.
