    • Will be

    Correct Answer
    A. To be
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "To be" because the sentence is expressing the importance of being on time for the meeting tomorrow. "To be" is the correct form of the verb to convey this meaning.

    Last week, we  ------ to the new Thai restaurant. 

    • Went 

    • Have gone

    • Had gone 

    • Were going 

    Correct Answer
    A. Went 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Went". This is because the sentence is referring to an action that happened in the past, indicating a completed action. "Went" is the simple past tense of the verb "to go", which is appropriate for describing an action that occurred last week.

    • Owns

    • Is belonged

    • Owned

    Correct Answer
    A. Is owned
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Is owned" because the sentence is in the passive voice and is referring to the subject (the new restaurant) being the recipient of the action (ownership) by Mr. Davenport. The verb "is owned" correctly indicates this passive relationship between the subject and the action.

    • Was selling

    • Is sold

    • Sold

    Correct Answer
    A. Was sold
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Was sold." This is because the sentence is in the past tense and the subject "the old chair" is singular, so the correct form of the verb "to sell" is "was sold."

    • Neither

    • Also

    A. Both 
    Explanation
    Traveling to a foreign country has both its positive and negative points. This means that there are advantages as well as disadvantages to traveling to a foreign country. It implies that there are positive aspects such as experiencing new cultures, trying new foods, and exploring different landscapes, but there are also negative aspects such as language barriers, cultural differences, and potential safety concerns.

    • Broken

    • Break

    • Was broken

    • Breaks

    Correct Answer
    A. Broken
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Broken" because the sentence structure suggests that Stan's arm experienced an action or state in the past. "Broken" is the past participle form of the verb "break," which fits the context of the sentence.

  • 8. 

    If everyone did their part, the Earth  ------ a cleaner place. 

    • Would be

    • Was

    • Must be

    • Will be

    Correct Answer
    A. Would be
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Would be". This is because the sentence is talking about a hypothetical situation, where the condition "if everyone did their part" is being considered. In this hypothetical scenario, the result would be that the Earth "would be" a cleaner place.

    • Even if

    • Despite

    Correct Answer
    A. Despite
    Explanation
    Despite the invention of email, many elderly people still prefer writing letters. This sentence suggests that despite the availability and convenience of email, elderly individuals continue to choose the traditional method of writing letters. The word "despite" indicates a contrast or contradiction between the two ideas, emphasizing the persistence of this preference.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    You ----- have seen Jane at the mall!   She is in Canada right now.

    • Shouldn't

    • Must not 

    • Couldn't 

    Correct Answer
    A. Couldn't 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Couldn't". This is because the sentence suggests that Jane is currently in Canada, which means it is not possible for the person to have seen her at the mall. "Couldn't" indicates the inability or impossibility of the action happening in the past.
