2.
By the end of this year, Mary ... in Jakarta for 4 years.
Correct Answer

The future perfect continuous tense "will have been staying" is used to describe an ongoing action that will be completed in the future.
3.
The patient .... before his family came.
Correct Answer

4.
David, accompanied by his friends, ... to Mr. Reeve who is an English teacher right now.
Correct Answer
B. Is talking

5.

7.

8.
Neither the big house nor the smaller houses ... right now.
Correct Answer
D. Are being painted
Explanation
The correct answer is "Are being painted." This is because the subject "neither the big house nor the smaller houses" is plural, so the verb should also be plural. Additionally, the sentence is in the present tense, so "are" is the correct verb form. The phrase "being painted" indicates that the houses are currently in the process of being painted.
9.
The town .... since 13 years ago.
Correct Answer
A. Has been left
Explanation
The correct answer is "Has been left." This is because the phrase "since 13 years ago" indicates that the action of leaving the town started in the past and is still ongoing in the present. The present perfect tense "has been left" is used to express an action that started in the past and continues up to the present moment.
10.
The town .... before The United Kingdom came.
Correct Answer
D. Had been left
Explanation
The correct answer is "Had been left". This is because the sentence is referring to an action that occurred before the United Kingdom came. The past perfect tense "had been left" indicates that the town was left in the past, prior to the arrival of the United Kingdom. The other options, such as "has been left" and "has been leaving", do not convey the same sense of past action.
11.
The woman ... is killed at boarding house is 26 years old.
Correct Answer
B. Whom
Explanation
The correct answer is "Whom." This is because "whom" is used as the object of a verb or preposition, and in this sentence, it follows the verb "is killed." The sentence is saying that someone is killed, and the person who is killed is a woman. Therefore, "whom" is the appropriate pronoun to use in this context.
12.
The man ... hair is long looks so beautiful.
Correct Answer
A. Whose
Explanation
The correct answer is "Whose". This is because "whose" is used to indicate possession or ownership. In this sentence, we are talking about the man's long hair, so we need a possessive pronoun to show that the hair belongs to the man. "Whose" is the correct pronoun to use in this context.
13.
The motorcycle, the chain ... is severed, is mine
Correct Answer
C. Of which
Explanation
The phrase "of which" is used to indicate possession or belonging. In this sentence, it is used to show that the severed chain belongs to the motorcycle. Therefore, "of which" is the correct choice to complete the sentence.
14.
The thief ... motorcycle yesterday is being pursued by the people.
Correct Answer
B. Stealing
Explanation
The correct answer is "Stealing." The sentence is in the present continuous tense, indicating an ongoing action. The word "is" suggests that the action is happening currently. Therefore, "stealing" is the correct form of the verb to match the tense and convey that the thief is currently engaged in the act of stealing a motorcycle and is being pursued by the people.
15.
The vegetables ... this morning by my mother was bought in the market yesterday.
Correct Answer
D. Cooked
