2. We____going to the park.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Were." This is because the word "we" is a plural pronoun, and in the past tense, the verb "to be" is conjugated as "were" for plural subjects. Therefore, "were" is the correct form to use in this sentence to indicate that multiple people were going to the park.

6. I haven't seen my friend ______ last Year.

Explanation

The word "since" is the correct answer because it indicates a specific point in time when the action of not seeing the friend started. It implies that the speaker has not seen their friend at any time during the previous year. "For" would not be appropriate in this context as it suggests a duration of time rather than a specific starting point.

Submit

Explanation

The word "did" indicates that the sentence is in the past tense. Since "feed" is the correct answer, it suggests that the action of feeding the ducks at the lake happened in the past.

8. No, I just ____them.

Explanation

The correct answer is "saw" because the sentence is in the past tense and "saw" is the past tense form of the verb "see".

Submit
9. How did it ____?

Explanation

The word "taste" is the correct answer because it is the correct verb form to complete the question "How did it ____?". The word "tasted" is the past tense form of the verb "taste", which would not fit grammatically in this question. Therefore, "taste" is the correct choice to maintain proper verb tense agreement.

Submit
10. They____to go out.

Explanation

The word "decided" is the correct answer because it is the past tense form of the verb "decide". The sentence is expressing a past action or decision, so the past tense is appropriate. The word "deciding" is the present participle form of the verb and does not fit grammatically in the sentence.

Submit
14. That _________ be Noura's jacket. Hers is red.

The word "tough" suggests that the decision was difficult or challenging to make. It implies that there may have been multiple factors or considerations that made the decision complex. This word conveys a sense of struggle or hardship in reaching a conclusion, indicating that the decision required careful thought and deliberation.
