    Explanation

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    If you study hard, you ________ (be) top of the class.

    Correct Answer
    will be
    Explanation
    This question is testing the use of the future tense in a conditional statement. The phrase "If you study hard" sets up a condition, and the correct answer "will be" shows the future tense of the verb "be" to indicate that if the condition is met (studying hard), the result will be being at the top of the class.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    If you heat ice, it ________ (melt).

    Correct Answer
    melts
    Explanation
    When ice is heated, it undergoes a phase change from a solid to a liquid, which is known as melting. Heating provides energy to the ice molecules, causing them to gain enough kinetic energy to break the intermolecular forces holding them together. As a result, the ice particles lose their rigid structure and transform into a liquid state, which is why the correct answer is "melts".

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    If I get lost, I ________ (call) you.

    Correct Answer
    will call
    Explanation
    In this sentence, the speaker is expressing their intention to call someone if they get lost. The use of "will call" indicates a future action that the speaker plans to take. It suggests that the speaker is confident in their decision to reach out for help if needed.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    If we take the train, we ________ (arrive) there sooner.

    Correct Answer
    will arrive
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "will arrive" because the sentence is in the future tense and is expressing a future possibility. By using the auxiliary verb "will" followed by the base form of the verb "arrive," it indicates that the action of arriving at the destination will happen in the future and is likely to occur sooner than if another mode of transportation is chosen.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The grass ________ (get) wet if it rains.

    Correct Answer
    gets
    Explanation
    The verb "gets" is the correct answer because it agrees with the subject "grass" in the present tense. The sentence is discussing a hypothetical situation where it rains, and in this case, the grass would become wet.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    If you mix blue and yellow, you ________ (get) green.

    Correct Answer

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    If you freeze water, it ________ (become) ice.

    Correct Answer
    becomes
    Explanation
    When water is frozen, it undergoes a phase change and transforms into ice. The molecules in water slow down and arrange themselves in a rigid and orderly pattern, forming a solid structure. Therefore, the correct answer is "becomes."

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    If you tell me a secret, I never ________ (tell) anyone else.

    Correct Answer
    tell
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "tell". This is because the sentence is in the present simple tense and the verb "tell" is the correct form of the verb to use in this context. It indicates that the speaker will not share the secret with anyone else if it is told to them.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    My teacher gets angry when I ________ (not / do) my homework.

    Correct Answer

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Plants die if they ________ (not / get) enough water.

    Correct Answer
    do not get
    Explanation
    Plants require water to survive, and if they do not receive an adequate amount of water, they will die. The phrase "do not get" indicates the lack of water reaching the plants, which ultimately leads to their death.
