13. A preposition is usually followed by a "noun".

Explanation

A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence. It is typically followed by a noun, which acts as the object of the preposition. For example, in the sentence "She walked to the park," the preposition "to" is followed by the noun "park." Therefore, the statement "A preposition is usually followed by a noun" is true.

Submit
14. He ______ all of them

Explanation

The correct answer is "wanted" because it is the only verb that can complete the sentence and make it grammatically correct. The sentence is in past tense, so "went," "listened," and "spoke" would not fit. "Wanted" is the only verb that makes sense in this context, indicating that the subject desired or had a strong desire for all of them.

Submit
15. The auxiliary verb "to do" is never used in the present simple affirmative.

Explanation

The given statement is incorrect. The auxiliary verb "to do" is used in the present simple affirmative to form questions and negative sentences. In affirmative sentences, it is used when we want to emphasize or contrast something. For example, "I do like ice cream" emphasizes the liking of ice cream. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Submit
16. ____________________________? Yes, there is one right across the street.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Are there any stores near your office?" This question is asking about the presence of stores near the person's office. The use of "any" indicates that the question is asking if there are stores in general, rather than a specific number of stores. The answer "Yes, there is one right across the street" confirms the presence of at least one store near the office.

Submit
17. The main verb and the direct object are not normally separated.

Explanation

In English grammar, the main verb and the direct object are typically not separated. The direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb directly. It usually follows the main verb immediately or is connected to it by a linking verb. Separating the main verb and the direct object can lead to confusion or change the meaning of the sentence. Therefore, it is generally true that the main verb and the direct object are not normally separated.

Submit
18. The word "people" is always uncountable.

Explanation

The word "people" is not always uncountable. While it is true that "people" is generally used as a plural noun, it can also be used in the singular form to refer to an individual or a group of individuals. For example, "There is a person in the room" or "These are the people I was talking about." Therefore, the statement that "people" is always uncountable is false.

Submit
19. The shortest possible sentence contains a subject, a verb and an object.

Explanation

A sentence can be complete and grammatically correct without having an object. Intransitive verbs, for example, do not require an object. Therefore, the statement that the shortest possible sentence must contain a subject, a verb, and an object is false.

Submit
20. Are these cats bigger than those dogs? ___________________.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Yes, they are bigger!" This implies that the cats being referred to are indeed bigger than the dogs in question.
