Submit
18. When Kate was a child, she  __________ live in a house by the sea.

Explanation

The correct answer is "used to." This is because the phrase "used to" is used to talk about past habits or states that are no longer true.

Submit
25. __________ you like to go out or watch TV night?

Explanation

The correct answer is "would" because it is used to express a conditional or hypothetical situation in the past or present.

Submit
26. A: The sky is quite cloudy. B: Yes, it __________ rain soon.

Explanation

Based on the information provided that the sky is quite cloudy, it is reasonable to assume that rain is a possibility. The word "may" indicates a possibility or likelihood, which fits the context of the conversation. "Probably" also implies likelihood, but it is not as strong as "may" in this case. "Can't" and "must" are both too definitive and do not align with the uncertainty conveyed by the cloudy sky. Therefore, "may" is the most appropriate answer.

Submit
27. I __________ karate if I had more free time.

Explanation

The phrase "if I had more free time" indicates a hypothetical or unreal condition.

It implies that the person currently does not have enough free time to pursue karate but would do so if the circumstances were different.

Submit
28. Which is the correct sentence?

Explanation

Submit
29. Emma __________ me she had been to India.

Explanation

In this sentence, the verb "told" is the correct answer because it is the most appropriate verb to use when someone communicates information to another person. The other options, "says," "said," and "told to," are not grammatically correct in this context. "Says" is the present tense form of the verb and does not match the past tense of the sentence. "Said" is the past tense form of the verb, but it does not convey the act of communication to another person. "Told to" is an incorrect construction and does not fit the sentence structure. Therefore, "told" is the correct answer.

Submit
30. The burglars broke __________ the house and stole some jewels and money.

Explanation

The correct answer is "into". This is because "into" is used to indicate movement or action towards the inside of a place, which fits the context of the sentence. The burglars broke into the house, suggesting that they forcefully entered the house in order to commit the theft.
