1. We shouldn't ___ dressed before we take a shower.

Explanation

The correct answer is "get". In this sentence, the verb "get" is used to indicate the action of obtaining or putting on clothing. It is used in the base form because it is preceded by the modal verb "shouldn't", which requires the base form of the verb. Therefore, "get" is the correct verb form to use in this sentence.

2. ​​​​​I should ___ our homework every week.

Explanation

The correct answer is "do". In this sentence, the word "do" is used as a verb to indicate the action of completing or performing the homework. It is the appropriate form of the verb to use in this context.

Submit
3. ​​​​​​I shouldn't ___ in the school.

Explanation

The correct answer is "litter". The word "litter" is a verb that means to throw trash or waste in an inappropriate place. In this context, the speaker is saying that they should not litter in the school, meaning they should not throw trash on the ground or in areas where it doesn't belong. The word "litters" is the plural form of the noun "litter", which refers to a group of baby animals born to the same mother at the same time. However, this meaning does not fit the context of the sentence, so it is not the correct answer.

Submit
4. ​​​​​​He shouldn't ____ to bed at two o'clock in the morning.

Explanation

The correct answer is "go". This is because the sentence is in the negative form, indicating that the subject should not perform the action of going to bed at two o'clock in the morning. Therefore, the correct verb form to use is the base form "go".

Submit
5. ​​​​​​Lisa shouldn't ___ chips and chocolate for breakfast every day.

Explanation

The correct answer is "eat" because it is the base form of the verb and matches with the subject "Lisa" in the sentence. The sentence is talking about Lisa's habit of having chips and chocolate for breakfast every day, and the verb "eat" is used to describe this action.

Submit

Explanation

Whales are the largest sea animals.

Submit
7. The turtle is the _____ sea animal.

Explanation

The word "slowest" is the correct answer because it is the superlative form of the adjective "slow." When comparing the speed of sea animals, the turtle is considered to be the slowest.

Submit
8. They should  ___ lots of water when we do sports

Explanation

When engaging in sports, it is important to stay hydrated. The verb "drink" is the correct choice because it agrees with the subject "they" and is used in the present tense. "Drinks" is incorrect as it does not agree with the subject and is in the present tense. Therefore, the correct answer is "drink."

Submit

The word "born" is the correct answer because it directly answers the question "When was she born?" It indicates that she was born in October.

10. Elephants are the  ___________ land animals.

Explanation

Elephants are the biggest land animals because they are known for their massive size and weight. They can grow to be several meters tall and weigh several tons, making them the largest of all land animals. They have a strong and sturdy build, with thick legs and a large body. Their size allows them to dominate their habitat and have few natural predators. Additionally, their large size also helps them in various activities such as foraging for food, defending themselves, and social interactions within their herd.

Submit
11. The children are _____ than the babies.

Explanation

The correct answer is "more talkative" because it is comparing the level of talkativeness between children and babies. The word "more" is used to indicate a comparative degree, suggesting that children are talkative in comparison to babies.

Submit
12. ​​​​​​Mary is very  ___________

Explanation

Mary is described as "smart" because the word "very" indicates a high degree of intelligence. The word "smarter" suggests a comparison to others, but there is no context provided in the question to support this. "Smartest" implies that Mary is the most intelligent out of a group, but again, there is no context to support this. Therefore, the most appropriate answer is "smart" to describe Mary's level of intelligence.
