    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True

    • Who she is chatting to now?

    • Who is she chating to now?

    • Who she is chating to now?

    Correct Answer
    A. Who is she chatting to now?
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Who is she chatting to now?" This is the correct sentence structure in English. The subject "Who" is followed by the verb "is" and then the pronoun "she." The verb "chatting" is used correctly, and the preposition "to" is also used correctly to indicate the person she is chatting with.

    The correct answer is "is putting" because the sentence is referring to an action that is happening in the present moment. The verb "is putting" is in the present continuous tense, which is used to describe actions that are currently taking place. In this case, Jenny is currently putting on a mask.

    • Yes, I am

    • Yes, are you

    • Yes, am I

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes. you are
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Yes, I am." This is because the question "Are you making dinner?" is asking about the person's action of making dinner. The response "Yes, I am" confirms that the person is indeed making dinner. The other options do not provide a direct confirmation of the person's action.
