2. Did you get an ___ to her party?

Explanation

The word "invitation" is the correct answer because it is a noun that directly relates to the question. The question asks if the person received an invitation to her party, implying that the person is being invited to attend. "Invite" is also a noun, but it is not the best choice as it does not fit grammatically in the question. Therefore, "invitation" is the most suitable and logical answer.

Submit

Explanation

The word "ever" is the correct answer because it means at any time or on any occasion. In this context, the speaker is expressing their difficulty in getting along with the person's brother at any point in time. The word "never" would imply a complete absence of getting along with the brother, which may not be the intended meaning.

Explanation

The phrase "off the record" is used to indicate that the information being shared should not be attributed to the person who said it. In this context, even though the President made the comments off the record, they still appeared in the newspaper. This suggests that someone leaked or shared the information despite it being intended to be confidential.

Submit

8. Ten cents a piece ___ too much for that candy.

Explanation

12. I __ the job, if the perks  hadn't been so great.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Wouldn't have taken." In this sentence, the correct verb form to use is "taken" because it is the past participle form of the verb "take." The phrase "if the perks hadn't been so great" indicates a hypothetical situation in the past, which requires the past perfect tense. The incorrect options "Wouldn't have took" use the incorrect past tense form of the verb "take."

Submit

The correct answer is "Whom." In this question, "are you looking at?" indicates that the pronoun should be in the objective case. "Whom" is the objective case form of "who," so it is the correct choice.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Lie". In this sentence, the word "down" indicates a resting or reclining position, which is the correct usage of the verb "lie". "Lie" means to recline or be in a horizontal position. "Lay" means to put or place something down. Therefore, the correct verb to use in this sentence is "lie".

Submit
21. Choose the correct one.

Explanation

The correct spelling is "receive." The word "recieve" is misspelled, as it should have an "i" instead of an "e" in the middle.

24. Due to economic crisis, lot of companies are declaring

Explanation

The given options are "Profit," "Annual Report," and "Bankruptcy." The question mentions that many companies are declaring something due to an economic crisis. Out of the given options, "Profit" is the most unlikely choice because during an economic crisis, companies are more likely to face financial difficulties and make losses rather than declaring profits. Therefore, "Profit" is the correct answer.

Submit
25. We are very much interested in __ with you.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Collabing" because it is a colloquial abbreviation of the word "collaborating".

Therefore, using "Collabing" in the given sentence suggests a casual and enthusiastic interest in collaborating with the other person.
