The correct answer is the given sentence "I don't usually give birthday gifts to my friends." This sentence is a rewrite of the original sentence provided, maintaining the same meaning and structure.

The correct answer is "doing". In this sentence, the phrase "have fun" is followed by the gerund form of the verb "do". Using the infinitive form "to do" would not be grammatically correct in this context. Therefore, the correct option is "doing".

The correct answer is "had been checked". This is because the sentence is in reported speech, indicating that the brother told the speaker that their bag had already been checked. The past perfect tense "had been checked" is used to show that the action of checking the bag occurred before the time of reporting.

The agent informed us that the plane was delayed. This means that the agent provided information to the speaker and others that the plane was experiencing a delay in its scheduled departure or arrival time.

The correct answer is "So you're saying you've never been there?" because person B is asking for clarification or confirmation about person A's statement. By asking this question, person B is seeking to understand whether person A has actually been to the Taj Mahal or not.

The correct answer is "What you're saying is that it's too expensive?" because person A mentions not having enough money to travel to the Galapagos Islands, implying that the cost is a barrier. Person B's response reflects this understanding by summarizing person A's statement and interpreting it as the reason for finding it exciting.

The correct answer is "should get" because it is the correct form of the verb "get" to complete the sentence and accurately report what the sister said.

The given answer correctly transforms the active sentence "He can cut out the picture" into the passive voice. In the passive voice, the subject of the active sentence ("He") becomes the doer, and the object of the active sentence ("the picture") becomes the subject. The verb "can cut out" is changed to "can be cut out" to maintain the same tense. The phrase "by him" is added to indicate the doer of the action. Therefore, the passive sentence "The picture can be cut out by him" accurately reflects the original sentence in the passive voice.

The original sentence "She told me a lie" is in the active voice. In order to change it to the passive voice, the object "me" becomes the subject, the verb "told" is changed to its passive form "was told", and the subject "She" becomes the doer of the action, indicated by the preposition "by". Therefore, the correct passive voice sentence with the doer included is "I was told a lie by her."

The sentence "Our homework has been done by us" is the correct passive voice transformation of the given sentence "We have done our homework." In the passive voice, the subject of the active sentence (we) becomes the object of the passive sentence (our homework), and the object of the active sentence (our homework) becomes the subject of the passive sentence. The phrase "by us" indicates that we are the doers of the action.

The security guard instructed the people to remove their shoes, indicating that it was necessary for them to do so. The phrase "must take off" implies a strong obligation or requirement, emphasizing the importance of following the instruction. Similarly, the phrase "had to take off" suggests that there was no alternative and the action of removing the shoes was mandatory.

The correct answer is "had traveled". This is because the original sentence is in the past tense ("I travel by bus"), so when reporting it, we need to use the past perfect tense to indicate that the action of traveling by bus had already occurred before the reporting took place.

In this conversation, person B is asking for more details about why the river trip will be amazing. This is evident from their response "Amazing in what way?" They want to know what specific aspects or features of the river trip make it so impressive or extraordinary.

The sentence states that Keith, Ricardo, and Annalise did not like the idea of doing a presentation about a singer. The phrase "None of" correctly indicates that none of them liked the idea.

The sentence "I bought a nice sweater for my sister" is a correct rewrite of the given sentences. It conveys the same meaning as the original sentences, indicating that the speaker purchased a nice sweater for their sister. The inclusion of "X" at the end of the answer is unnecessary and does not provide any additional information.

The correct answer is "are not cleaned". This is because the sentence is in the passive voice, indicating that the rooms are the subject of the action (cleaning) rather than the maid. The phrase "are not cleaned" suggests that the rooms are not being cleaned by the maid.

The phrase "All of" indicates that the statement applies to every student. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the students had to work in groups of four."

The correct answer is "should be opened". This is because the sentence is in the future tense and the verb "should" is followed by the base form of the verb "be" and the adjective "open". This construction indicates that it is necessary or advisable for the window to be opened in order to escape from the current situation.

Each student in the group had to work on part of the presentation. This means that every student in the group had a responsibility to contribute to the presentation.
