  • 2. 

    I work as a teacher and my wife ………, too.

    • Do

    • Is

    • Work

    • Does

    Correct Answer
    A. Does
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "does" because it agrees with the subject "my wife." In this sentence, the subject "my wife" is singular, so we use the third person singular form of the verb "do," which is "does."

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Complete the following sentence:Where is your car today? It___________ repaired

    Correct Answer
    is being
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "is being". The sentence is asking about the current location of the car and implies that it is currently undergoing the process of being repaired. The phrase "is being" suggests that the car is in the process of being repaired by someone else.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Would you like ……… help?

    • A

    • Some

    • Me

    • I

    Correct Answer
    A. Some
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "some" because the question is asking if the person would like "some" help. The word "some" suggests a quantity or amount that is not specified, but it implies that there is assistance available if needed.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    It's a pity you ……… here last night.

    • Weren't

    • Aren't

    • 'll not be

    • 'd not be

    Correct Answer
    A. Weren't
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "weren't." The phrase "It's a pity" suggests that something unfortunate or regrettable happened. The use of "weren't" indicates that the person being addressed was not present or did not attend the event that took place last night.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Somebody stole his wallet so he ……… money from a friend.

    • Lent

    • Earned

    • Borrowed

    • Lended

    Correct Answer
    A. Borrowed
    Explanation
    In this scenario, the person's wallet was stolen, which means they no longer have money. Therefore, they need to acquire money from someone else. The word "borrowed" implies that the person obtained money from a friend temporarily, with the intention of returning it later. This is the most appropriate word choice as it aligns with the context of the situation.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    These bottles ……… of plastic.

    • Are making

    • Are make

    • Are made

    • Made are

    Correct Answer
    A. Are made
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "are made". This is because the sentence is referring to the bottles and stating that they are made of plastic. The verb "are" is used to indicate the present tense and the subject "bottles" is plural, so "are made" is the appropriate verb form to match the subject and tense of the sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    ……… is it from here to Berlin?

    • How long way

    • How long

    • How far

    • How many

    Correct Answer
    A. How far
    Explanation
    The question is asking for the distance from the current location to Berlin. "How far" is the most appropriate phrase to use in this context as it specifically refers to distance. The other options, such as "How long way" and "How long," do not convey the same meaning and may confuse the intended message. "How many" is also not suitable as it is used to inquire about quantity rather than distance.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    You have a terrible fever! ……… call a doctor?

    • Do I

    • Must I

    • Shall I

    • Will I

    Correct Answer
    A. Shall I
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Shall I." This question is asking for a suggestion or recommendation on what action to take when someone has a terrible fever. "Shall I" is often used to make a polite inquiry or seek advice, making it the most appropriate response in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Is this sentence correct?Most of the people in the office was mad at him. 

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    The sentence "Most of the people in the office was mad at him" is incorrect because the subject "people" is plural, so the verb should also be plural. Instead, it should be "Most of the people in the office were mad at him."

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Is this sentence correct?Not forget to bring the passport to the airport! 

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    The sentence "Not forget to bring the passport to the airport!" is not correct because it lacks a subject. The correct form would be "Do not forget to bring the passport to the airport!" where "do" acts as the subject.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Mum gave ……… her job when I was born.

    • In

    • Up

    • Off

    • Away

    Correct Answer
    A. Up
    Explanation
    When someone "gives up" a job, it means they quit or resign from it. In this context, the mother quit her job when the speaker was born. The other options do not fit the sentence in the same way. "Gave in" does not make sense in this context, "gave off" means to emit or release something, and "gave away" means to give something as a gift or donation. Therefore, "up" is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    He hasn’t played since he ……… the accident.

    • Has had

    • Had had

    • Has

    • Had

    Correct Answer
    A. Had
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "had." The sentence is in the past tense and is referring to a point in time before the present. The word "since" indicates that the action of not playing occurred after the accident. Therefore, the past tense form "had" is the appropriate choice.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    I’m afraid I ……… here for your birthday party.

    • Have not to be

    • Am not being

    • Will be not

    • Can’t be

    Correct Answer
    A. Can’t be
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "can't be." This is because the phrase "I'm afraid" implies a negative or regretful sentiment, and the word "can't" expresses impossibility or inability. Therefore, "can't be" is the most suitable choice to convey the speaker's inability to attend the birthday party.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Now that you have read the California Strawberry Festival, answer the following question:Who is the target audience of the "Strawberryland"?

    • Adolescents

    • Children

    • Adults

    • The elderly

    Correct Answer
    A. Children
    Explanation
    Based on the given information, the target audience of "Strawberryland" is children. The California Strawberry Festival is mentioned, suggesting that "Strawberryland" is likely a part of this festival. Since the festival is mentioned, it can be inferred that "Strawberryland" is an attraction or activity specifically designed for children to enjoy.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    The Strawberry Festival gets an annual revenue of $6,600 million from 100 berry acres.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because an annual revenue of $6,600 million from just 100 berry acres seems highly unlikely. This would imply that each berry acre generates a revenue of $66 million, which is an extremely high amount. It is more reasonable to assume that the revenue from 100 berry acres would be much lower than $6,600 million.

    Rate this question:

  • 17.

    • Would like more

    • Prefer

    The phrase "would rather" is used to express a preference or choice between two options. In this sentence, the speaker is stating that they prefer to drink beer instead of wine.

The phrase "wants you to come" indicates that Mr. Haines desires or requires your presence in his office. The correct answer, "you to come," correctly follows the structure of the sentence and conveys the intended meaning.

    • Neither

    A. Either
    Explanation
    Maria has two sisters, but she doesn't speak to either of them. This means that Maria doesn't speak to one sister or the other, indicating that she doesn't have any communication with either sister. "Either" is the correct answer because it signifies a choice between two options, in this case, the two sisters.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    It's all right, we ……… hurry. We have plenty of time.

    • Mustn’t

    • May not

    • Can’t

    • Needn’t

    Correct Answer
    A. Needn’t
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "needn't". In this sentence, the speaker is reassuring someone that there is no need to hurry because they have plenty of time.
