2. Transform the next sentence from the American form of expressing possession to the British way:"Do they have a goldfish?"

Explanation

The correct answer is "Have they got a goldfish?, have they got a goldfish?". This is the correct transformation from the American form of expressing possession to the British way. In British English, "have they got" is used instead of "do they have" to indicate possession. The sentence is correctly transformed by replacing "do they have" with "have they got".

Submit
3. Unscramble the words to form a sentence: -can't / I / without / information / report / the / the / complete /. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "I can't complete the report without the information." This sentence is formed by unscrambling the given words in the correct order.

Submit
4. Transform the next sentence from the British form of expressing possession to the American way:"She hasn't got a cat."

Explanation

The correct answer is "She doesn't have a cat." The British form of expressing possession, "She hasn't got a cat," is transformed to the American way by using the phrase "doesn't have" instead of "hasn't got."

Submit
5. Unscramble the words to form a sentence: - Saturdays / Joe  / like / doesn't/ getting / early / up / on /. 

Explanation

The words "Saturdays," "Joe," "like," "doesn't," "getting," "early," "up," and "on" can be unscrambled to form the sentence "Joe doesn't like getting up early on Saturdays."

Submit
6. Transform the next sentence from the British form of expressing possession to the American way:"Has Jack got a pet?"

Explanation

The correct answer is "Does Jack have a pet?, does Jack have a pet?" The question is asking for the sentence to be transformed from the British form of expressing possession to the American way. In American English, the word "got" is typically omitted when expressing possession, so it is replaced with "have". Therefore, the sentence "Has Jack got a pet?" is transformed into "Does Jack have a pet?"

Submit
7. Transform the next sentence from the American form of expressing possession to the British way:"The sisters have great teachers."

Explanation

The correct answer is "The sisters have got great teachers." This is the correct transformation from the American form of expressing possession to the British way. In British English, it is common to use the phrase "have got" to express possession, whereas in American English, it is more common to simply say "have." Therefore, the sentence is transformed by adding "got" after "have" to align with British English usage.

Submit
8. Transform the next sentence from the British form of expressing possession to the American way:"I've got a nice room."

Explanation

The correct answer is "I have a nice room." The British form of expressing possession is "I've got," while the American way is simply "I have." Therefore, to transform the sentence from British to American, we remove the word "got" and use "I have" instead. The second answer, "i have a nice room," is incorrect because it does not capitalize the pronoun "I."

Submit
9. Complete the sentence with the correct Gerund Phrase: Most of the time, __________________________.

Explanation

The correct gerund phrase that completes the sentence is "swimming at the beach is safe." The gerund phrase "swimming at the beach" functions as the subject of the sentence and expresses the action of swimming. The phrase is followed by the verb "is" and the adjective "safe," indicating that the act of swimming at the beach is considered to be safe most of the time.

Submit
10. Complete the sentence with the correct Gerund Phrase: My job is ___________________________________ at the hotel. 

Explanation

The correct gerund phrase to complete the sentence is "making reservations for overnight guests." This phrase functions as the subject complement in the sentence, explaining the nature of the job. The gerund "making" is used to show the ongoing action of making reservations, and "for overnight guests" specifies the purpose or the recipients of the reservations.

Submit
11. Complete the sentence with the correct Prepositional Phrase: Who says you can go ___________________ in eighty days?

Explanation

The correct answer is "around the world" because it fits grammatically and contextually with the sentence. The sentence is asking who gave permission or said that someone can travel around the world in eighty days. The prepositional phrase "around the world" indicates the location or extent of the travel, making it the most appropriate choice.
