    Correct Answer
    A. Speak to
    Explanation

    • Hasn't

    • Didn't

    • Wasn't

    Correct Answer
    A. Didn't

    The sentence is in the past tense, so the correct answer should also be in the past tense. "Didn't" is the past tense of "do not" or "does not," indicating that Charles did not come to the meeting.

    Rate this question:

    I don't know ..... people.

    • Many

    • Much

    • A lot

    • Few

    Correct Answer
    A. Many
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "many" because it is used to describe countable nouns in the plural form. In this case, the word "people" is a countable noun, so "many" is the appropriate choice to indicate a large number of people.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Smith went abroad last year. ..... abroad before.

    • He had never been

    • He had been never

    • He never went

    • He went never

    Correct Answer
    A. He had never been
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "He had never been." This is because the sentence is referring to Smith's past experiences of going abroad. The phrase "had never been" indicates that at no point in the past had Smith gone abroad before last year. The other options "He had been never," "He never went," and "He went never" are grammatically incorrect and do not convey the intended meaning.

    Rate this question:

  • 9.

    • Make

    • Makes

    • Do

    • Does

    Correct Answer

    The question is asking about someone's occupation or profession. The verb "do" is commonly used to inquire about someone's job or means of earning a living. Therefore, the correct answer is "do."

    • Fore

    • Gone to

    • Gone for

    • Went for

    Correct Answer
    A. Gone for
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "gone for". This is because the phrase "gone for" is used to indicate that someone has left to get or fetch something. In this case, Nuri is out because he has left to get a pint of milk.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Don't let your brothers ..... the present.

    • To see

    • Seeing

    • Seen

    • See

    Correct Answer
    A. See
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "see". In this sentence, the verb "see" is used in the base form to complete the infinitive phrase "to see". This phrase is used to express the purpose or intention of not letting your brothers do something with the present. The other options, "seeing", "seen", and "see" in different forms, do not fit grammatically in this sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    He died ..... hunger and cold.

    • For

    • By

    • Of

    • With

    Correct Answer

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    This book is ..... .

    • Belonged to Sam

    • Belong to Sam

    • Sam's

    • Of Sam

    Correct Answer
    A. Sam's
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Sam's". This is because the possessive form "Sam's" indicates that the book belongs to Sam.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Would you mind ..... the door?

    • Open

    • To open

    • Opening

    • To opening

    Correct Answer
    A. Opening
    Explanation
    The word "mind" is followed by a gerund in this sentence. A gerund is a verb form that functions as a noun, and it is created by adding "-ing" to the base form of the verb. Therefore, the correct answer is "opening," which is the gerund form of the verb "open."

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    We are not used to ..... in a cold climate.

    • Lived

    • Live

    • Living

    • Lives

    Correct Answer
    A. Living
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "living". This is because the phrase "not used to" indicates a lack of familiarity or experience with something. In this case, the speaker is not accustomed to living in a cold climate. The verb "living" is the present participle form of "live" and is used to describe ongoing actions or states. Therefore, it is the most appropriate choice in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    We could have come earlier, ..... 

    • Have we

    • Haven't we

    • Could we

    • Couldn't we

    Correct Answer
    A. Couldn't we
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "couldn't we." This is because the sentence is in the past tense and is expressing a regret or missed opportunity. The phrase "couldn't we" indicates that the speaker is suggesting that it was not possible for them to come earlier, implying that they regret not being able to do so.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    She'd rather stay at home than ..... shopping.

    • Will go

    • Going

    • To go

    • Go

    Correct Answer
    A. Go
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "go" because the sentence is expressing a preference for staying at home instead of going shopping. The verb "go" is used in its base form without any auxiliary verb or gerund form.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Yesterday we did nothing but ..... .

    • Talking

    • Talked

    • Talk

    • Had talked

    Correct Answer
    A. Talk
    Explanation
    Yesterday we did nothing but talk. This sentence implies that the speaker and possibly others engaged in a continuous or prolonged conversation throughout the day. The verb "talk" is in the base form, which is appropriate in this context to indicate the action of conversing. The other options, "talking," "talked," and "had talked," do not fit the structure or meaning of the sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 19.

    • As

    • So

    • Very

    • Enough

    Correct Answer
    A. So
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "so". In this sentence, the speaker is asking if the person will be as kind to help them with a heavy box. The word "so" is used to compare the level of kindness the person is being asked for. It implies that the speaker is hoping the person will be just as kind as they need them to be.

    Rate this question:

    A : Why didn't you attent the concert?B : I would have gone if I ..... time.

    • Have had

    • Have

    • Would have

    • Had had

    Correct Answer
    A. Had had
    Explanation
    B is expressing a hypothetical situation in the past. They are saying that if they had had time, they would have gone to the concert. The phrase "had had" is the correct form of the past perfect tense, indicating a past action that happened before another past action. In this case, the lack of time (not having time) is the past action that prevented B from attending the concert.
