    A cat_____________(not eat) chocolate.

    Explanation
    Cats are known to be sensitive to theobromine, a compound found in chocolate, which can be toxic to them. Therefore, it is a well-known fact that cats do not eat chocolate as it is harmful to their health.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The kids in my class_____________(not go) out every day.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "don't go" because it matches the subject "kids" in the sentence, which is plural. In English grammar, when the subject is plural, we use the base form of the verb (without 's' or 'es') in the present tense. Therefore, "don't go" is the correct form to use in this sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Tamar______________(not know) Japanese.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "doesn't know" because the sentence is in the present tense and the subject "Tamar" is singular. When using the third person singular form in the present tense, we add "s" to the base form of the verb. Therefore, "doesn't know" is the correct form of the verb "to know" to match with the subject "Tamar."

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    My family____________(not go) to Africa.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "doesn't go" because the subject "my family" is singular and requires the third person singular form of the verb "to go," which is "doesn't go."

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The snake______________(not walk) because it ____________(not have) legs.

    Explanation
    The sentence is in the negative form, indicating that the snake does not walk. This is because snakes do not have legs, so they are unable to walk like other animals. Therefore, the correct answer is "doesn't walk." Additionally, the sentence also states that the snake does not have legs, further supporting the fact that it cannot walk. Hence, the correct answer is "doesn't have."
