At first, the sea was calm, so I started reading a magazine.  Suddenly, the ferry started moving violently. One man fell off his chair and a woman started crying.

    What was this woman doing at 9 o'clock last night? - ProProfs

    What was this woman doing at 9 o'clock last night?

    • She was reading a book.

    • She were reading a book.

    • She was having a shower.

    • She were having a shower.

    Correct Answer
    A. She was having a shower.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "She was having a shower." This is because the sentence is in the past continuous tense, which is used to describe an ongoing action in the past. The verb "was having" is the correct form for the pronoun "she." The other options "She were reading a book" and "She were having a shower" are grammatically incorrect as "were" is not the correct form for the pronoun "she." The option "She was reading a book" does not match the given information that she was having a shower at 9 o'clock last night.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 
    - ProProfs

    • Across the road

    • Through the road

    Correct Answer
    A. Across the road
    Explanation
    The phrase "across the road" means to go from one side of the road to the other side. It implies moving in a straight line or perpendicular direction to the road. On the other hand, the phrase "through the road" does not make sense in this context. It could imply going under or over the road, which is not the intended meaning. Therefore, the correct answer is "across the road."

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 
    Were these people running some minutes ago? - ProProfs

    Were these people running some minutes ago?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given answer is true because the question is asking if the people were running some minutes ago. Since the question is in the past tense and implies that the action of running has already occurred, it is reasonable to assume that the people were indeed running some minutes ago.

    Rate this question:

  • 29. 
    - ProProfs

    • Across the door

    • Through the door

    Correct Answer
    A. Through the door
    Explanation
    The phrase "through the door" suggests movement from one side of the door to the other. This implies that someone or something is going from one area to another by passing through the door. On the other hand, the phrase "across the door" does not convey the same sense of movement. It suggests that someone or something is positioned on the opposite side of the door, without necessarily passing through it. Therefore, "through the door" is the more appropriate and correct answer.

    Rate this question:

    Correct Answer
    A. Was my daughter playing the piano last night?
    Explanation
