3. There are ________ around to start a cricket team

Explanation

The correct answer is "enough young boys" because it follows the correct adjective order. In English, we usually use adjectives in a specific order: opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, and purpose. In this case, "enough" describes the quantity, and "young" describes the age of the boys. Therefore, "enough young boys" is the correct phrase.

Submit

Explanation

The word "seldom" means rarely or not often. Therefore, the correct answer suggests that they rarely go to the cinema.

Submit
5. I think _______ taxi driver.

Explanation

The correct answer is "she's a". This answer suggests that the person being referred to is a taxi driver. The contraction "she's" is short for "she is" and the word "a" indicates that the person is a taxi driver.

Submit
6. Did you _______ anywhere interesting last weekend?

Explanation

The question is asking about an action that was done in the past, specifically last weekend. The correct answer is "go" because it is the simple past tense form of the verb "go." This form is used to describe an action that happened and was completed in the past.

Submit
7. The financial director _________ for almost an hour.

Explanation

The correct answer is "kept us waiting" because it is the correct phrasal verb to use in this context. "Kept us to wait" and "made us to wait" are grammatically incorrect. "Made us waiting" is also incorrect as "made" should be followed by an infinitive verb. Therefore, "kept us waiting" is the only grammatically correct option that conveys the intended meaning of the sentence.

Submit
8. Who was the woman _______ ?

Explanation

The correct answer is "that you were speaking to." This answer correctly completes the question by using the relative pronoun "that" followed by the clause "you were speaking to." This construction indicates that the woman being referred to is the one with whom the person was having a conversation.

Submit
9. Magda knows a lot about badgers, but she _______ a live one.

Explanation

The correct answer is "hasn't ever seen." This is because the sentence is in the present perfect tense, indicating an action that started in the past and continues up until the present. The word "hasn't" is the contraction of "has not," which is used with the present perfect tense. The verb "seen" is the past participle form of "see," which is the correct verb form to use in this tense.

Submit
10. She knows that she _________ to pay now.

Explanation

The correct answer is "ought". "Ought" is used to express a moral or logical obligation, suggesting that something is the right thing to do. In this context, the sentence implies that the person is aware that they have a responsibility or duty to pay now.

Submit
11. I'll return the newspaper when I _______ through it.

Explanation

The correct answer is "have looked" because the phrase "when I have looked through it" indicates that the action of looking through the newspaper will be completed before the return of the newspaper. The use of the present perfect tense ("have looked") suggests that the action of looking through the newspaper is expected to happen in the future, but will be completed before a specific point in time (the return of the newspaper).

Submit
12. She didn't want the job, _________ .

Explanation

The correct answer is "however well paid it was". This phrase is used to show contrast or opposition to the first part of the sentence. It indicates that despite the job being well paid, the person still did not want it.
