    Correct Answer
    A. From
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "from." This is because the sentence is indicating the origin or nationality of the subject, which is "We."

    • You are

    • Do you

    • You do

    Correct Answer
    A. Are you
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "are you". This is because the question is asking about the reason for someone's crying, and in English, we typically use the verb "to be" (in this case, "are") to inquire about someone's state or condition. Therefore, the correct question structure is "Why are you crying?"

    • Isn't

    • Don't

    Correct Answer
    A. Doesn't
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "doesn't". In this sentence, we are talking about Margaret and her habit of coming by bus. The word "doesn't" is the contraction of "does not" and is used with third-person singular subjects, like Margaret. Therefore, it is the appropriate choice to indicate that Margaret does not usually come by bus.

    Correct Answer
    A. Did
    Explanation
    The word "did" is the correct answer because it is used to form the past tense of the verb in the question. In this case, the question is asking for the past tense of the verb "say," so "did" is the appropriate choice.

    .....is bad for you.

    • Smoking

    • The smoking

    A. Smoking
    Explanation
    Smoking is bad for you because it is a harmful habit that causes numerous health problems. It is a well-known fact that smoking increases the risk of developing lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory issues. Additionally, smoking can also lead to other serious health conditions such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and stroke. The harmful chemicals present in cigarettes can damage the lungs and other organs, leading to a decreased quality of life and potentially fatal consequences. Therefore, it is strongly advised to avoid smoking to maintain good health.

    • Are you going

    • You will

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "are you going." This is because the question is asking about future plans for spending holidays, and the correct form to use in this context is the present continuous tense.

    • That I see

    • To see

    • Seeing

    • See

    Correct Answer
    A. I've
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "I've." This is because the phrase "never been to theater before" indicates a past experience, and "I've" is the contraction of "I have," which is used to talk about past experiences. The other options, "I'll," "I'm," and "I can," do not convey the same meaning of a past experience.

    A. Are made
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "are made." This is the correct answer because it follows the correct verb tense and subject-verb agreement. "Seiko watches" is the subject of the sentence, and since it is plural, the verb "are" should be used. Additionally, the verb "made" is in the past participle form, which is appropriate for indicating that the watches are being produced in Japan.

    • To buy

    Correct Answer

    • Do have you

    • Do you got

    • Have you got

    • Are you have

    Correct Answer
    A. Have you got
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Have you got." This is the correct question structure in English to ask about possession or availability of something.

"Are you have" uses incorrect word order.

    The correct answer is "used to." This is because "used to" is the correct phrase to indicate a past habit or state that no longer exists. In this sentence, it implies that the husband had a previous habit or state of living in Spain, but that is no longer the case.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    Where...when you met him?

    • Does he live

    • Was he live

    • Was he living
