Explanation

The word "times" is the correct answer because it is the most appropriate word to use when asking about the frequency of being late.

However, "times" is commonly used to inquire about the number of occasions or instances, making it the most suitable option in this context.

Explanation

The word "hand" is the correct answer because when someone asks for help with an assignment, they typically need assistance with tasks that involve writing, typing, or organizing information. The hand is the body part that is most commonly used for these activities, making it the most suitable option for providing the requested help.

Submit
12. My brother _____ in Tokyo.

Explanation

The correct answer is "works" because it agrees with the subject "brother" and the present simple tense. When using the present simple tense with third-person singular subjects (he, she, it), we add an -s to the base form of the verb. Therefore, "works" is the correct form in this sentence.

Submit
13. Where _____?

Explanation

The correct answer is "does Diana live." This is the correct question form for asking about Diana's place of residence. The auxiliary verb "does" is used to form questions in the present simple tense when the subject is a third person singular pronoun, like "Diana." The main verb "live" follows the auxiliary verb "does" in its base form without the -s ending.

Submit
14. I ­_____ ice-cream.

Explanation

The correct answer is "don't like" because it follows the correct grammatical structure for expressing a negative preference. The verb "like" is negated by the auxiliary verb "don't" to indicate that the subject "I" does not have a liking for ice-cream.

Submit
15. _____ go shopping tomorrow?

Explanation

Marie's cleverness is highlighted by her ability to discuss any subject that arises.

This suggests that Marie is intelligent and adaptable, making her a valuable conversationalist.

Submit
18. What's _____ name?

Explanation

The correct answer is "her". This is because the question is asking for the name of a person, and "her" is the possessive form of the pronoun "she". It is used to indicate that the name belongs to the person being referred to.

Submit

Explanation

The correct answer is "started" because the sentence is referring to the beginning of the person's first job, and "started" is the most appropriate verb to indicate the beginning of an action or process.

Submit
20. She was in _____ when she heard the tragic news.

Explanation

The word "tears" is the correct answer because it fits grammatically in the sentence and conveys the appropriate emotion. When someone hears tragic news, it is common to cry, and tears are a physical manifestation of that emotion.

The correct answer is "owns." The question is asking about the subject who possesses the car, and "owns" is the correct verb form for the third person singular pronoun "he."

Submit
22. I was wondering _____ tell me when the next train to New York leaves?

The correct answer is "go" because the sentence is in the present tense and "go" is the base form of the verb, which is used after the conjunction "before."

Submit
24. She likes _____ to fashionable restaurants.

Explanation

The correct answer is "going". In this sentence, the verb "likes" is followed by a gerund, which is a verb form ending in -ing that functions as a noun. Therefore, the correct form is "going" as it is the gerund form of the verb "go". The other options ("to going", "go", "is going") do not correctly form a gerund and would not fit grammatically in the sentence.

Submit
25. At university, it's very important to ________ your essays on time.

Explanation

In this context, "hand in" means to submit or turn in your essays on time. It implies the act of physically giving your essays to the appropriate person or place. The phrase "hand up" does not make sense in this context. "Hand over" suggests giving something to someone else, but it does not specifically imply submission. "Hand off" means to pass something to another person, but it does not convey the idea of submitting an assignment.

Submit
26. 'My purse has been stolen!'       'Really? _____________ . '

Explanation

"Oh dear" is an appropriate response in this situation because it expresses sympathy or concern for the person who had their purse stolen. It acknowledges the seriousness of the situation and shows empathy towards the person's loss.

Submit
27. I like your new hairstyle. Where _____?

Explanation

The correct answer is "did you have it cut" because it is asking about the action of getting the hairstyle done by someone else.

Submit
28. Paul tells me Harry's dating Sally, _____ I find hard to believe.

Explanation

The correct answer is "which". In this sentence, "which" is used as a relative pronoun to introduce a relative clause that provides additional information about Harry dating Sally. The phrase "I find hard to believe" is the main clause, and "which" connects the main clause to the relative clause.

Explanation

The correct answer is "lend". The speaker is asking someone to temporarily give them the book for a couple of days. This implies that the speaker wants to borrow the book from the person, and the act of lending means that the person will allow the speaker to use the book for a specific period of time.

Submit
30. Greg is _____ a lot of time in the library these days.

Explanation

The correct answer is "spending" because it implies that Greg is using or utilizing a significant amount of time in the library. The word "spending" suggests that Greg is actively dedicating his time to being in the library, which aligns with the context of the sentence.

Submit
31. Do you _____ a uniform at your school?

Explanation

The question is asking about whether or not the person wears a uniform at their school. Out of the given options, "wear" is the most appropriate verb to indicate the act of putting on clothing, specifically a uniform.

Therefore, the correct answer is "wear".

Submit

Explanation

A bill is typically received and paid for on a regular basis, making it the correct answer in this context.
