Explanation

The given answer "Wow! How embarrassing." is the correct explanation for the situation described in the question. The person initially thought they saw their friend in the restaurant and went to sit with her, but after talking for a minute, they realized that she wasn't their friend. This realization would likely be embarrassing for the person as they made a mistake in recognizing someone they thought they knew.

Submit
8. The boy was climbing a tree when he fell down.

Explanation

The correct answer is "When he fell down, the boy was climbing a tree." This answer correctly rearranges the sentence to indicate that the boy was in the process of climbing a tree when he fell down. The phrase "when he fell down" is placed at the beginning of the sentence to emphasize the cause and effect relationship between the two actions.

Submit
9. A: I burned myself this morning.B: _________________ on the stove?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Were you cooking something, were you cooking something." This answer is appropriate because it is a question that seeks clarification about the activity of cooking. It is a logical response to A's statement of burning themselves, as it suggests that the burn may have occurred while cooking something on the stove. The repetition of the question adds emphasis and reinforces the inquiry.

Submit

Explanation

B burned themselves while making breakfast, which caused the injury to their hand.

Submit
11. I _________ (hurt) my arm yesterday.

Explanation

The correct answer is "hurt, Hurt" because the verb "hurt" is used in both the past simple and past participle forms to indicate an injury to the arm that occurred yesterday. The lowercase "hurt" represents the past simple form, while the capitalized "Hurt" represents the past participle form.

Submit
12. A: Did you go out to dinner for your anniversary?B: No, we made dinner __________________.

Explanation

B states that they did not go out to dinner for their anniversary, but instead made dinner themselves. This suggests that B and possibly A prepared and cooked a meal at home to celebrate their anniversary, rather than going to a restaurant. The word "ourselves" indicates that B and possibly A were directly involved in the process of making the dinner.

Submit
13. I _________ (look) for something in the cabinets of the kitchen.

Explanation

The correct answer is "was looking" and "Was looking". Both options use the past continuous tense to describe an ongoing action in the past. This tense is used when we want to emphasize that the action was happening at a specific point in the past. In this case, the person is describing their past activity of searching for something in the kitchen cabinets.

Submit
14. A: Did Jeff travel to England by ___________________?B: No, he went with his parents.

Explanation

The question is asking whether Jeff traveled to England by himself. The answer "himself" indicates that Jeff did indeed travel alone. However, the response from person B contradicts this by stating that Jeff went with his parents. Therefore, the correct answer is not "himself" as it does not align with the information given in the conversation.

Submit
15. Last Sunday, Lee __________ (drive) in the country, and

Explanation

The correct answer is "was driving" because the sentence is describing an action that was happening in the past. The past continuous tense "was driving" is used to indicate that Lee was in the process of driving at that specific time. "Was driving" is also a valid answer because it is the same tense and conveys the same meaning.

Explanation
