2. ___________(Do/Does) you like Jazz?I know there is a Jazz bar nearby!

Explanation

The correct answer is "Do" because the question is asking about the person's preference for Jazz, which is a plural subject. When asking a question about preferences or opinions, we use "do" for plural subjects and "does" for singular subjects. In this case, since "you" is a plural subject, we use "do" in the question.

Submit
3. Geroge ___________(is/am/are) out out office now, you can leave hime a message.

Explanation

The correct answer is "is". In this sentence, we are referring to Geroge being out of the office, so we need to use the third person singular form of the verb "to be", which is "is".

Submit
4. Do you __________(like) chocolate milk shake?

Explanation

The correct answer is "like" because it agrees with the subject "you" in the question. "Likes" would be incorrect because it does not match the subject. "Be like" is not a suitable option as it does not fit the structure of the question.

Submit
5. It ___________ a sunny day ! Let's go to swim!

Explanation

The correct answer is "is" because it agrees with the subject "It" in the sentence. "Is" is the correct form of the verb "to be" for singular subjects.

Submit
6. He __________(do) not want to do his homeworks

Explanation

The correct answer is "does" because when using the third person singular pronoun "he," the auxiliary verb "do" changes to "does." This follows the rule of subject-verb agreement in English grammar.

Submit
7. My parents ___________ in Japan, I'm alone in Hong Kong.

Explanation

The correct answer is "live." This is because the subject "parents" is plural, so the verb should also be plural to agree with the subject. Therefore, "live" is the correct form of the verb to use in this sentence.

Submit
8. "Macy is your sister, ___________(is/am/are) I correct Robin?" Tom said.

Explanation

The correct answer is "am" because it agrees with the subject "I" in the sentence. Tom is confirming with Robin if he is correct in stating that Macy is his sister, so Robin should respond with "am" to confirm that Tom is correct.

Submit
9. ___________ we too late to catch the bus?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Are" because the question is asking about the subject "we" which is plural. In English, when asking a question about a plural subject, we use the plural form of the verb "to be" which is "are".

Submit
10. Roger ___________ not go to my school.

Explanation

The correct answer is "does" because "Roger" is a singular third-person subject, so the verb that follows should be in the singular form "does."
