The word "any" is the correct answer because it is used in negative sentences to indicate the absence or lack of something. In this case, it is used to indicate that there are no French students in the school. The other options, "some," "much," and "little," do not convey the same meaning and would not be appropriate in this context.

The correct answer is "Did." In this question, the verb "have" is being used in the past tense to ask about someone's vacation last week. The correct form of the verb to use in this case is "did," which is the past tense form of the auxiliary verb "do."

The correct answer is "shouldn't." This is because smoking is generally not allowed in classrooms due to health and safety reasons. The word "shouldn't" implies a recommendation or advice against smoking in the classroom.

The word "ago" is the correct answer because it indicates a past time that is three weeks before the present. It implies that the bad fire occurred three weeks in the past.

The question is asking about the activity that "she" is currently engaged in. The correct answer "is she doing" indicates that the person is inquiring about the ongoing action of the person.

The correct answer is "don't have" because the sentence is in the present simple tense and the subject is "I". In the present simple, we use "don't" or "doesn't" to negate the verb. Since "I" is the subject, we use "don't" to indicate that the speaker does not possess a sister.

The speaker is expressing their difficulty in comprehending what the other person is saying. They politely ask the person to speak more slowly because they currently do not understand.

This question is using the tag question construction, which is a way of seeking confirmation or agreement. In this case, the main part of the sentence is "John's coming to see you." The tag question that follows is "isn't he?" This tag question is used because the main part of the sentence is in the present tense ("John's coming"), so the tag question also needs to be in the present tense. The correct answer is "isn't he" because it matches the present tense of the main part of the sentence.

The word "well" is the correct answer because it is an adverb that describes the action of singing. In this context, it means that the girlfriend sings in a skillful or satisfactory manner. "Good" is an adjective and cannot modify the verb "sing" directly. "Goodly" is an archaic adverb that is rarely used in modern English. "Badly" would be the opposite of what is implied in the sentence, as it means singing in a poor or unsatisfactory manner.

The given sentence is comparing Chinese food to Korean food and stating that Korean food is superior. The word "better" is the correct answer as it is the comparative form of the adjective "good." It indicates that Korean food is of higher quality or more desirable than Chinese food.

The question is asking for a description of someone, and the response "Well, he's tall, dark and handsome" is providing that description. The phrase "is he like" is the most appropriate completion for the question because it is asking for a comparison or similarity between the person in question and someone else.

The correct answer is "going". The verb "suggested" requires a gerund or an infinitive form of the verb as its complement. In this case, the gerund form "going" is the correct choice. Therefore, the sentence should be "He suggested going to Jeju on Saturday."

The correct answer is "closing" because it is the present participle form of the verb "to close" and it correctly completes the sentence structure. In this sentence, the phrase "Would you mind" is followed by a verb in its -ing form, which indicates an action that is currently happening or will happen in the future. Therefore, "closing" is the most appropriate choice to express the action of closing the window.

The correct answer is "you met" because the phrase "she's the girl" indicates that the speaker is referring to a specific girl. The verb "met" is the past tense of "meet" and is the appropriate choice to describe a past action of meeting someone.

The correct answer is "her" because the preposition "to" is used to indicate the recipient of the diamond ring. Therefore, "her" is the correct pronoun to use in this context.

The correct answer is "had to stand." This is because the phrase "had to" indicates a necessity or obligation, in this case, to stand. The other options are grammatically incorrect or do not convey the same meaning.

The correct answer is "will have finished" because the phrase "by the end of the month" indicates a future point in time. The use of "will" suggests a future action, and "have finished" is in the future perfect tense, indicating that the course will be completed before the end of the month.

The correct answer is "Although" because it indicates a contrast or contradiction between two ideas. In this case, it suggests that even though the person didn't study very hard, they still managed to pass the exams.

The correct answer is "would rather not." This phrase is commonly used to express a preference or desire to avoid a particular action or situation. In this context, it suggests that many students of English prefer not to take tests. The use of "would rather not to" is incorrect because "to" should not be used after "rather not." "Not mind" is also incorrect as it does not convey the same level of preference or desire to avoid as "would rather not."

The correct answer is "yours" because the question is asking for the respondent's name. In this case, "yours" refers to the name belonging to the person being asked.

The correct answer is "do I". This is because the sentence is in the present simple tense and uses the auxiliary verb "do" to form the question. The subject "you" is followed by the verb "come", and in order to make a question, the auxiliary verb "do" is used before the subject "I". Therefore, the correct formation of the question is "do I".

The word "since" is the correct answer because it indicates that the person has been learning English starting from the time they were 10 years old and continuing until the present. "Since" is used to express a point in time in the past from which an action or situation has been ongoing.

The correct answer is "it rains" because the sentence is in the present tense and the verb "stay" should be followed by a present tense verb.

The correct answer is "was having". This is because the sentence is describing an action that was happening in the past. The use of "was having" indicates that the action of eating breakfast was ongoing when the phone rang.

The correct answer is "do expect". In this sentence, the verb "expect" is used in the present tense to indicate a general expectation or requirement. The auxiliary verb "do" is added before "expect" to form the correct tense. Therefore, the sentence should be "In this class we do expect you to work hard."

The correct answer is "have been waiting". This is because the question is asking about the reason for being late, which implies a continuous action in the past. "Have been waiting" is the present perfect continuous tense, indicating that the person has been waiting for a long time leading up to the present moment.

The correct answer is "haven't had." This is because the sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is used to talk about actions or events that started in the past and continue up to the present. The phrase "haven't had" indicates that the person has not had anything to eat from yesterday until now.

The correct answer is "had lost". This is because the sentence is referring to a past event where the person lost the address. The past perfect tense "had lost" indicates that the action of losing the address occurred before the time being referred to in the sentence.

The correct answer is "has been stolen". This is because the sentence is referring to a specific amount of money ($750 million) that has been stolen in bank robberies around the world so far this year. The use of "has been stolen" indicates that the stealing of the money is an ongoing action that has occurred in the past and is still happening in the present.

The correct answer is "would stop." This is because the sentence is in the conditional form, expressing a hypothetical situation. "Would" is used to indicate a hypothetical action or decision in the present or future.
