Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Use the correct verb form -  The cat sat lazily on the windowsill, _______ (observe) the birds flying in the garden.

    Explanation
    This question tests the student's understanding of participles. "Observing" functions as a present participle, acting as an adjective to describe the cat while also conveying an action. Sixth graders need to identify the need for a word that simultaneously describes and shows action, making this a challenging question.

    Correct Answer
    A. Myself

    No one knows how many polar bears (there are/there were) 100years ago, but (there are/there were) only 20,000 left today.

    • A.

      There were/ there are

    • B.

      There are/ there were

    Correct Answer
    A. There were/ there are
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "there were/ there are". This is because the sentence is referring to two different time periods - 100 years ago and the present day. The phrase "there were" is used to indicate the past, while "there are" is used to indicate the present. Therefore, the sentence should be structured as "there were" to refer to the past number of polar bears and "there are" to refer to the current number.
