Explanation

The correct answer is B because “maturing” works as a participle, continuing the idea of growth within the sentence. It connects smoothly with the earlier clause without needing additional words.

Using “maturing” ensures grammatical flow and clearly describes the process of adapting during a period of cultural transition.

Explanation

The correct answer is A because “was” agrees with the singular subject “feature.” Subject-verb agreement is essential for grammatical accuracy. Other options are either plural or incorrectly structured. Using “was” ensures the sentence clearly identifies one defining characteristic of mining towns, maintaining both clarity and correctness in describing a singular aspect.

Submit

Explanation

The correct answer is B because “involved” is the correct past participle used after “are.” The sentence requires a passive construction to describe abilities included in performance.

Submit

6. Manatees ______ from land animals over fifty million years ago.

Explanation

The correct answer is B because “evolved” correctly uses simple past tense to describe a completed historical process. The sentence includes a specific time reference, requiring past tense.

Explanation

The correct answer is B because “alike” is the correct adjective used to show similarity. “Like” is often used as a preposition and does not fit grammatically here.

Explanation

The correct answer is A because “correct completion” follows proper adjective-noun order in English. Adjectives must come before the nouns they describe.

This structure ensures clarity and grammatical correctness, making the sentence easy to understand when describing instructions related to completing a form properly.

Submit

9. Whales ______ sounds that vary across time and distance.

Explanation

The correct answer is B because “use” correctly matches the plural subject “whales.” Subject-verb agreement requires plural subjects to take base verb forms without “s.” Other options are incorrect verb forms. Using “use” ensures grammatical accuracy and clearly describes how whales produce sounds, maintaining clarity and proper structure in the sentence.

Submit
