2. Don't ask me to receive telephone calls. It is your ..... (Select one)

Explanation

The correct answer is "responsibility". This is because the sentence is discussing the speaker's request for the listener to not ask them to receive telephone calls. The word "responsibility" fits in this context as it implies that the speaker is indicating that it is the listener's duty or obligation to not ask them to receive phone calls.

Submit
3. Hussein drinks .............. tea. (Select one)

Explanation

The correct answer is "a lot of". This is because "a lot of" is used to indicate a large quantity or amount, which is suitable for describing how much tea Hussein drinks.

Submit
4. Those sheep ....... fat. (Select one)

Explanation

The correct answer is "are" because "sheep" is a plural noun, and the verb should agree with the subject in number. In this case, "are" is the correct form of the verb to match the plural noun "sheep."

Submit
5. He was taken to hospital because his injury was ........ (Select two)

Explanation

The person was taken to the hospital because his injury was serious and dangerous. This suggests that the injury was severe and potentially life-threatening, requiring immediate medical attention. The terms "simple," "exciting," and "exhausting" do not accurately describe the severity or urgency of the injury.

Submit
6. He has lost everything. Now, he is ....... (Select one)

Explanation

The statement "He has lost everything" suggests that the person is in a state of extreme unhappiness and suffering. Therefore, the appropriate word to describe his current state would be "miserable".

Submit
7. Everyone has their .............. that they can do in their spare time. (Select two)

Explanation

The question asks for two things that individuals can do in their spare time. "Interests" and "hobbies" are both activities that people engage in during their free time. These activities are typically done for enjoyment, personal satisfaction, or to pursue a particular passion or curiosity. "Jobs," "works," and "mistakes" are not typically associated with spare time activities and do not fit the context of the question.

Submit
8. I couldn't eat this meal because it was ........... (Select two)

Explanation

The correct answer is awful and nasty because these words indicate that the meal was unpleasant or of poor quality.

Submit
9. Fruit sellers should ........ rotten foods from good ones. (Select one)

Explanation

Fruit sellers should isolate rotten foods from good ones in order to maintain the quality and freshness of their products. By separating the rotten fruits from the good ones, they can prevent the spread of decay and ensure that customers receive only the best quality produce. This practice is essential for maintaining customer satisfaction and promoting a positive reputation for the fruit seller.

Submit
10. When the criminal was arrested  he .............all his previous crimes. (Select two)

Explanation

The correct answer is "admitted" and "confessed" because both words imply the act of acknowledging or owning up to something. When a criminal is arrested, they may choose to admit or confess to their previous crimes, meaning they accept responsibility and acknowledge their wrongdoing. The other options, "adapted," "contained," and "advanced," do not relate to the act of acknowledging or confessing to a crime.

Submit
11. The ......... of your good education will appear in your behavior. (Select one)

Explanation

The word "effect" is the correct answer because it refers to the result or impact that your good education has on your behavior. It suggests that a good education has a positive influence on how you behave or conduct yourself.

Submit
12. I was made ........ a fine for not wearing the seat belt. (Select one)

Explanation

The correct answer is "to pay" because it follows the structure "be made + infinitive" which means that someone was instructed or forced to do something. In this case, the person was made to pay a fine for not wearing the seat belt.

Submit
13.  she ......... her success to her parents. (Select one)

Explanation

The word "owes" is the correct answer because it means to attribute or give credit to someone for something. In this context, the sentence suggests that the person attributes their success to their parents, meaning they believe their parents played a significant role in their achievements.

Submit
14. All Egyptians know that water ........... has become a must. (Select one)

Explanation

The sentence states that water has become a must for all Egyptians. In this context, the word "conservation" fits best as it implies the act of protecting and preserving water resources. This suggests that Egyptians are aware of the importance of using water wisely and not wasting it. The other options, such as "wasting," "donating," and "support," do not convey the same idea of actively preserving water resources.

Submit
15. The desert is the .......... of a lot of animals. (Select one)

Explanation

The desert is the home of a lot of animals.

Submit
16. Mazen ..................... chess all day yesterday. (Select one)

Explanation

The correct answer is "was playing". This is because the sentence is referring to an action that was happening in the past. The use of "was" indicates the past continuous tense, which is used to describe an ongoing action in the past. Therefore, Mazen was playing chess all day yesterday.

Submit
17. My uncle often wears cool clothes. The synonyms of cool in this sentence are .......... (Select two)

Explanation

The synonyms of "cool" in this sentence are "fashionable" and "stylish" because they both describe someone who wears trendy and attractive clothing.

Submit

Explanation

Exercise helps you to keep fit by improving your physical health and maintaining a healthy weight. It also helps you to be fit by increasing your stamina, strength, and flexibility. Regular exercise can improve your overall well-being and reduce the risk of various health conditions.

Submit
19. ..................... describe something unusual ,exciting and often from or in another country. (Select one)

Explanation

An explanation for the correct answer "exotic" is that it refers to something that is unusual, exciting, and often from or in another country. It suggests that the thing being described is unique, unfamiliar, and has a sense of adventure or intrigue associated with it. The term "exotic" is commonly used to describe foreign cultures, cuisines, landscapes, or experiences that are different from one's own, adding a sense of fascination and allure.

Submit
20. He refused to admit stealing the bank. The antonyms of "admit" are ...... (Select two)

Explanation

The word "admit" means to acknowledge or confess to something. The antonyms of "admit" would be words that mean the opposite, which are "deny" and "conceal". "Deny" means to refuse to acknowledge or accept something, while "conceal" means to hide or keep something secret. Therefore, the correct answer is "deny, conceal".

Submit
21. The teacher wrote the names of the winning students on the ...... (Select two)

Explanation

The teacher wrote the names of the winning students on the noticeboard.

Submit
22. The doctor asked me to monitor my grandfather because of his illness. "Monitor" can be replaced by ...... (Select two)

Explanation

The word "monitor" in this context means to keep a close watch or observation on someone. Therefore, it can be replaced by "observe" and "watch" as both words convey the same meaning of paying attention to someone's condition or behavior.

Submit
23.  I am looking forward .................... the new film. (Select two)

Explanation

The correct answer is "to see" because the phrase "looking forward" is followed by a verb, and the verb form used after "looking forward" is the infinitive form. In this case, "to see" is the correct infinitive form of the verb "see." The other options, "to be seen," "to seeing," and "seeing" are not the correct infinitive forms and do not fit grammatically in the sentence.

Submit
24. He is a plump boy. The opposite of plump are ... (Select two)

Explanation

The word "plump" describes someone who is slightly overweight or chubby. The opposite of this would be someone who is thin or slender, as they would have a lower body fat percentage. Therefore, the correct answers are "thin" and "slender".

Submit
25. A / An ......... is a group of letters added to the beginning of a word to form a new word. (Select one)

Explanation

A prefix is a group of letters added to the beginning of a word to form a new word. It is the opposite of a suffix, which is added to the end of a word. Prefixes can change the meaning or the grammatical function of a word. For example, adding the prefix "un-" to the word "happy" creates the word "unhappy," which means not happy.

Submit
26. The only way to ........... fear is to face it. (Select one)

Explanation

Facing fear is the only effective way to overcome it. Avoiding fear may provide temporary relief, but it does not address the root cause or help in building resilience. Making fear implies creating fear, which is not a solution. Contacting fear does not make sense in this context. Therefore, the correct answer is "conquer," as it suggests the act of confronting and overcoming fear.

Submit
27. Muhammad used to be a slow learner but after a lot of practice, now he ........... (Select one)

Explanation

The word "isn't" is the correct answer because it indicates that Muhammad is currently not a slow learner. The other options, "doesn't," "didn't," and "haven't," all imply that Muhammad is still a slow learner, which contradicts the statement in the question.

Submit
28. I thanked my teacher when she ............. me to participate  in the school competition. (Select two that can fit here)

Explanation

The words "allowed" and "permitted" both fit in the given sentence because they both convey the idea that the teacher gave permission or consent for the speaker to participate in the school competition. The other options, such as "let," "borrowed," and "wanted," do not convey the same meaning and are therefore not suitable in this context.

Submit
29.  I wouldn't have understood anything unless she had ................ me the truth. (Select two)

Explanation

The correct answer is "Informed" and "told". These two options are correct because they both convey the idea of someone sharing information or the truth with the speaker. Both "informed" and "told" indicate that the person provided the necessary information for the speaker to understand something.

Submit
30. My father always tells me ............ valuable advice. (Select one)

Explanation

The correct answer is "no article" because the word "valuable" is an adjective that describes the noun "advice." When an adjective is used to describe a noun in a general sense, we do not use an article before the noun. In this case, "valuable advice" refers to advice that is generally valuable, without specifying any particular advice.
