2. The game _______ exciting.

Explanation

The correct answer is "was" because the word "game" is singular, and "was" is the past tense form of the verb "to be" used with singular subjects.

Submit
3. That ______ incredible

Explanation

The word "was" is the correct answer because it agrees with the subject "that" in terms of past tense. The sentence suggests that something in the past was incredible.

Submit
4. Those ______ pretty shoes

Explanation

The correct answer is "are" because the word "shoes" is plural, indicating that there is more than one shoe. In English grammar, plural nouns are typically paired with the verb "are" to indicate that there is more than one of the subject. Therefore, "are" is the appropriate verb to complete the sentence.

Submit
5. Sally _____ to the part every day

Explanation

The correct answer is "runs". In this sentence, we need a verb form that agrees with the subject "Sally" and indicates a habitual action. "Runs" is the correct present tense form of the verb "run" for third-person singular subjects like Sally.

Submit
6. She ______ every night

Explanation

The correct answer is "studies". This is because the word "she" is a third-person singular pronoun, and when using present simple tense with third-person singular subjects, we add an 's' to the verb. Therefore, the correct form of the verb "study" in this sentence is "studies".

Submit
7. They ______ too much

Explanation

The given correct answer is "worry". This is because the sentence is in the present tense and requires a verb that matches the subject "they". "Worry" is the correct present tense form of the verb, while "worries" is the third person singular form and does not match the subject. "Worrying" is a present participle form and "worried" is the past tense form, both of which are not appropriate for the present tense sentence.

Submit
8. The dogs _______ at strangers.

Explanation

Dogs bark at strangers. This is a grammatically correct sentence in the present tense. "Bark" is the correct verb form to use with the subject "dogs" in the present tense.

Submit
9. The cat or dog _______ in the yard

Explanation

The correct answer is "is" because when referring to a singular subject, such as "the cat or dog," the verb should also be singular. In this case, "is" is the singular form of the verb "to be" and agrees with the subject.

Submit
10. Black or white _____ your choice

Explanation

The correct answer is "is" because it agrees with the singular subject "choice."
