Submit
18. ______ she ______ soccer? - No, she ______ volley.

Explanation

The question is asking whether she plays soccer. In order to form a question with the third person singular subject "she," we need to use the auxiliary verb "does" followed by the base form of the main verb "play." Therefore, the correct question form is "Does she play soccer?" The answer to this question is "No," indicating that she does not play soccer. Instead, she plays volley. Since "she" is a third person singular subject, we use the base form of the main verb "play" without adding an "s" at the end. Therefore, the correct answer is "Does / play / plays."

Submit
19. Why ______ the people inside the room?

Explanation

The correct answer is "are" because it agrees with the plural subject "people." In English, the verb "to be" conjugates as "am" for the first person singular (I), "is" for the third person singular (he, she, it), and "are" for all other persons (we, you, they). Since "people" is a plural noun, "are" is the appropriate form of the verb to use in this sentence.

Submit
