The correct answer is "a". In this sentence, the speaker is referring to their occupation as a pilot.

Submit
9. Do you like the red _____ ?

Explanation

The word "one" is the correct answer because it is the most appropriate choice to complete the sentence. The sentence is asking for the respondent's preference towards a red object, and "one" is commonly used to refer to a specific object or thing. The word "it" would not be suitable as it is a pronoun used to refer to something previously mentioned. Similarly, "that" is used to point out or identify something specific, but it does not fit well in the context of the sentence.

Submit
10. I’ve never met an actor _____ .

Explanation

The correct answer is "before". This is because the sentence is stating that the person has never met an actor in the past. "Before" indicates that the person has not had any prior encounters with actors.

Submit
11. Have you _____  been on a winter sports holiday?

Explanation

The word "ever" is the correct answer because it is used to ask about experiences in someone's entire life. In this question, it is asking if the person has ever been on a winter sports holiday at any point in their life. The word "always" is incorrect because it implies a continuous action, which does not fit the context of the question. The word "soon" is also incorrect because it refers to a future event, which is not what the question is asking about.

Submit
12. I can’t _____  another language.

The correct answer is "speak". This is because the verb "speak" is used to express the ability or inability to communicate in a particular language. In this sentence, the word "can't" indicates the inability to speak another language.

Submit
13.  We _____  live in a flat.

Explanation

The correct answer is "don't". This is because the word "we" is a plural pronoun, and when using the present tense in negative form, we use "don't" with plural subjects.

15. Everybody _____  wear a seat belt in the car.

Explanation

The word "must" is used to express a strong obligation or necessity. In this context, it is necessary for everybody to wear a seat belt in the car. Therefore, "must" is the correct answer. "Mustn't" means it is prohibited to wear a seat belt, which is incorrect. "Don't have to" and "doesn't have to" indicate that wearing a seat belt is optional, which is also incorrect.

Submit

Submit
20. They are going _____  in America next month.

Explanation

The correct answer is "to be". This is because the sentence is referring to a future action or event that will happen next month. In this case, "going to be" is the correct construction to indicate a future plan or arrangement.

Submit
21. Peter _____  at seven o’clock.

Explanation

The question is asking for the correct verb to complete the sentence. The phrase "at seven o'clock" suggests a specific time, indicating that Peter performs the action of getting up at that time.

Explanation

The correct answer is 'm sitting. This is because the sentence is describing the current action of the speaker, indicating that they are currently in the act of sitting in an armchair. The contraction "I'm" is the shortened form of "I am," which is the correct verb form to use in this context.

Explanation

The correct answer is "doesn't". This is because the word "doesn't" is the contraction of "does not", which is used in the third person singular form of the verb. In this sentence, the subject is "he" which is a third person singular pronoun, so we use "doesn't" to indicate that he does not know how to spell it.

Explanation

The correct answer is "any". This is because the sentence is expressing a lack of butter, and "any" is used to indicate the absence of something.

Submit
28. Have you got a pen? Yes, I _____ .

Explanation

The question is asking if the person has a pen. The correct answer is "have" because it is the appropriate verb to use in this context. "Am" is a form of the verb "to be" and does not fit grammatically. "Got" is the past tense of "get" and does not convey the present possession of a pen.

Submit
