    Correct Answer
    A. One
    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.

    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    I can’t _____  another language.

    • Speaking

    • Speak

    • To speak

    Correct Answer

    • Must

    • Mustn't

    • Don't have to

    • Doesn't have to

    Correct Answer
    A. Must
    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.

    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.

    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.
