Questions and Answers

1.

I _____ (be) a student.
- A.
  
  Are
- B.
  
  Is
- C.
  
  Am
Correct Answer
C. Am

Explanation
The correct answer is "am" because the subject "I" is a singular pronoun, and the verb "be" should agree with the subject in number. In this case, "am" is the correct form of the verb "be" to use with the singular subject "I".

My father __________ excuses when I feel like going to the cinema.
- A.
  
  Make always
- B.
  
  Always make
- C.
  
  Always makes
Correct Answer
C. Always makes

Explanation
The correct answer is "always makes". In this sentence, the subject "my father" is singular, so the verb should also be singular. Therefore, "makes" is the correct form of the verb to match with "my father". The word "always" is an adverb that describes the frequency of the action, but it does not affect the verb form.

- C.
  
  Not is

A. Isn't

Explanation
The correct answer is "isn't." This is the contraction of "is not," which is used to negate the statement. In this sentence, the subject "she" is being described as not being six years old.

The flowers _______________ (be, normally) watered by Bob ....
- A.
  
  Are normally
- B.
  
  Normally are
- C.
  
  Normally is
Correct Answer
A. Are normally

Explanation
The correct answer is "are normally" because it follows the subject-verb agreement rule. In this sentence, "flowers" is the subject, which is plural, so the verb "are" should be used. Additionally, "normally" is an adverb that describes how the flowers are watered, so it should come after the verb "are".

C. Don't know

Explanation
The correct answer is "don't know". In this sentence, the subject "I" is followed by the verb "don't know" which is the correct form of the verb "know" in the negative form. The sentence is expressing the speaker's lack of knowledge or understanding about something.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False

Explanation
The statement "I was a teacher now" is grammatically incorrect. The word "now" suggests that the person is currently a teacher, but the use of the past tense "was" contradicts that. Therefore, the correct answer is False.
