      Is

    • D.

      Are

    Correct Answer
    A. Do

    • D.

      Are

    The correct answer is "do" because it is the correct verb to use when asking about the actions or activities of multiple people, such as "What do your mother and sister do?"

    • C.

      Is

    • D.

      Are

    Correct Answer
    C. Is
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "is" because the question is asking about the subject's birthday, which is a singular event or occasion. Therefore, the correct form of the verb to use is "is" to match the singular subject.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    He _____ like this color.

      Not

    • B.

      Don't

    • C.

      Does

    • D.

      Doesn't

    Correct Answer
    D. Doesn't
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "doesn't". In this sentence, the subject "he" is singular, so we use the third person singular form of the verb "do", which is "does". When we use "doesn't" before a verb, it indicates that the subject does not like the color.

    Rate this question:

    • D.

      Was

    Correct Answer
    B. Are
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Are" because the sentence is asking about the plural subject "they," indicating that the verb should also be in the plural form.
