2. Choose the correct answer.
I asked them where ____ going.

Explanation

The correct answer is "they were" because in a question, the subject and verb are inverted, so "they were" is the correct word order.

Submit
3. Choose the correct answer.
Can you remember _____?

Explanation

The correct answer is "what she said." This is because the phrase "can you remember" is followed by a question word ("what") and a verb ("said"), indicating that we are asking about the content of someone's words. Therefore, the correct form is "what she said."

Submit
4. Choose the correct answer.
Can you tell me how much ____ cost?

Explanation

The correct answer is "it will" because the question is asking for the cost of something, and "it will" is a grammatically correct way to indicate that the cost will be provided.

Submit
5. Choose the correct answer. 

Has she told you whether ____ help?

Explanation

The correct answer is "she will" because the question is asking about whether someone has told you if she will help. The word "whether" is used to introduce a question or clause indicating a doubt or choice between alternatives, and in this case, it is followed by the subject "she" and the verb "will" to form a complete sentence. Therefore, "she will" is the correct answer.

Submit
6. Choose the correct answer.
Can you explain why ____ so expensive?

Explanation

The correct answer is "it's" because it is a contraction of "it is." In the given question, "why" is asking for an explanation, and "it's" is the appropriate choice to provide that explanation.

Submit
7. Choose the correct answer.
She asked me where ____ from.

Explanation

The correct answer is "I come". This is because the question is asking about the person's place of origin, and the correct sentence structure is "subject + verb". Therefore, the correct way to answer the question is "I come".

Submit
8. Choose the correct answer.
Do you have any idea how long ____ me to do it?

Explanation

The phrase "it took" is the correct answer because it is the correct structure for expressing the duration of time in the past. The subject "it" refers to the unspecified task or action being discussed, and "took" is the past tense of the verb "take." Therefore, the sentence is asking about the length of time that "it" (the task or action) took to be completed.

Submit
9. Choose the correct answer.
I have no idea ____.

Explanation

The correct answer is "where she is" because it is the grammatically correct way to express not knowing the location of someone. "Where she's" is incorrect because it is a contraction of "where she is" and does not make sense in this context. "Where is she" is a question asking for the location of someone, rather than expressing not knowing.

Submit
10. Choose the correct answer.
Could you tell me ____ gone?

Explanation

The correct answer is "where she's." This is because the sentence is asking for the location or whereabouts of someone, and "where she's" is a contraction of "where she is," which is the appropriate phrase to use in this context.
