    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given answer is true because person B clearly states that they are writing a book on how to cook better. This indicates that they are indeed engaged in the activity of writing a book on cooking, supporting the statement that they are doing so.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    The telephone has been ringing for almost a minute. Why doesn’t someone answer it?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement "True" suggests that the telephone has indeed been ringing for almost a minute without anyone answering it.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    It’s ten P.M. I have been studying for two hours and probably won’t finish until midnight.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement is true because the person states that it is currently 10 P.M. and they have been studying for two hours, indicating that they started studying at 8 P.M. They also mention that they probably won't finish until midnight, which means they expect to study for another two hours. Therefore, if they started at 8 P.M. and plan to study until midnight, it means they will study for a total of four hours.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Diane washes her hair every other day or so.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Diane washes her hair every other day or so, indicating that she washes her hair regularly but not necessarily on a fixed schedule. This suggests that she may wash her hair every two days or sometimes with a slight variation. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct as it aligns with the given information.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    This is Andi, my roommate. He is liking to watch television, listen to music, or go out in the evening.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is "This is Andi, my roommate. He is liking to watch television, listen to music, or go out in the evening." The correct answer is False. This is because the sentence is grammatically incorrect. The correct form would be "He likes to watch television, listen to music, or go out in the evening."

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The boys are playing soccer now. They have been playing for almost two hours. They must be getting tired.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The passage states that the boys have been playing soccer for almost two hours, indicating that they have been engaged in physical activity for a significant amount of time. It is reasonable to assume that they would be getting tired after such a long duration of play. Therefore, the statement "They must be getting tired" is likely to be true.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Every morning, the sun is shining in my bedroom window and is waking me up.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement says that every morning the sun is shining in the bedroom window and waking the person up. However, this cannot be true for everyone as it depends on the location of the bedroom and the direction the window is facing. Additionally, weather conditions such as cloudy or rainy days can prevent the sun from shining through the window. Therefore, the statement is false as it is not universally applicable.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    I have written them three times, but I still haven’t received a reply.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that the person has sent three messages or letters, but they have not received a response yet. This implies that the statement is true, as it confirms the lack of reply despite multiple attempts to communicate.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    I can’t afford that ring. It costs too much.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement "I can't afford that ring. It costs too much" implies that the speaker does not have enough money to purchase the ring because it is expensive. Therefore, the correct answer is true, indicating that the statement is accurate.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    I wrote to my friend last week. She hasn’t answered my letter yet. I have been waiting for a reply.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the speaker wrote to their friend last week and has been waiting for a reply, indicating that the friend has not yet answered the letter.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    In the last fifty years, medical scientists are making many important discoveries.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "In the last fifty years, medical scientists are making many important discoveries" implies that medical scientists are currently making important discoveries. However, the use of the present continuous tense suggests ongoing action, which may not be true. Therefore, the statement is false as it overgeneralizes the current progress of medical scientists' discoveries.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    My sister phoned. She's picking me up from school today.  

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement "My sister phoned. She's picking me up from school today" implies that the speaker's sister has called to inform them that she will be picking them up from school. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    The telephone is ringing four times in the last hour, and each time it has been for my office mate.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement contradicts itself by saying that the telephone has been ringing four times in the last hour, but each time it has been for the office mate. This implies that the telephone has been ringing for the office mate four times in the last hour, which means it cannot be false. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

    A: Mr. Thomas is a good PE teacher. How long has he been at this school? B: He teaches here for twenty-five years.  

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "He teaches here for twenty-five years" contradicts the question "How long has he been at this school?" The question is asking for the duration of Mr. Thomas' tenure at the school, but the statement only provides information about how long he has been teaching there. Therefore, the answer is false.
