Explanation

The correct answer is "looks like" because it suggests that the darkening sky is indicative of rain approaching.

Submit
18. 10. I would rather _____ a quiet cup of coffee in the office than sit in a noisy cafe.

Explanation

In this sentence, the phrase "I would rather" expresses a preference or choice. The word "have" is the correct answer because it completes the sentence and conveys the meaning that the person would prefer to have a quiet cup of coffee in the office rather than sit in a noisy cafe. The other options do not fit grammatically or contextually in the sentence.

Submit
19. 25. "Where should I put this key?"
"You can _____ it on the shelf?"

Explanation

The correct answer is "put". In this context, the person is asking where to place the key, and "put" is the most appropriate verb to use in this situation. "Hang" suggests suspending the key, which may not be suitable in this case. "Deposit" is typically used for financial transactions and doesn't fit the context. "Sit" is used for objects that can rest on a surface, but it doesn't convey the action of placing the key intentionally. Therefore, "put" is the best choice for indicating the action of placing the key on the shelf.
