    Correct Answer
    ago
    Explanation
    The word "ago" is the correct answer because it indicates that the action of meeting him on the street happened in the past, specifically two weeks in the past. It implies that the meeting occurred a certain amount of time before the present moment. The other options, "since" and "for," do not fit in this context as they imply a duration or a starting point, rather than a past event.

    • Best than

    Correct Answer
    A. Better than
    Explanation
    The sentence is comparing the quality of two books. The word "good" is an adjective, and when comparing two things, the comparative form is used. In this case, "better" is the comparative form of "good." Therefore, the correct answer is "better than" to indicate that the current book is of higher quality than the last one the person read.

    Complete the sentence with the appropriate verb I ________(study) English yesterday

    Correct Answer
    studied, I studied English yesterday
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "studied." The verb "studied" is in the past tense, which is appropriate for the sentence because it refers to an action that occurred in the past. The subject "I" indicates that the speaker is the one who performed the action of studying English. Therefore, the sentence "I studied English yesterday" is grammatically correct and makes sense in the given context.

    Correct Answer
    A. Diane washes her hair every other day or so
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Diane washes her hair every other day or so." This is the correct answer because it uses the present simple tense to describe a habitual action. The verb "wash" is conjugated correctly for the third-person singular subject "Diane." The phrase "every other day or so" indicates that this is a regular routine for Diane.

    A. Have you ever been to New York?
    Explanation
    The correct present perfect question is, "Have you ever been to New York?" This question is asking about a past experience of being in New York. The use of "ever" suggests that the question is asking if the person has had the experience at any point in their life. The other options are incorrect because they either use the wrong verb form ("being" instead of "been") or they ask about living in New York rather than visiting.
