Can you hear what he is .......?
- A.
Saying
- B.
Speaking
- C.
Telling
- D.
Talking
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. SayingExplanation
The correct answer is "saying" because when we want to know if someone can hear what another person is doing with their voice, we use the verb "saying." The other options are not appropriate in this context. "Speaking" refers to the act of using one's voice to communicate, but it does not specifically address the question of whether someone can hear it. "Telling" and "talking" also do not specifically address the act of using one's voice to communicate. Therefore, "saying" is the most suitable option.Rate this question:

- A.

- B.
Like
- C.

None of the above
Correct Answer
B. LikeExplanation
The correct answer is "like" because it is used to compare the appearance or characteristics of two things. In this case, the sentence is comparing the appearance of "she" to that of a famous film star. The word "as" would be incorrect because it is used to compare actions or behavior. "Similar" and "same" would also be incorrect because they do not convey a comparison of appearance. "None of the above" is not the correct answer because "like" is the appropriate word to use in this context.Rate this question:
