1.
The cars and buses ________very noisy today.
Correct Answer
C. Are
Explanation
The correct answer is "are" because the subject "cars and buses" is plural, so the verb should also be plural to agree with the subject.
2.
Do you watch a lot of television?
Correct Answer
A. Yes, I do.
Explanation
The correct answer is "Yes, I do" because the question is asking about the person's current television watching habits. The use of "do" is appropriate to indicate present tense. "Yes, I am" would be incorrect as it implies a continuous action, and "Yes, I did" is incorrect as it indicates past tense. The option "none of the above" is also incorrect as it does not provide a valid response to the question.
3.
Yoshi _________to read books.
Correct Answer
C. Doesn't like
Explanation
The correct answer is "doesn't like" because it is the correct form of the negative sentence in the present simple tense. "Yoshi" is the subject, and "doesn't" is the contraction of "does not" used with the third person singular pronoun. "Like" is the base form of the verb that follows the subject. Therefore, the correct sentence is "Yoshi doesn't like to read books."
4.
Do you play sports?
Correct Answer
B. No, I don't.
Explanation
The correct answer is "No, I don't." because the question is asking if the person plays sports, and the response "No, I don't" indicates that they do not play sports. The other options are incorrect because they either indicate that the person does play sports ("No, I do") or use incorrect grammar ("No, I doesn't"). Therefore, "No, I don't" is the most appropriate and grammatically correct response.
5.
Ali ___________his book now.
Correct Answer
C. Isn't reading
Explanation
The correct answer is "isn't reading" because the sentence is in the present continuous tense, indicating an action that is happening at the moment of speaking. "Is" is the helping verb used with the present continuous tense, and "reading" is the main verb in the continuous form. Therefore, the correct sentence is "Ali isn't reading his book now."
6.
This isn't my iphone. I'm sure it's ___________.
Correct Answer
A. Yours
Explanation
The correct answer is "yours" because the sentence is referring to the ownership of the iPhone. The word "yours" is a possessive pronoun that indicates ownership, whereas "your" is a possessive adjective that describes something belonging to "you." "You're" is a contraction of "you are" and does not fit the context of the sentence. Therefore, "yours" is the appropriate choice to indicate that the iPhone belongs to someone else.
7.
I have two dogs _______ one cat.
Correct Answer
C. And
Explanation
The correct answer is "and" because it is used to connect two items or ideas in a sentence. In this case, the sentence is stating that the speaker has two dogs and one cat. "And" is the appropriate conjunction to join these two elements together.
8.
Susie looks younger __________than her sister.
Correct Answer
D. None of the above.
Explanation
The correct answer is "None of the above" because the word "than" is missing in the sentence. The correct sentence should be "Susie looks younger than her sister."
9.
Excuse me, ______ a bathroom here?
Correct Answer
C. Is there
Explanation
The correct answer is "is there" because the question is asking if there is a bathroom available. The phrase "is there" is used to inquire about the existence of something, in this case, a bathroom.
10.
Did you finish _______book you were reading?
Correct Answer
A. The
Explanation
The word "the" is the correct answer because it is used to refer to a specific book that the person was reading. The use of "the" implies that there is a specific book that the speaker and the listener are both aware of.
11.
My brother ________to the dentist yesterday.
Correct Answer
C. Went
Explanation
The correct answer is "went" because it is the past tense form of the verb "to go." The sentence is referring to an action that happened in the past, specifically yesterday, so the past tense is required.
12.
Are you listening to me?
Correct Answer
C. Yes, I am.
Explanation
The correct answer is "Yes, I am." because it is the grammatically correct response to the question "Are you listening to me?" The other options "Yes, I do." and "Yes, I is." are incorrect because they do not match the verb tense and subject agreement. The option "None of the above." is also incorrect because there is a correct answer among the given options.
13.
What is he doing?
Correct Answer
B. Smiling
Explanation
The correct answer is "smiling" because the question is asking about the person's current action, and "smiling" is a verb that describes the action of showing happiness or amusement on one's face.
14.
Where are you?
Correct Answer
A. On the box
Explanation
The correct answer is "on the box" because it indicates a location where the person is situated.

The other options, "in the box" and "under the box," imply different locations that are not consistent with the given question.
