      Talking

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Saying
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "saying" because the question is asking about what the person can hear. When someone speaks or talks, they are producing sound, and in this context, the person is specifically referring to the words or phrases that the individual is uttering. Therefore, "saying" is the most appropriate choice as it directly relates to the act of producing audible words.

      Till

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    C. Yet

    The correct answer is "yet" because it indicates that the person being referred to has not yet arrived at home. The word "yet" is commonly used to express a situation that has not happened or been completed up to the present moment.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    I ......... TV yesterday evening.

      Saw

      Looked

    • C.

      Viewed

    • D.

      Watched

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    D. Watched
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "watched." This is because the verb "watched" is the most appropriate choice when referring to viewing something on television. The other options, such as "saw," "looked," and "viewed," do not specifically convey the act of watching television. Therefore, "watched" is the best fit for completing the sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 4.

      As

    • B.

      Like

      Similar

    • D.

      Same

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    B. Like
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "like" because it is used to compare two things or people that have similarities. In this case, the sentence suggests that the person being described has similarities or resemblances to a famous film star. The word "as" is used to indicate the function or role of someone or something, while "similar" means having characteristics in common but not necessarily identical. "Same" means identical or exactly alike, which may not be the intended meaning in this context. Therefore, "like" is the most appropriate choice to indicate the comparison between the person and the famous film star.

      None of the above

      On

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. For
    Explanation
    The phrase "That's what I would like" implies a desire or preference for something. In this case, the speaker is expressing their preference for something related to Christmas. The preposition "for" is commonly used to indicate the intended recipient or purpose of a desire or preference. Therefore, "for" is the correct preposition to use in this context.
