    Correct Answer
    A. First he was watching TV. Then his friend arrived.

    Correct Answer
    A. He's finished his homework.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "He's finished his homework." This answer indicates that the person has completed their homework and is no longer working on it. The other option, "He's still doing his homework," suggests that the person is currently in the process of doing their homework, which contradicts the given statement.

    Correct Answer
    A. I'll start level 5 when next quarter begins.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "I'll start level 5 when next quarter begins." This answer accurately reflects the given statement that the person will start level 5 at the beginning of the next quarter. It uses the word "when" to indicate that the action will occur simultaneously with the start of the next quarter.

    • I studied until a little while ago.

    Correct Answer
    A. I'm still studying.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "I'm still studying" because the person states that they have been studying all night, indicating that they are currently engaged in studying. The other options suggest that they have stopped studying either a little while ago or have already finished studying, which contradicts the initial statement.

    Correct Answer
    A. First his friend arrived. Then he watched TV.

    Correct Answer
    A. I'll start level 5 before October.
    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "I'll start level 5 before October." This answer is correct because the original statement states that by October, the person will have already started level 5. Therefore, it implies that the person will start level 5 before October. The other option, "I'll start level 5 in October," contradicts the original statement as it suggests that the person will start level 5 during October, not before it.
