    Correct Answer
    A. To

    As long.......you are happy there is nothing to worry about. - ProProfs

    As long.......you are happy there is nothing to worry about.

    • Is

    • As

    • Was

    Correct Answer
    A. As
    Explanation
    The word "as" is the correct answer because it is used to compare two things that are equal or similar in a certain aspect. In this case, it is comparing the duration of being happy to the absence of worry. The sentence implies that as long as you are happy, there is no need to worry. The other options, "is" and "was," do not convey the same meaning of comparison and would not fit in the sentence structure.

    • Could

    • Would

    • Want

    Correct Answer
    A. Want
    Explanation
    The missing word in the first sentence should be "want" because it fits grammatically and makes sense in the context of the sentence. The second sentence also supports this, as it expresses a desire to stay young forever.

    ...........I was younger I had a car accident and that made me completely change the way I thought about life. - ProProfs

    • Before

    • Once

    • When

    Correct Answer
    A. When
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "When". The sentence structure suggests that the car accident happened at a specific point in time, indicating the use of "When" to introduce that event. "Once" would imply a repeated or habitual action, and "Before" would imply that the car accident happened before the speaker's younger years, which does not make sense in the context of the sentence.

    • Like

    • Want

    • Could

    Correct Answer
    A. Like
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "like" because it indicates a preference or desire to sail around the world. The word "like" suggests that the person has an interest or inclination towards this activity, rather than stating a capability or possibility (could) or expressing a future intention (want).

    • Having

    • Be

    Correct Answer
    A. Have
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "have" because it is the correct form of the verb to express the desire or intention to have children in the future. "Having" is the present participle form and does not fit the context of the sentence. "Be" is also incorrect as it does not convey the desired meaning of wanting to have children.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 
    Education.............been a big part of my life. I really enjoyed university. - ProProfs

    Education.............been a big part of my life. I really enjoyed university.

    • Is

    • Was

    • Has

    Correct Answer
    A. Has
    Explanation
    The word "has" is the correct answer because the sentence is written in the present perfect tense. The phrase "has been" indicates that education has been a continuous and ongoing part of the person's life. The use of "has" suggests that education is still a significant aspect of their life, even though they specifically mention enjoying university in the past.

The verb "watch" is in the base form, which is used to express actions that are not yet completed. The other options "watched" and "watching" are in the past and present participle forms respectively, which do not fit the context of the sentence.

    • Many

    • Much

    • Too

    Correct Answer
    A. Much
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "much" because it is used to describe an uncountable noun like "joy." "Many" is used for countable nouns, "too" is used to indicate excessive amounts, and "so" is used to intensify an adjective or adverb. However, in this sentence, we are talking about the quantity of joy, which is an uncountable noun, so "much" is the appropriate choice.

    The correct answer is "spend." The sentence is in the conditional form, expressing a hypothetical situation.
