2. Complete the sentence: He says he's been robbed. He can't find his wallet_______

Explanation

The correct answer is "anywhere." This is because the sentence states that he cannot find his wallet, indicating that it is missing or lost. "Anywhere" suggests that he has searched everywhere but still cannot locate his wallet.

Submit
3. Which of these is a  past principle?

Explanation

The correct answer is "It is believed." This is because "believed" is the past participle form of the verb "believe." In this sentence, the verb "is" is used in the passive voice to indicate that someone holds a belief about something. The past participle form is used to show that the belief is already established or held by someone.

Submit
4. Choose the INCORRECT answer:

Explanation

The correct answer is "Your mother's sister is your cousin." This statement is incorrect because your mother's sister is actually your aunt, not your cousin. A cousin is a child of your parent's sibling, whereas an aunt is a sibling of one of your parents.

Submit
5. Answer the question: ​​Is this the first time you have been to Britain?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Yes, it is." This answer indicates that it is the first time the person has been to Britain. The use of "it" refers to the specific situation of being in Britain, implying that the person has not been there before.

Submit
6. Complete the sentence: I went to Italy _____________ to learn Italian.

Explanation

The phrase "in order" is used to indicate the purpose or intention behind an action. In this case, the sentence is expressing that the person went to Italy with the specific intention of learning Italian. The phrase "in order" fits perfectly in the sentence to convey this meaning.

Submit
7. Complete the sentence: I used to _____ a lot when I was a child.

Explanation

The correct answer is "study." This is because the sentence is in the past tense and "used to" indicates a habitual action in the past. Since the verb "study" is already in the base form, it fits correctly in the sentence structure.

Submit
8. Complete the sentence: I have Flamenco classes_____ 

Explanation

The correct answer is "on Saturday afternoons." This indicates that the Flamenco classes take place specifically on Saturday afternoons.

Submit
9. Which of these is an adverb?

Explanation

An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. In this case, "quickly" is the only word that functions as an adverb as it modifies the verb by describing the speed or manner in which an action is done. "Quickest" and "quicker" are adjectives that describe the noun, while "sly" is an adjective that describes a person's behavior.

Submit
10. Complete the sentence: If I were rich, I______buy a mansion.

Explanation

The correct answer is "would" because in this sentence, we are talking about a hypothetical or unreal situation (if I were rich), which requires the use of the conditional verb form "would."

Submit
11. Answer the question: What time will you be back home?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Around twelve." This answer suggests that the person will be back home at approximately twelve o'clock.

Submit
12. Which of these is an adjective?

Explanation

"Hard" is an adjective because it describes the noun it modifies. In this case, "hard" describes the noun "harden." Adjectives are words that provide more information about nouns, such as their qualities, characteristics, or states. "Hardly" is an adverb, as it modifies a verb or an adjective, while "hardship" is a noun, as it refers to a difficult or challenging situation.

Submit
13. Which of these is a personal pronoun?

Explanation

The word "they" is a personal pronoun because it is used to refer to a group of people or things as the subject of a sentence. It is a pronoun that replaces the noun and functions as a subject in a sentence. In this case, "they" is the correct answer because it is the only option that fits the definition of a personal pronoun.

Submit
14. Complete the sentence: We'll never get to the airport! Ther is _____ time!

Explanation

The correct answer is "too little." This phrase indicates that there is not enough time to reach the airport. The word "too" implies an excessive or insufficient amount, and "little" refers to a small quantity. Therefore, "too little time" suggests that the available time is not sufficient for the task at hand, which is getting to the airport.

Submit
15. Which of these tenses is a past perfect simple?

Explanation

The correct answer is "She had laughed." This is an example of the past perfect simple tense, which is used to describe an action that happened before another action in the past. In this case, the action of laughing occurred before another past action or event.
