It involves quickly glancing through the text to identify the main ideas, keywords, and the general structure of the passage.

    • D.

      Have been bringing

    Correct Answer

      Finally seen

    • D.

      Has finally seen

    Correct Answer
    B. Finally saw
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "finally saw". This is because the phrase "once she" indicates a past event, and the past simple tense is used to describe completed actions in the past. Therefore, "finally saw" is the appropriate verb form to use in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    We just have_____ bread, I should go and buy some.

    • A.

      A few

    • B.

      Little

    • C.

      A little

    • D.

      Few

    Correct Answer
    C. A little
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "A little" because it indicates a small quantity of bread. The phrase "I should go and buy some" suggests that there is not enough bread available, but there is still a small amount left. "A little" is the appropriate phrase to use in this context to convey the idea of needing more bread.

    Rate this question:

      Buy

    • C.

      Bring

    • D.

      Becomes

    Correct Answer
    D. Becomes
    Explanation
    The verb "gets" is used to describe a change in temperature, indicating that it becomes cold at night. The other options do not convey the same meaning of a change or transformation occurring. Therefore, "becomes" is the most appropriate verb to complete the sentence.

    • D.

      Be careful

    Correct Answer
    D. Be careful
    Explanation
    The phrase "Mind the threshold or you will stumble and fall down" implies that one should be cautious and attentive in order to avoid any potential danger or negative consequences. Therefore, the correct answer "Be careful" aligns with the idea of being cautious and mindful of the threshold to prevent any accidents or mishaps.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Have you_____ this movie ?

      Already seen

      Seeing

    • D.

      Never seen

    Correct Answer
    A. Ever seen 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "ever seen". This is because the phrase "ever seen" is used to ask if someone has watched a movie at any point in their life. The other options, "already seen", "seeing", and "never seen", do not convey the same meaning as the original question.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    I'm sorry, I can't hear what you____ because  everybody ______ so loudly.

    • B.

      Is saying/are talking

    • C.

      Say/is talking

    Correct Answer
    A. Are saying/is talking
    Explanation
    In this sentence, the subject "everybody" is plural, so the correct verb form to use is "are saying." Additionally, since "everybody" is a collective noun referring to a group of individuals, the verb "is talking" should be in the singular form. Therefore, the correct answer is "are saying/is talking."

    Rate this question:

    • D.

      Had/been having

    Correct Answer
    A. Had/had
    Explanation

    • D.

      Do you cook/smells

    Correct Answer
    C. Are you cooking/smells
    Explanation

  • 14. 

    Good readers shouldn't pay attention to graphic aids.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false. Good readers should pay attention to graphic aids as they can provide additional information, clarify concepts, and enhance understanding of the text. Graphic aids such as charts, diagrams, and illustrations can visually represent data, relationships, and processes, making it easier for readers to comprehend complex information. Ignoring graphic aids can result in a limited understanding of the text and may lead to misinterpretation or incomplete comprehension of the subject matter. Thus, good readers should actively engage with and analyze graphic aids to enhance their reading experience.
