    I ______ early in the morning, but now I don't.

    • Use to get

    • Don't use to get

    • Used to get

    • Didn't use to get

    Correct Answer
    A. Used to get
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "used to get." This is because the phrase "used to" is used to talk about past habits or actions that are no longer true or no longer happen. In this sentence, the speaker is saying that they used to get up early in the morning, but they don't anymore.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    The more specific the map should be the more intensive the reading becomes.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    This statement is true because when a map is more specific, it means that it includes more detailed information and features. As a result, reading and understanding the map requires more attention and focus. The reader needs to closely analyze the various symbols, colors, and labels on the map to interpret the specific information it provides. This can be more time-consuming and mentally demanding compared to reading a less specific or more generalized map.

    Correct Answer
    A. Had 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "had". This is because the sentence is in the past tense and "had" is the past tense form of the verb "have". It indicates that the action of taking the important exam happened in the past.

    Taking a hot bath is considered to be a relaxing activity. It helps to relieve stress, soothes muscles, and promotes a sense of calmness. Therefore, the word "relaxing" is the most suitable choice to complete the sentence and convey the intended meaning.

    Explanation

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Do we say : I live beside the school or I live beside school ?

    • I live beside the school

    • I live beside school

    Correct Answer
    A. I live beside the school
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "I live beside the school." In English, we use the definite article "the" before nouns when we are referring to a specific thing or person. Since "school" in this context refers to a particular school, we need to use "the" before it. Therefore, the correct sentence is "I live beside the school."

    • The/an

    Correct Answer
    A. The/an
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The/an" because it indicates that a specific cruise was delayed for more than an hour. The definite article "the" is used to refer to a specific noun, in this case, the cruise. The indefinite article "an" is used to refer to a non-specific amount of time, in this case, more than an hour.

    Correct Answer
    A. Haven't got
    Explanation

    • Were the trees removed yet ?

    Correct Answer
    A. Have the trees been removed yet ?
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Have the trees been removed yet?" This question is asking about the current status of the trees, specifically whether they have been removed or not. The use of "have" in the question indicates that the speaker is asking about a recent action or event. The response "yes, but the cars are still there" suggests that the trees have indeed been removed, but there are still cars present.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    All the difficult words in a given reading passage can be skipped or guessed from the context.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false because it is not always possible to skip or guess the meaning of all difficult words in a reading passage from the context. While context can provide some clues about the meaning of unfamiliar words, there are instances where the context may not be sufficient to accurately guess the meaning. Additionally, skipping difficult words can lead to a lack of understanding and comprehension of the passage. Therefore, it is important to actively engage with unfamiliar words by using strategies such as looking up their definitions or seeking clarification.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    The patient______ for the major operation at the moment

    • Is preparing

    • Will be preparing

    • Is being prepared

    • Is prepared

    Correct Answer
    A. Is being prepared
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "is being prepared" because the sentence is in the passive voice and indicates that someone is currently in the process of preparing the patient for the major operation. The use of "being" suggests an ongoing action, and "prepared" indicates that the patient is not yet fully ready for the operation.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    All of the following are signal words for effect, except:

    • So

    • Then

    • Due to

    • There for

    Correct Answer
    A. Due to
    Explanation
    The signal words "So," "Then," and "Therefore" are commonly used to indicate cause and effect relationships. However, "Due to" is not typically used as a signal word for effect, but rather as a signal word for cause or reason. It is often used to explain the cause or reason behind something happening. Therefore, "Due to" is the correct answer as it does not belong to the category of signal words for effect.

    Rate this question:

  • 18.

    • Determine the key element

    • Start by moving your eyes quickly reading through the passenge until you come to a piece of detail you are looking for

    • All of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. None of the above
    Explanation
    The given question is asking about the technique of skimming. However, none of the options provided accurately describe the process of skimming. The options mention determining the key element and quickly reading through the passage until finding the desired detail, but these are not comprehensive explanations of the skimming technique. Therefore, none of the above options is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    Select the word doesn't match with the verb ( make )

    • Clothes

    • Several attempts

    • Great effort

    • Something good

    Correct Answer
    A. Something good
    Explanation
    The word "Something good" doesn't match with the verb "make" because "make" is usually used with concrete objects or actions, whereas "something good" is an abstract concept. The verb "make" is typically used to describe the creation or production of tangible items or the performance of specific actions, whereas "something good" does not fit into either of these categories.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Where _______ your holiday ?

    • Are you spending

    • You spent 

    • Were you spending

    • None 

    Correct Answer
    A. You spent 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "you spent". This is because the question is asking about the past tense of spending a holiday. "Are you spending" is in present continuous tense, "were you spending" is in past continuous tense, and "none" is not a valid option. Therefore, "you spent" is the correct past tense form to complete the question.
