Do you know the man ______ brought me the book?
Explanation
The correct answer is "who, that". In this question, we are asking for information about the man who brought the book. "Who" is used to refer to a person, so it is the appropriate choice in this context. "That" is not suitable because it is used to refer to things or objects, not people. Therefore, "who" is the correct pronoun to use in this sentence.Rate this question:

Their
Correct Answer
B. TheirExplanation
The correct answer is "their" because it is used to show possession. In this sentence, it is asking if the person being addressed is coming to someone else's Christmas party. "There" is used to indicate a place, and it does not make sense in this context.Rate this question:

Indsæt verbum i nutid:Peter ______ (love) Maria.
Correct Answer
lovesExplanation
The correct answer is "loves." In this sentence, we are asked to insert a verb in the present tense. The subject of the sentence is "Peter," and the object is "Maria." To match the subject and maintain subject-verb agreement, we need to use the third-person singular form of the verb.

We live in a bigger house in one of Denmark's large towns.
- C.
We live in a big house in one of Denmark's large towns.
Correct Answer
C. We live in a big house in one of Denmark's large towns.Explanation
The correct answer is "We live in a big house in one of Denmark's large towns." This is because the sentence states that "Vi bor i en større villa," which translates to "We live in a bigger house." The word "større" means "bigger" or "larger." Additionally, the sentence states "i en af Danmarks større byer," which translates to "in one of Denmark's large towns." Therefore, the correct translation is "We live in a big house in one of Denmark's large towns."Rate this question:

- A.
University
- B.
Apple
- C.
Elephant
- D.
Hour
- E.
Horse
Correct Answer(s)
B. Apple
C. ElepHant
D. HourExplanation
The words "apple," "elephant," and "hour" all have a vowel sound at the beginning, which is why the indefinite article "an" is used instead of "a." The words "university" and "horse" do not have a vowel sound at the beginning, so the indefinite article "a" is used instead.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
A. Themselves
C. HimselfExplanation
The correct answer options, "themselves" and "himself," are examples of reflexive pronouns. Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and the object of a sentence refer to the same person or thing. In this case, "themselves" and "himself" are used to refer back to the subject of the sentence. The other answer options, "their," "He," and "I," are not reflexive pronouns as they do not reflect back to the subject.Rate this question:

- E.
Which
Correct Answer(s)
B. That
D. Who
E. WhichExplanation
The correct answer options, "that," "who," and "which," are all relative pronouns used to introduce relative clauses in a sentence. Relative pronouns are used to connect a dependent clause to a main clause, and they refer back to a noun or pronoun mentioned earlier in the sentence. In this case, these pronouns can be used to provide additional information about a noun or pronoun mentioned earlier in the sentence. The option "themselves" is not a relative pronoun and does not fit the criteria of the question.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)

"Some" is used in positive sentences to refer to an unspecified quantity or number, while "any" is used in negative sentences or questions to refer to an unspecified quantity or number.Rate this question:

- B.

Correct Answer
B. Subjektet står før verballeddet (grundled før udsagnsled)Explanation
Ligefrem ordstilling refers to the word order in a sentence where the subject comes before the verb phrase. In this case, "grundled før udsagnsled" means that the subject (grundled) is placed before the verb phrase (udsagnsled).

A. Ligefrem ordstillingExplanation
The given sentence "I bought a bike yesterday" follows the structure of a typical subject-verb-object sentence, where the subject ("I") comes before the verb ("bought"), which is followed by the object ("a bike").

Er nedenstående sætning aktiv eller passiv?The dog was hit by the car.
- A.
Aktiv
- B.
Passiv
Correct Answer
B. PassivExplanation
The given sentence "The dog was hit by the car" is in the passive voice. This is because the subject of the sentence (the dog) is receiving the action (being hit) rather than performing it. The sentence structure follows the pattern of "subject + was + past participle + by + agent (optional)". In this case, the dog is the subject, "was hit" is the past participle verb phrase, and "by the car" indicates the agent responsible for the action.Rate this question:

In some cases, a comma may be used before "that" to indicate a pause or to separate clauses, but it is not a universal rule.Rate this question:

- B.
Kongruens
- C.
Utællelighed
- D.
Bøjningsfejl
Correct Answer
C. UtællelighedExplanation
The correct answer is "Utællelighed" (uncountability). The error in the sentence is the use of "four furnitures" instead of "four pieces of furniture."
