A gross collection of dust and dirt that gathers on the floor.
- C.

- D.

B. A gross collection of dust and dirt that gathers on the floor.Explanation
A dust bunny is a term used to describe a gross collection of dust and dirt that accumulates on the floor. It is not a tool used for cleaning dust, a gray-colored bunny, or a kind of vacuum. The term "dust bunny" is often used metaphorically to describe clumps of dust and dirt that gather in hard-to-reach or neglected areas, resembling the shape and size of small animals.Rate this question:

The phrase "Can you explain this to me?" is correct when asking for help understanding something.

Which phrase is correct, if you are talking about finishing your homework after working on it for a long time?
- A.
At the end, I was able to finish my homework.
- B.
My homework finished after a time.
- C.
I finally finished my homework.
Correct Answer
C. I finally finished my homework.Explanation
The phrase "I finally finished my homework" is correct in this context because it conveys the idea of completing the task after a long period of working on it. The other options do not accurately express the same meaning. "At the end, I was able to finish my homework" suggests that there was a specific point or event that allowed the completion, which is not mentioned in the question. "My homework finished after a time" implies that the homework itself completed, rather than the person finishing it.Rate this question:

Ernie broke his leg three times in his life.
- B.
Ernie has breaked his leg three times in his life.
- C.
Ernie break his leg three times in his life.
- D.
Ernie has broken his leg three times in his life.
Correct Answer
D. Ernie has broken his leg three times in his life.Explanation
The correct answer is "Ernie has broken his leg three times in his life." This is the correct present perfect phrase because it uses the auxiliary verb "has" followed by the past participle form of the verb "break" (broken). The present perfect tense is used to talk about actions or events that started in the past and have a connection to the present. In this case, breaking his leg three times in his life is an action that has occurred in the past and has a relevance to the present moment.Rate this question:

In this case, the verb is "mark" and its past participle form is "marked". The sentence is negative, indicating that the action of marking the tests has not been done by our teacher yet.Rate this question:

COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVES: Bad
- A.
Worse
- B.
Badder
Correct Answer
A. WorseExplanation
The correct answer is "worse" because it is the comparative form of the adjective "bad." When comparing two things, we use the comparative form, so "worse" is the correct choice. "Badder" is not a recognized comparative form of "bad" and is therefore incorrect.Rate this question:

COMPARATIVES & SUPERLATIVES: careful
- A.
Carefuller
- B.
More careful
Correct Answer
B. More carefulExplanation
The correct answer is "more careful" because when comparing the degree of carefulness, we use "more" before the adjective "careful" instead of adding the suffix "-er" to the adjective. This is because "careful" is a two-syllable adjective, and when adjectives have two or more syllables, we typically use "more" before the adjective to form the comparative degree.Rate this question:

COMPARATIVES & SUPERLATIVES: tiny
- A.
Tiniest
- B.
Teeniest
Correct Answer
A. TiniestExplanation
The word "tiniest" is the correct answer because it is the superlative form of the adjective "tiny." Superlatives are used to compare three or more things and indicate the highest degree of a quality. In this case, "tiniest" is used to describe something that is smaller in size than all others. The alternatives "tiny" and "teeniest" are the comparative forms, which are used to compare two things.Rate this question:

- A.

- B.

Correct Answer
D. BroughtExplanation
The correct answer is "brought" because in the past simple tense, the irregular verb "bring" is conjugated as "brought" for the third person singular (Daisy). "Brings" is incorrect because it is the present tense form. "Brang" and "brung" are also incorrect as they are not valid past tense forms of the verb "bring".Rate this question:

- A.

- B.

A. LostExplanation
The correct answer is "lost." In the past simple tense, irregular verbs do not follow the typical pattern of adding "-ed" to form the past tense. Instead, they have their own unique forms. "Lost" is the past tense form of the verb "lose." Therefore, the sentence should be "We lost our house keys on the train."Rate this question:

Many
Correct Answer
C. SomeExplanation
The correct answer is "some" because "some" is used with both countable and uncountable nouns to indicate an indefinite quantity or amount. In this case, "bread" is an uncountable noun, so we use "some" to express a non-specific amount of bread that the speaker would like.Rate this question:

In this question, we are asking if the person would like some jam on their bread. Since jam is an uncountable noun, we cannot use "a" or "an" before it. "This" and "these" refer to specific items, so they are not appropriate in this context.
