She ____ to the market every morning.
go
goes
gone
going
The third person singular form in the present simple requires an 's', so 'goes' is correct. 'Go' and 'going' are not appropriate for this context, and 'gone' is a past participle.
Yesterday, I ____ a great movie.
see
saw
seen
seeing
The past simple form of 'see' is 'saw'. 'Seen' is a past participle and 'see' and 'seeing' do not fit the simple past context.
He is interested ____ learning French.
in
at
on
to
The adjective 'interested' is followed by the preposition 'in'. Other prepositions like 'at', 'on', and 'to' are incorrect in this structure.
Which of the following is spelled correctly?
acommodation
accommodation
accomodation
accomondation
The correct spelling is 'accommodation' with two 'c's and two 'm's. The other options contain misspellings.
Mark and Julia went to the park. They played football for two hours. Who spent two hours at the park?
Mark
Julia
Mark and Julia
Neither of them
The sentence states that both Mark and Julia played football for two hours, so both spent that time at the park. The other options mention only one person or none.
By next month, I ____ this book.
will finish
will have finished
have finished
had finished
To indicate completion before a future point, the future perfect 'will have finished' is used. The other forms do not correctly express this timing.
If I ____ you, I would apologize.
was
were
am
be
In hypothetical conditional sentences, the subjunctive mood uses 'were' for all subjects. 'Was' and 'am' are not used in this construction, and 'be' is incorrect.
Carlos wanted to learn swimming, so he joined the local swimming club two weeks ago. He practices every evening. His coach says he has improved significantly. How often does Carlos practice?
Once a week
Every morning
Every evening
Only on weekends
The passage explicitly states that Carlos practices every evening, so that is the correct frequency. The other options contradict the text.
She felt ____ after finishing the marathon.
exciting
exhausted
exhilarated
excited
After a marathon, one would feel very tired, which is 'exhausted'. 'Exciting' and 'excited' refer to emotions other than fatigue, and 'exhilarated' suggests excitement rather than tiredness.
You hear a message: 'Hi, this is Sarah. I'll be 15 minutes late to the meeting because my train was delayed.' What time will she arrive if the meeting was at 3 pm?
2:45 pm
3:15 pm
3:00 pm
3:30 pm
Being 15 minutes late to a 3 pm meeting means Sarah will arrive at 3:15 pm. The other times do not reflect a 15-minute delay.
He said that he ____ come the next day.
can't
couldn't
won't
doesn't
To report 'I can't come tomorrow,' 'can't' changes to 'couldn't' and 'tomorrow' becomes 'the next day'. The other options do not correctly form the reported speech.
The letter ____ by Mark yesterday.
was written
wrote
was writing
had written
The past simple passive is formed with 'was' + past participle, giving 'was written'. The other forms are either active or incorrect passive tenses.
The woman ____ lives next door is a doctor.
which
who
where
that
When referring to a person in a defining relative clause, 'who' is the correct pronoun. 'Which' and 'where' are used for things and places, and 'that' is less precise in B1 contexts.
At this time tomorrow, I ____ to New York.
will fly
will have flown
will be flying
am flying
Future continuous uses 'will be' + verb-ing to show an action in progress at a specific future time. The others do not convey this continuous aspect correctly.
The city council has decided to close the road for repairs next week. Buses will be rerouted. Why will buses be rerouted?
Because they want to avoid traffic
Because the road is closed for repairs
Because drivers are on strike
Because new roads are built
The passage clearly states the rerouting is due to the road closure for repairs. The other reasons are not mentioned.
She ____ in Paris for five years before moving to London.
lived
had lived
has lived
will have lived
The past perfect 'had lived' expresses an action that was completed before another past event. The simple past does not indicate that sequence.
If he had known about the traffic, he ____ earlier.
would leave
would have left
had left
would have been leaving
The third conditional uses 'would have' + past participle to express a past hypothetical result. The other options do not follow this structure.
Which sentence is grammatically correct?
Neither the manager nor the employees was informed.
Neither the manager nor the employees were informed.
Neither the manager nor the employees is informed.
Neither the manager nor the employees are informed.
With 'neither...nor', the verb agrees with the closest subject ('employees'), which is plural, so 'were informed' is correct. The other sentences misuse subject-verb agreement.
The scientist conducted an ____ to test the new hypothesis.
analysis
survey
experiment
observation
An 'experiment' is a procedure carried out to test a hypothesis under controlled conditions. The other terms describe different research methods.
Despite the initial setbacks, the project progressed smoothly. However, budget constraints threatened its completion. The team adapted by seeking additional funding. What can be inferred about the team's approach?
They ignored the setbacks.
They sought extra funding.
They changed the project's scope.
They abandoned the project.
The passage states the team sought additional funding to address budget constraints, indicating a proactive and solution-oriented approach. The other choices contradict the details given.
