What is the main idea of the sentence: "Sara enjoys reading historical novels in her free time."?
Sara enjoys reading historical novels during her free time.
Sara dislikes historical novels.
Sara writes historical novels.
Sara has no interest in books.
The sentence states that Sara enjoys reading historical novels when she is not busy, which matches the first option. The other options contradict the information given or introduce new, unsupported ideas.
Which supporting detail is mentioned in: "The supermarket is open 24 hours a day. It offers fresh produce, household items, and a bakery section."?
Fresh produce
Sports equipment
Clothing
Appliances
The sentence lists fresh produce, household items, and a bakery section as offerings. Sports equipment, clothing, and appliances are not mentioned in the text.
In the sentence "The manager was delighted with the team's performance", which word is a synonym for "delighted"?
Happy
Sad
Tired
Angry
"Delighted" means very pleased or happy. The other options express different emotions unrelated to the meaning of delighted.
Choose the correct verb form: "If it ______ tomorrow, we will cancel the picnic."
rains
rain
rained
will rain
In a first conditional sentence, the present simple "rains" is used in the if-clause. "Rain" (base form) and "rained" (past) are incorrect, and "will rain" is not used in the if-clause of a first conditional.
Which listening strategy is most helpful when you miss a single word during an audio clip?
Guess its meaning from the context
Pause the audio and look it up immediately
Ignore the rest of the clip
Stop listening and start over
When you miss a word in a listening test, guessing its meaning from context helps you continue without breaking the flow. Pausing to look up words or stopping disrupts comprehension and time management.
Anna studied late every night, despite being tired, to improve her exam score. What can be inferred about her motivation?
She is uninterested in exams.
She likes sleeping late.
She is determined to succeed.
She hates studying.
Anna's behavior of studying late even when tired shows determination and a strong desire to do well. The other options contradict her effort or introduce unrelated preferences.
Which detail supports the durability of the new smartphone: "features a high-resolution camera, long battery life, and water-resistant design"?
High-resolution camera
Water-resistant design
Long battery life
Sleek design
A water-resistant design directly relates to the phone's durability in wet conditions. The camera resolution and battery life are performance features, not durability.
When preparing for a listening test, which strategy helps you focus on key words before listening?
Reading the full transcript beforehand
Scanning the questions first
Writing every word you hear
Listening without notes
Scanning questions first directs your attention to the information you need to listen for. Reading transcripts breaks test rules and writing everything can distract you from comprehension.
Complete the sentence with the correct word: "The hikers reached the summit and felt a great sense of _____."
accomplishment
accomplish
accomplishing
accomplishes
The noun "accomplishment" correctly fits the blank to describe the feeling of achievement. The other forms are verbs or verb forms and do not fit grammatically.
Which sentence correctly uses a relative clause with "who"?
The woman who called you left a message.
The woman which called you left a message.
The woman whom calls you left a message.
The woman who calls you left a message.
"Who" is the correct relative pronoun for people, and "who called you" is a correct clause. "Which" is for things, "whom calls" is grammatically wrong, and the present tense "calls" does not match the past context.
Choose the best transition word to improve coherence between: "I finished my homework. I watched TV."
Meanwhile
After
Although
Because
"After" correctly shows that watching TV happened subsequent to finishing homework. "Meanwhile" implies simultaneous actions, "Although" expresses contrast, and "Because" implies cause.
What is the best way to improve cohesion in: "In my opinion, I think that the festival is very good."?
Remove "In my opinion,"
Remove "I think"
Keep both phrases
Change "festival" to "event"
Removing "In my opinion," avoids redundancy with "I think" and makes the sentence more concise. Keeping both or changing unrelated words does not address cohesion.
You have 30 minutes for three tasks: reading, writing, and listening. Writing is the longest task. Which order helps manage your time best?
Writing, then reading, then listening.
Listening, then writing, then reading.
Reading, then listening, then writing.
Random order as you prefer.
Tackling the longest and most demanding task (writing) first ensures sufficient focus and reduces stress. Starting with easier tasks can leave insufficient time for writing.
In the transcript: "Host: The concert will start at 8pm. There will be guest appearances by two bands, and a fireworks display at the end." Which detail is mentioned?
Free entry
Fireworks at the end
Different start time
No guest bands
The speaker clearly mentions a fireworks display at the end of the concert. Free entry and no guest bands are not stated, and the start time is given as 8pm.
Choose the correct collocation: "After much thought, she decided to _____."
make a decision
do a decision
take a decision
have a decision
"Make a decision" is the standard English collocation for choosing between options. The other phrases are nonstandard or incorrect in this context.
In: "Despite the heavy rain, the marathon continued, and runners soaked to the bone cheered loudly at every mile." What does "soaked to the bone" suggest?
Extremely wet
Hungry
Tired
Unhappy
"Soaked to the bone" is an idiom meaning completely wet. The other options describe different states that are not implied by the phrase.
Listen to the introduction: "Our next topic is renewable energy sources. We'll discuss solar power, then..." What is most likely to be discussed next?
Wind energy
Fossil fuels
Hydroelectric power
Nuclear energy
In discussions of renewable sources, solar power is commonly followed by wind energy. Fossil fuels are non-renewable, and hydroelectric might come later but wind is the next logical topic.
Identify the error in: "Although he was tired, but he continued working."
Remove "although"
Remove "but"
Change "he" to "him"
Change "working" to "worked"
Using both "although" and "but" is redundant. Removing "but" corrects the sentence. The other changes do not fix the redundancy issue.
Which revision uses pronouns correctly for cohesion? Original: "Tom went to the store. Tom bought milk. Tom paid at the counter."
Tom went to the store. He bought milk. He paid at the counter.
Tom went to the store. Tom bought milk. Then Tom paid at the counter.
He went to the store. Tom bought milk. He paid at the counter.
Tom went to the store, milk bought, counter paid.
Using "He" instead of repeating "Tom" makes the paragraph cohesive. Option two still repeats the name, and the others either mix pronouns incorrectly or are grammatically incorrect.
You have 10 minutes for 5 short questions (2 points each) and 1 long question (10 points). How should you allocate your time?
2 minutes per short question; 5 minutes for the long question.
1 minute per short question; 9 minutes for the long question.
3 minutes per short question; 1 minute for the long question.
2 minutes per short question; 3 minutes for the long question.
Allocating time proportionally to points (10 points each for shorts and long) means spending 5 minutes on the short questions (5×2=10 points) and 5 minutes on the long question (10 points).
