  1. wash
  2. drive
  3. pass Correct answer.

  1. healthy Correct answer.
  2. hungry
  3. angry

  1. sell
  2. throw
  3. break
  4. borrow Correct answer.

We will have a party ( ) Saturday afternoon at my house.

  1. in
  2. on Correct answer.
  3. at
  4. to

  1. boring
  2. wonderful Correct answer.
  3. empty

  1. kitchen
  2. stadium
  3. park
  4. library Correct answer.

My mother is a doctor. She ( ) at the hospital near our house.

  1. works Correct answer.
  2. plays
  3. sleeps
  4. sings

Explanation

"Works" means to do a job, which matches being a doctor at a hospital. The first sentence states her profession, so the second describes where she does her job. The other verbs do not describe a doctor's job.

A: ( ) is the weather in London? B: It's rainy and cold today.

  1. Who
  2. When
  3. How Correct answer.
  4. Which

Explanation

"How" is used to ask about the condition or state of something, including the weather. The reply describes the weather as rainy and cold, which answers a "How" question. The other question words ask about different things.

Question 13Integrated language comprehension, forms and application

I am very tired ( ) I studied until late last night.

  1. because Correct answer.
  2. but
  3. or
  4. so

Question 14Integrated language comprehension, forms and application

There ( ) twelve students in my English class.

  1. is
  2. am
  3. are Correct answer.
  4. be

Explanation

"Are" is the correct verb because "twelve students" is plural, and plural subjects take "are" in the present tense. The phrase "There are" introduces a number of things. The other forms do not agree with a plural noun.

Question 15Integrated language comprehension, forms and application

A: Whose bag is this? B: It's ( ). I bought it yesterday.

  1. my
  2. mine Correct answer.
  3. me
  4. I

Explanation

"Mine" is a possessive pronoun that stands alone and means "my bag," which fits the answer to "Whose." It replaces the noun without needing another word. The other forms cannot stand alone in this position.

Question 16Integrated language comprehension, forms and application

My brother can ( ) the guitar very well. He practices every day.

  1. drink
  2. wear
  3. clean
  4. play Correct answer.

Question 17Integrated language comprehension, forms and application

It is raining hard. Don't forget to take your ( ) with you.

  1. spoon
  2. camera
  3. umbrella Correct answer.
  4. ticket

Explanation

An umbrella keeps a person dry in the rain, so it is the right item to take when it is raining hard. The first sentence about heavy rain is the clue. The other items do not help with rain.

Question 18Integrated language comprehension, forms and application

A: Did you enjoy the movie? B: Yes, I ( ). It was really funny.

  1. did Correct answer.
  2. am
  3. was
  4. do

Explanation

"Did" is the correct short answer to a question that begins with "Did," because the answer must use the same auxiliary verb. "Yes, I did" agrees with the past-tense question. The other verbs do not match "Did you enjoy."

Question 19Integrated language comprehension, forms and application

We need some eggs and milk. Let's go to the ( ).

  1. airport
  2. library
  3. museum
  4. supermarket Correct answer.

Explanation

A supermarket is a store that sells food such as eggs and milk, which matches the need stated in the first sentence. The items listed are groceries. The other places do not sell food.

Question 20Integrated language comprehension, forms and application

My father ( ) to work by train every morning.

  1. go
  2. goes Correct answer.
  3. going
  4. gone

Explanation

"Goes" is the correct present-tense form because the subject "My father" is third-person singular and the action is a daily habit. The phrase "every morning" shows a routine, which takes the simple present. The other forms are not correct here.

Question 21Integrated language comprehension, forms and application

The test was very ( ), so many students could not finish it.

  1. kind
  2. difficult Correct answer.
  3. quiet
  4. fresh

Explanation

"Difficult" means hard to do, which explains why students could not finish the test. The result clause gives the reason for the adjective. The other words do not explain an unfinished test.

Question 22Integrated language comprehension, forms and application

A: ( ) you like some tea? B: Yes, please. Thank you.

  1. Are
  2. Did
  3. Have
  4. Would Correct answer.

Explanation

"Would you like" is a polite way to offer something, and the reply "Yes, please" shows it is an offer. This fixed polite phrase is common at this level. The other words do not form a polite offer with "like some tea."

Question 23Integrated language comprehension, forms and application

I usually ( ) my homework after dinner.

  1. do Correct answer.
  2. make
  3. take
  4. play

Explanation

The verb "do" is the correct partner for "homework" in English, forming the fixed phrase "do homework." This is a common collocation tested at this level. The other verbs are not used with the word homework.

Question 24Integrated language comprehension, forms and application

A: What ( ) you doing now? B: I'm watching TV.

  1. is
  2. do
  3. are Correct answer.
  4. does

Explanation

"Are" is correct because the subject "you" takes "are" in the present continuous, and "doing" plus "now" shows an action happening at this moment. The reply "I'm watching" confirms the present continuous tense. The other forms do not fit "you" with "doing."

Question 25Integrated language comprehension, forms and application

My new shoes are too small. They don't ( ) me.

  1. fit Correct answer.
  2. eat
  3. read
  4. drive

A: I'm hungry. B: ( ) Let's make some sandwiches together.

  1. Good night.
  2. You're welcome.
  3. Me too. Correct answer.
  4. See you later.

Explanation

"Me too" means the speaker feels the same way, here also hungry, which fits making food together. It is a natural reply that agrees with the first speaker. The other responses do not match the situation.

A: How many brothers do you have? B: ( )

  1. I'm fine, thanks.
  2. I have two. Correct answer.

  1. Happy birthday.

  1. What time is it?
  2. Where are you going?
  3. Who is that woman? Correct answer.

  4. That's a good idea.

  1. At eight o'clock.
  2. It's near the park.

A: Let's play tennis after school. B: ( ) I love tennis.

  1. No, thank you.
  2. Sounds good! Correct answer.

  1. Oh, that's too bad. Correct answer.
  2. Congratulations!
  3. Happy New Year.
  4. You're right.

  1. How many
  2. What time Correct answer.

  2. I don't have one.

  1. It was delicious.
  2. On the desk.
  3. Because I missed the bus. Correct answer.

  1. many
  2. every
  3. much

  1. In the kitchen.
  2. For three years. Correct answer.

  1. Yes, I do.
  2. It's far.
  3. On Sunday.
  4. Coffee, please. Correct answer.

  1. Can I swim here? Correct answer.

  4. I'm not sure.

Explanation

  1. When is the test?
