The cat is sleeping on the mat.B. The cat sleeps on the mat.C. Is the cat sleeping on the mat?D. Sleeping the cat is on the mat.Answer: B. The cat sleeps on the mat.Explanation: Option B is the correct sentence as it follows the standard subject-verb-object (SVO) order in English. The other options are incorrect due to incorrect word order or the use of auxiliary verbs without the subject.2、Choose the word that best completes the sentence.The sun___________behind the clouds.A. is shiningB. was shiningC. has been shiningD. will shineAnswer: D. will shineExplanation: The correct answer is D because it indicates a future event. The sentence describes a situation that will happen in the future, hence “will”is used with the base form of the verb “shine.” Options A and B are in the present continuous and past continuous tenses, respectively, which are not suitable for describing a future event. Option C uses the present perfect continuous tense, which also does not fit the context of a future event.3、Choose the correct word to complete the sentence.The cat_______in the sun during the hot summer days.A. is sleepingB. sleepsC. will sleepD. had sleptAnswer: AExplanation: The sentence describes an action that is currently happening, which is “sleeping”. The correct form of the verb should be in the present continuous tense, hence “is sleeping” is the correct choice.4、Select the sentence that has correct punctuation.A. The weather is nice, isn’t it?B. The weather is nice, is it isn’t.C. The weather is nice, isn’t it?D. The weather is nice, is it?Answer: CExplanation: The correct use of punctuation in a question tag is to use a comma before the tag when it is a short sentence like “isn’t it?” Therefore, optionC is correctly punctuated. Options A andD are not punctuated correctly, and option B has an additional unnecessary comma and incorrect structure.5、Choose the correct word to complete the sentence.The cat is sleeping on the __________.A. chairB. floorC. tableD. bedAnswer: BExplanation: The correct answer is “floor” because it is a common place where cats sleep. The other options, such as chair, table, and bed, are less likely places for a cat to sleep during the day.6、Select the s entence that correctly uses the word “because.”A. She was late, she forgot to set her alarm.B. She was late, because she forgot to set her alarm.C. She forgot to set her alarm, she was late.D. Because she forgot to set her alarm, she was late.Answer: BExplanation: The correct answer is “because she forgot to set her alarm,” as it uses the word “because” to show the cause and effect relationship between forgetting to set the alarm and being late. The other options either lack the word “because” or do n ot correctly place it to indicate the cause.7、What is the capital city of France?A. LondonB. ParisC. BerlinD. RomeAnswer: B. ParisExplanation: Paris is the capital city of France. The other options listed are the capitals of other countries: London is the capital of the United Kingdom, Berlin is the capital of Germany, and Rome is the capital of Italy.8、Which of the following sentences is in the passive voice?A. The cat chased the mouse.B. The mouse was chased by the cat.C. The book is read by the student.D. The student reads the book.Answer: B. The mouse was chased by the cat.Explanation: The passive voice is used when the focus is on the action being done to the subject. In option B, “The mouse was chased” indicates that the action (chasing) was done to the mouse, which is the subject of the sentence. The other options are in the active voice, where the subject (the cat, the book, the student) performs the action.9.Choose the correct word to complete the sentence:The cat is sleeping in a cozy __________.A. blanketB. pillowC. bedD. basketAnswer: A. blanketExplanation: The correct answer is “blanket” because it is commonly used to describe something cozy in which a cat might sleep. “Pillow” is too small for a cat to sleep in, “bed” is usually for humans, and “basket” is not typically associated with a cozy sleeping place for a cat.10.Select the sentence that correctly uses the past tense.A. She is singing in the park yesterday.B. They were watching TV when the bell rang.C. He has finished his homework.D. We went to the movies last night.Answer: B. They were watching TV when the bell rang.Explanation: The correct answer is “They were watching TV when the bell rang” because it uses the pa st continuous tense to describe an action that was happening at a specific point in the past. The other options are incorrect because “yesterday” should be “yesterday” without “the,” “has” should be “had” for past perfect tense, and “went” is the correct p ast tense form of “go,” but it should be in a different context or with more detail to complete the sentence properly.11.The following sentence contains a mistake. Which one is it?A. The cat sat on the mat.B. She sings very good.C. He has two cats and one dog.D. They are playing football in the park.Answer: BExplanation: The correct form of the sentence should be “She sings very well.” The word “good” is not used in the context of describing how someone sings.12.Choose the correct word to complete the sentence.The boy was very excited because he_______a new toy yesterday.A. has boughtB. boughtC. had boughtD. will buyAnswer: CExplanation: The sentence talks about an action that happened in the past (the boy was excited because he bought a new toy).

I used examples like how creative thinkers like Steve Jobs and Albert Einstein changed the world with their innovative ideas.
