A. sad
B. angry
C. glad
D. tired

A. go
B. goes
C. went
D. gone
Answer: C. went
Explanation: The correct answer is “went” because the sentence is in the past tense, as indicated by the word “Yesterday.” The past tense form of the verb “to go” is “went.” Option A (go) is present tense, option B (goes) is third person singular present tense, and option D (gone) is the past participle, which is not used as the main verb in this context.

A)are
B)is
C)am
D)be
Answer: A) are

A. She don’t like ice cream.
B. They doesn’t like pizza.
C. He doesn’t like hamburgers.
D. We don’t likes French fries.
Answer: C. He doesn’t like hamburgers.
Explanation: The correct form uses the third-person singular conjugation “doesn’t” with “he” and the plural form of the noun “hamburgers.” Option A is incorrect because “she” requires the singular verb form “doesn’t.” Option B incorrectly mixes the third-person conjugation with the plural subject “they.” Option D incorrectly combines the first-person plural “we” with the singular verb ending “-s.”
8、Choose the word that best completes the sentence:
The children played_______in the park.
A. happy
B. happier
C. happily
D. happiness
Answer: C. happily

The list of participants (is / are) growing every day.
A)is
B)are
Answer: A) is
Explanation:The subject “The list” is singu lar, so we use the singular verb form “is.” Even though the sentence refers to multiple participants, the subject itself is the single list.
10、Complete the sentence with the appropriate word:
We____our project before the deadline.
A)has finished
B)have finished
C)had finished
D)finish
Answer: B) have finished
Explanation: Since the project completion relates to something that happened in the past but has relevance to the present situation, the present perfect tense “have finished” is appropriate here. Note that “we” is a
first-person plural pronoun, which requires “have” rather than “has.”
11、Which of the following words has a different pronunciation for the underlined part?
A. bike
B. bus
C. climb
D. ball
Answer: C. climb
Explanation: In options A, B, and D, the letter “b” is pronounced as /b/. However, in option C, the “b” in “climb” is silent, making it different from the others.

A. upset
B. happy
C. surprised

For many people, visiting the Great Wall is more than just a tourist activity; it’s a chance to con nect with history and admire the perseverance and ingenuity
of those who built it. Although some sections of the wall have fallen into disrepair over the centuries, restoration efforts continue to preserve this national treasure for future generations.
