Question 1

Every weekend, Aini __________ to the park to play with her friends.

Accepted Answer

B. goes. The adverbial phrase 'Every weekend' indicates a habitual action, requiring the simple present tense. The subject 'Aini' is third person singular, so the verb takes the '-s' form: 'goes'.

Question 2

Do not add too __________ sugar in the tea or it will be very sweet.

Accepted Answer

C. much. 'Sugar' is an uncountable noun. With uncountable nouns, we use 'much' (not 'many' or 'few'). 'Too much' indicates an excessive amount, which fits the context of the tea becoming very sweet.

Question 3

__________ boy waving from across the street is my cousin, Andy.

Accepted Answer

B. That. 'Boy' is singular, so we need a singular demonstrative ('This' or 'That'). Since the boy is 'across the street' (far from the speaker), 'That' is the correct choice.

Question 4

"Leave __________ schoolbags in the classroom," Mrs Lim told her students.

Accepted Answer

C. your. Mrs Lim is speaking directly to her students, so she addresses them as 'you'. The corresponding possessive adjective for 'you' is 'your'.

Question 5

The dog __________ loudly when it saw the stranger standing at the gate.

Accepted Answer

B. barked. The clause 'when it saw the stranger' uses the simple past tense ('saw'), so the main verb must also be in the simple past tense: 'barked'.

Question 6

The penguins __________ quickly down the icy hill.

Accepted Answer

B. slide. Penguins cannot fly. To 'slide' means to move smoothly along a surface, which is what penguins do down icy slopes. 'Wriggle' suggests twisting motion and 'slither' is for snakes.

Question 7

Mrs Lee warned Sam and May to be quiet and not __________ as their baby sister was sleeping in the next room.

Accepted Answer

B. horse around. 'Horse around' is an idiom meaning to play roughly or behave noisily. This fits the context of being asked to be quiet so as not to wake the sleeping baby.

Question 8

The young foxes ran into their __________ when they sensed danger.

Accepted Answer

A. den. A 'den' is the home/shelter of foxes (and other wild animals like bears). 'Nest' is for birds, 'stable' for horses, and 'kennel' for dogs.

Question 9

The man gobbled up his food __________ as he was very hungry.

Accepted Answer

C. greedily. 'Gobbled up' suggests eating quickly and eagerly because of hunger. 'Greedily' (with strong desire/eagerness) best matches this manner of eating.

Question 10

Look at that __________ of birds flying in the sky.

Accepted Answer

B. flock. The collective noun for a group of birds is 'flock'. 'Herd' is for cattle/large mammals, 'bunch' is for grapes/flowers, and 'swarm' is for insects like bees.

Question 11

Ben hammered a __________ into the wall so he could hang the mirror.

Accepted Answer

C. nail. A 'nail' is what one hammers into a wall to hang things. A 'pin' is too small, a 'bolt' is screwed in, and a 'wrench' is a tool used to turn nuts.
