Q1
MCQ
My classmates ____ when I went up on stage for my dance performance.
(1) clap
(2) claps
(3) clapped
(4) are clapping
Explanation
The sentence describes an action that happened in the past, indicated by "when I went up". Therefore, the past tense verb "clapped" is the correct choice to match the temporal context.
Q2
MCQ
Peter was tired ____ hungry after a long day at work.
(1) or
(2) so
(3) and
(4) because
Explanation
"And" is used to connect two similar conditions or adjectives, indicating that Peter experienced both tiredness and hunger. "So" implies a consequence, "or" implies a choice, and "because" implies a reason, none of which fit as well as a simple conjunction of two states.
Q3
MCQ
I put on my shoes ____ leaving the house.
(1) by
(2) since
(3) before
(4) during
Explanation
"Before" indicates that the action of putting on shoes precedes the action of leaving the house, establishing a correct sequence of events.

(1) on
(2) off

Q5
MCQ
Sally and Jenny are such good friends, ____ they?
(1) is
(2) are
(3) isn't
(4) aren't
Explanation
This is a tag question. The main clause "Sally and Jenny are such good friends" uses a positive auxiliary verb ("are"). Therefore, the tag question must use a negative auxiliary verb ("aren't") and the plural pronoun "they" to refer to Sally and Jenny.
Q6
MCQ
Look at ____ bees over there! They are coming after us!
(1) this
(2) that
(3) these

Explanation
"Bees" is a plural noun. "Over there" indicates distance. The demonstrative pronoun for plural and distant objects is "those".
Q7
MCQ
Billy spilt ____ water on the floor and made a mess.
(1) none
(2) a few
(3) many
(4) some
Explanation
"Water" is an uncountable noun. "Some" is used with uncountable nouns to refer to an unspecified quantity. "A few" and "many" are used with countable nouns. "None" would contradict the fact that a mess was made.
Q8
MCQ
The children ____ in the park every day.
(1) play
(2) plays
(3) is playing
(4) are playing
Explanation
"Every day" indicates a habitual action, requiring the simple present tense. "The children" is a plural subject, so the base form of the verb "play" is correct.

Explanation
Given that Jack and Hassan were "upset" and "argued," the most fitting adverb to describe how they argued is "angrily."

(1) as brave as a lion

(3) There will be a discount when you purchase two games.
(4) Gaming keyboards will be given to anyone who visits the fair.
