B) A good group of friends our son has at his school.
C) At his school our son has of friends a good group.
D) Our son has a good group of friends at his school.
Show Answer
Explanations:

Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect. The phrase "of a good group" sounds awkward and disrupts the natural flow.

Option B:
Correct but less direct than D; it places emphasis on the category rather than the individual.

C) Of my brother's I met a friend.
D) I met my brother's of a friend.
Show Answer

This option follows the standard English sentence structure where the subject "I" comes first, followed by the verb "met," and then the object phrase "a friend of my brother's." The other options either start with prepositional phrases or have incorrect word orders that make them grammatically incorrect.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct. Follows proper English sentence structure.
Option B:
Incorrect. "A friend I met of my brother's" is not a standard way to construct this sentence in English.
Option C:
Incorrect. "Of my brother's I met a friend" starts with a prepositional phrase, which is not the correct beginning for this sentence structure.

B) A dentist of doctor is a kind.
C) A dentist is a kind of doctor.
D) A kind of doctor is a dentist.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct answer is
C) A dentist is a kind of doctor.
This sentence follows the standard English structure where "a [noun] is a [adjective] of a [related noun]." In this case, "kind" modifies "doctor," and "dentist" is described as being a type or category of "doctor."
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect structure; "of" should not come between "is" and "doctor."
Option B:
Incorrect word order; "dentist of doctor" does not make sense.
Option C:
Correct sentence structure and meaning.
Option D:
Inverts the relationship between "kind," "doctor," and "dentist."

A) Was submitted.
B) Submitting is.
C) Are submitting.
D) Is submitted.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct answer is
D) Is submitted.
This sentence uses the present simple passive voice, which is formed with "is/are + past participle." In this case, "is submitted" correctly conveys that the report undergoes submission every month.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect. The verb form should be in the present simple tense.
Option B:
Incorrect. This option uses a gerund and doesn't fit the passive voice structure.
Option C:
Incorrect. "Are submitting" is active voice, not passive.
Option D:
Correct. Uses present simple passive form.
10.
The question below contains a group of jumbled phrases or clauses. Rearrange them to form a meaningful sentence by choosing the correct option.a) is a valuable skillb) that helps in personal and professional growthc) developing critical thinkingd) and enhances decision-making abilities
A) A, c, d, b.
B) B, d, c, a.
C) C, a, d, b.
D) C, a, b, d.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct order of the phrases to form a meaningful sentence is "C, A, B, D." This sequence logically connects the development of critical thinking as a valuable skill that aids in both personal and professional growth by enhancing decision-making abilities. Each phrase builds upon the previous one, creating a coherent statement.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
is incorrect because it starts with "is a valuable skill," which should come after introducing what this skill is about.
Option B:
is incorrect as it places the explanation of personal and professional growth before mentioning critical thinking.
Option C:
is correct; it begins by stating that developing critical thinking is a valuable skill, setting up the sentence properly.
Option D:
is partially correct but misplaces "and enhances decision-making abilities," which should follow the growth benefits.
11.
Choose the correct form of the verb for the passive voice in the past simple tense:The cake ..... (eat) by the children yesterday.
A) Was eat.
B) Was eaten.
C) Eaten.
D) Ate.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct form of the verb for the passive voice in the past simple tense is "was eaten." In the passive voice, the subject (the cake) is acted upon by an unspecified agent (by the children), and the auxiliary verb "was" is used with the past participle "eaten."
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect. The form "was eat" is not a valid verb in English.
Option B:
Correct. "Was eaten" is the proper passive voice form for the past simple tense.
Option C:
Incorrect. "Eaten" alone does not include the auxiliary verb necessary for the past simple tense.
Option D:
Incorrect. "Ate" is in active voice and does not indicate passivity or the past simple tense correctly.
12.
He is ..... at football than his brother.
A) Best.
B) Better.
C) Good.
D) The best.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The sentence "He is better at football than his brother" correctly compares the two individuals using a comparative adjective "better." This form indicates that one person (he) performs more proficiently in football compared to another (his brother).
Option Analysis:
Option A:
"Best" is an absolute superlative, which does not fit the comparative context of the sentence.
Option B:
"Better" is correct as it properly compares his skill level to that of his brother.
Option C:
"Good" is a positive adjective but does not make a comparison, making it inappropriate for this context.
Option D:
"The best" implies an absolute superlative and cannot be used in comparative sentences like the one provided.
13.
Rearrange the following time / for / of / good / balance / is / crucial / work-life
A) For time, good work-life balance is crucial.
B) Good work-life balance time is crucial for.
C) Work-life balance is crucial for good time.
D) Time for good work-life balance is crucial.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Option C is correct because it follows the proper sentence structure in English, where the subject "Work-life balance" comes first, followed by the verb phrase "is crucial for," and then the object "good time." This order makes the sentence clear and easy to understand.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect. The word "time" is misplaced; it should not be at the beginning of the sentence.
Option B:
Incorrect. The structure is awkward, and "good time" sounds unnatural in this context.
Option C:
Correct as explained above.
Option D:
Incorrect. "Time for good work-life balance" does not follow the natural flow of ideas in English.
14.
He can't come out tonight, he hasn't got ..... money.
A) A little.
B) Few.
C) Many.
D) Much.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct answer is
D) Much.
The phrase "he hasn't got much money" is a common way to express that someone lacks sufficient funds for an activity, such as going out in this context. "Much" is used with uncountable nouns like money and is more natural than the other options.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
"A little" would imply a small amount of money, which doesn't fit the negative statement as well.
Option B:
"Few" is used with countable nouns and wouldn't make sense in this context.
Option C:
"Many" is also used with countable nouns and would not be appropriate here.
Option D:
"Much" correctly conveys the lack of sufficient funds for going out, making it the best choice.
15.
Reorder the scrambled words to form a grammatically correct sentence: "the day / feel tired / I / in / always / the middle / of / ." Choose the correct reconstruction.
A) Always I feel tired the day in the middle of.
B) I feel tired always of the middle in the day.
C) In the middle of the day always I feel tired.
D) I always feel tired in the middle of the day.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct sentence is "I always feel tired in the middle of the day." This option maintains proper subject-verb agreement and follows a logical sequence that makes sense grammatically and semantically. The phrase "in the middle of the day" provides context for when this feeling typically occurs.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect order, does not follow natural English syntax.
Option B:
Misplaced prepositions and adverbs, incorrect word order.
Option C:
While "in the middle of the day" is correct, it should precede the verb phrase for better flow.
Option D:
Correct sentence structure and word order.
16.
Identify the error:'She go to the store yesterday.'
A) She went to the store yesterday.
B) She gone to the store yesterday.
C) She going to the store yesterday.
D) She goes to the store yesterday.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Option A is correct because it uses the simple past tense, which is appropriate for describing a completed action in the past. The sentence 'She went to the store yesterday' accurately conveys that the action of going to the store was completed by the time yesterday ended.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct. Uses simple past tense, indicating a completed action.
Option B:
Incorrect. 'Gone' is not used in this context; it implies an ongoing or habitual action.
Option C:
Incorrect. 'Going' indicates an action in progress and does not fit the past tense requirement.
Option D:
Incorrect. Uses present tense, which does not match the past time reference of "yesterday."
17.
While the workers were repairing the door, they ..... kitchen window.
A) Broke.
B) Break.
C) Have broken.
D) Was broken.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The sentence "While the workers were repairing the door, they broke kitchen window." is grammatically correct and maintains proper tense consistency. The past simple verb "broke" matches with the present continuous clause "were repairing," indicating a simultaneous action in the past.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct. "Broke" fits well as it describes an action that happened simultaneously with another action in the past.
Option B:
Incorrect. "Break" is in present tense and does not fit the context of a past event.
Option C:
Incorrect. "Have broken" implies a completed action before now, which contradicts the past continuous nature of the sentence.
Option D:
Incorrect. "Was broken" suggests that the window was already broken and not an action performed by the workers.
18.
Which option correctly identifies the syntactic function of the prepositional phrase in the sentence "I met a friend of my brother's" ?
A) Noun complement modifying "friend".
B) Subject complement describing "I".
C) Adverbial phrase modifying the verb "met".
D) Appositive renaming "a friend".
Show Answer
Explanations:
The prepositional phrase "of my brother's" functions as a noun complement modifying "friend." It provides additional information about the nature of the friend, indicating that this friend is related to the speaker’s brother.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct. The phrase "of my brother's" modifies "friend," providing more detail about who the friend is.
Option B:
Incorrect. Subject complements describe or rename the subject, which is not the case here.
Option C:
Incorrect. Adverbial phrases modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, but this phrase modifies a noun (friend).
Option D:
Incorrect. An appositive renames or reidentifies a noun, which is not the function of "of my brother's" in this sentence.
19.
Fix the sentence about weekend activity:sometimes / She / ride / at / the / weekend / my / bike
A) She sometimes rides my bike at the weekend.
B) She sometimes ride my bike at weekend.
C) At the weekend she sometimes ride my bike.
D) She rides sometimes my bike at the weekend.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Option A is correct because it follows proper English grammar and sentence structure. The subject "She" is correctly placed at the beginning, followed by the verb "sometimes rides," which uses the correct form of the verb "ride." The possessive pronoun "my" properly modifies "bike," and "at the weekend" is correctly positioned as an adverbial phrase.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct. Proper grammar, sentence structure.
Option B:
Incorrect. Verb form should be "rides."
Option C:
Incorrect. Sentence structure is wrong; verb placement and pronoun order are incorrect.
Option D:
Incorrect. Possessive pronoun position is wrong, and the word order is not correct.
20.
Choose the correctly ordered question:your / sport / What's / favourite?
A) What's favourite your sport?.
B) What your sport is favourite?.
C) Your favourite sport what is?.
D) What's your favourite sport?.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Option D is correct because it follows the standard English sentence structure for asking about a person's favorite sport, which is "What + is + [possessive adjective] + [adjective] + noun?" In this case, "What's your favourite sport?" directly translates to that structure.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect order of words.
Option B:
Incorrect placement of "is" and misplaced adjective.
Option C:
Incorrect word order, missing "is".
Option D:
Correct sentence structure.
21.
..... television programmes do you like?
A) How.
B) What.
C) Who.
D) Why.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Option B) What is correct because the question "How many television programmes do you like?" requires a response that specifies a quantity, which can only be answered with a number (e.g., "I like 5 television programmes"). The word "What" would typically introduce a question asking about the type or kind of programme, not the count.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
How is used to inquire about methods or ways, which does not fit the context of counting programmes.
Option B:
What is correct as it introduces a question asking for identification or specification, fitting here for identifying the type of programme.
Option C:
Who is used to ask about people, which does not apply in this context.
Option D:
Why is used to inquire about reasons, which is irrelevant to counting programmes.
22.
Put the verb in the correct form for the passive voice in the present simple tense:The house ..... (clean) every day.
A) Was cleaning.
B) Is cleaned.
C) Are cleaning.
D) Cleaned is.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The sentence "The house is cleaned every day" uses the present simple tense in passive voice correctly. In this structure, the subject ("the house") is being acted upon by an unspecified agent, and the verb "cleaned" is in its base form because it's part of the present simple tense.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Was cleaning - Incorrect; past continuous tense.
Option B:
Is cleaned - Correct; present simple passive voice.
Option C:
Are cleaning - Incorrect; plural form and present continuous tense.
Option D:
Cleaned is - Incorrect; past simple tense with incorrect word order.
23.
Choose the correctly ordered question about routines:do / at / what / you / the / weekend / do?
A) What do you do at the weekend?.
B) At the weekend you do what do?.
C) Do what do you at the weekend?.
D) What you do do at the weekend?.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Option A follows the correct English sentence structure for asking about weekend activities: "What do you do at the weekend?" This is a standard question formation in English, where 'what' leads the question, followed by the subject pronoun 'you', and then the verb phrase 'do'. The preposition 'at' is correctly placed before 'the weekend'.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct. Follows standard English sentence structure for asking about activities.
Option B:
Incorrect. Misplaces the word order, making it grammatically incorrect and confusing.
Option C:
Incorrect. The placement of 'do' at the end makes the question ungrammatical and unclear.
Option D:
Incorrect. Repetition of 'do' is unnecessary and disrupts proper sentence structure.
24.
A. Thao:I've been learning to play the guitar! b. Jack:Hi, Thao! Thanks! I just got back from a wellness retreat. How about you? c. Thao:Hey, Jack! Good to see you again. You look refreshed!
A) C-b-a.
B) A-c-b.
C) B-c-a.
D) C-a-b.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct order of the dialogue is C-b-a, as it follows a natural conversation flow: Thao greets Jack (C), Jack responds with his recent activity (b), and Thao acknowledges their meeting and Jack's appearance (a).
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect order.
Option B:
Incorrect order.
Option C:
Correct order.
Option D:
Incorrect order.
25.
The question below contains a group of jumbled phrases or clauses. Rearrange them to form a meaningful sentence by choosing the correct option.a) to achieve your dreamsb) you must work hardc) and stay focusedd) while overcoming challenges
A) B, c, d, a.
B) A, c, b, d.
C) B, a, c, d.
D) A, b, c, d.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct order of the phrases to form a meaningful sentence is "you must work hard, to achieve your dreams, while staying focused, and overcoming challenges." This sequence logically presents the steps needed to realize one's aspirations.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect. The phrase "to achieve your dreams" should come after stating what needs to be done ("you must work hard").
Option B:
Incorrect. "and stay focused" and "while overcoming challenges" need to follow the main clause about working hard.
Option C:
Correct. This order logically flows: start with the action of working hard, then explain what it is aimed at (achieving dreams), maintain focus during this process, and face challenges along the way.
Option D:
Incorrect. The phrase "to achieve your dreams" should be placed after stating the main action ("you must work hard").
26.
Rearrange the words to form a grammatically correct sentence in the passive voice:were / the / pictures / taken / by / him
A) The pictures were taken by him.
B) He taken the pictures were by.
C) Pictures were taken by the him.
D) Were taken by the pictures him.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct answer is
A) The pictures were taken by him.
This sentence is in the passive voice, where the focus is on the object ("the pictures") rather than the subject ("him"). In a passive construction, the verb "to be" plus the past participle form of another verb (in this case, "taken") is used to indicate that the action was done to the subject.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct. The sentence follows the passive voice structure with proper word order.
Option B:
Incorrect. The word order is incorrect, and "he" should be placed after "were taken."
Option C:
Incorrect. "The him" at the end disrupts the correct passive construction.
Option D:
Incorrect. This option has a misplaced structure that does not form a proper sentence in the passive voice.
27.
Rearrange the words to form a grammatically correct sentence in the passive voice:was / by / the / book / written / John
A) The book was written John by.
B) By the book was written John.
C) The book by was written John.
D) The book was written by John.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct answer is
D) The book was written by John.
This sentence is in the passive voice, where the focus is on the object (the book) rather than the subject (John). In this structure, the agent (by John) follows the verb phrase.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect order of words. The preposition "by" should come after the passive verb.
Option B:
Incorrect word order and placement of "by." It should be placed after the passive verb phrase.
Option C:
Incorrect word order, placing "by" before the passive verb phrase.
Option D:
Correct. The sentence is in the passive voice with proper word order and placement of "by."
28.
Rearrange the followingto / important / is / communication / effective / teamwork
A) Effective communication is important to teamwork.
B) Important is effective communication to teamwork.
C) Teamwork is important to effective communication.
D) To teamwork, effective communication is important.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct answer is
A) Effective communication is important to teamwork.
This option maintains the logical flow of ideas, stating that effective communication plays a crucial role in successful teamwork. It highlights the importance of communication as a prerequisite for effective teamwork.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correctly orders the words to convey that effective communication is essential for good teamwork.
Option B:
Incorrect order, making it unclear what is important and to whom or what.
Option C:
Inverts the relationship between teamwork and effective communication, suggesting teamwork is more important than communication.
Option D:
Rearranges the sentence structure but still conveys the same meaning as A; however, it starts with "To teamwork," which sounds less natural in English.
29.
Rearrange the followingthe / for / is / exercise / health / beneficial
A) Exercise is beneficial for the health.
B) Beneficial is exercise for the health.
C) The health is beneficial for exercise.
D) For health, exercise is beneficial.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct answer is
A) Exercise is beneficial for the health.
This option follows a standard English sentence structure where the subject (Exercise) comes first, followed by the verb phrase (is beneficial), and then the prepositional phrase (for the health). It ensures clarity and readability.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct. Follows proper sentence structure.
Option B:
Incorrect. "Beneficial is" sounds awkward and does not follow standard English syntax.
Option C:
Incorrect. Places the object (the health) before the subject, which is grammatically incorrect in this context.
Option D:
Correct structure but less clear than A due to word order; "For health" sounds less natural as a prepositional phrase at the beginning of the sentence.
30.
The more I look at this picture, ..... I like it.
A) The bigger.
B) The more.
C) More.
D) The most.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct answer is
B) The more.
This option correctly uses the comparative form "more" in a progressive manner, indicating an increase in liking as time passes or the picture is viewed multiple times. It follows the structure of the English superlative construction with "the + comparative + plural", which is used to express increasing intensity.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect. "The bigger" does not fit grammatically in this context and does not convey an increase in liking.
Option B:
Correct. "The more" is the appropriate comparative form to express increasing liking over time or with repeated viewing.
Option C:
Incorrect. "More" alone lacks the necessary structure to indicate a progressive increase in liking.
Option D:
Incorrect. "The most" implies an absolute highest level of liking, which is not appropriate for this context where the speaker's opinion is changing over time or with repeated viewing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is sentence reordering, and why is it important in English grammar?
Sentence reordering involves arranging the elements of a sentence to change its emphasis or clarity. It's crucial for effective communication as it helps convey ideas more precisely and engagingly.
How can prepositional phrases be used in sentence construction and reordering?
Prepositional phrases can act as noun modifiers, providing additional information about the subject or object of a sentence. They can be moved within sentences to alter emphasis or flow without changing the core meaning.
What is the difference between active and passive voice in sentence structure?
Active voice attributes action directly to the subject, while passive voice emphasizes the object of an action. Passive constructions often use forms like "be + past participle" and can be used for emphasis or when the actor is unknown.
How does sentence reordering affect the progression of a text?
Sentence reordering can enhance the logical flow and readability of a text by ensuring that ideas are presented in a way that best supports the overall argument or narrative.
What is the role of sentence structure and agreement in sentence reordering?
Sentence structure and agreement ensure that elements like subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, and pronoun usage are maintained even when sentences are reordered. This helps prevent confusion and maintains grammatical correctness.
