7. Write the words in correct order to make correct sentenceis dog black my and brown.

Explanations: Option C) "My dog is black and brown" correctly places the possessive pronoun before the noun, followed by the subject-predicate structure with the verb "is." The adjectives "black" and "brown" are appropriately placed to describe the noun "dog."

14. Write the words in correct order to make correct sentenceam student I a

Option Analysis:

Option A: "Student I am a" is incorrect because it places the descriptor before the subject.
Option B: "I am a student." is correct as it follows the proper SVO structure.
Option C: "A student I am" is also incorrect because it places the descriptor at the beginning of the sentence, which is not standard in English grammar.

Explanations: Option A is correct because it follows proper English sentence structure, placing the interrogative word "Who" at the beginning of the question and maintaining a logical flow with the rest of the sentence. The phrase "knocking at the door" is placed correctly to indicate what action the subject (who) is performing.

Option Analysis:

Option A: Correctly structured as an interrogative sentence.
Option B: Incorrect because it suggests the door is knocking, which is illogical and not a proper question structure.
Option C: Incorrect due to misplaced words; "At the door who" does not form a coherent question.
Option D: Incorrect as it starts with "Is," making it an incomplete sentence rather than a full interrogative statement.

16. Listen to the audio and choose the correct homophone from the options.

Explanations: The correct answer is C) Scent. The audio likely contains a word that sounds like "scent" but might be misspelled as "sent" or "cent." In English, homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. "Scent" refers to an odor or smell.

Option Analysis:

Option A: Incorrect due to improper word order. "Primary students school" does not follow standard English syntax.
Option B: Correct as explained above.
Option C: Incorrect because it places "school" before "primary," which is not the correct adjective-noun order in English.
Option D: Not applicable since option B is correct.

Option Analysis:

Option A: Incorrect; it places "would like to become a writer" before "grow up," which is not proper in English.
Option B: Incorrect; the structure of this sentence does not follow standard English grammar rules for placing time clauses.
Option C: Correct; it follows the correct order and structure for expressing a future intention with a time clause.
Option D: Not applicable since option C is correct.

S6:Its purpose is to communicate news thoroughly, but quickly and succinctly.O:While standard news articles can be 300 to 700 words long, a news brief should ideally be 100 words or fewer.P:Ideally, a news brief should be broken into two or three paragraphs. Q:However, it can also appear in digital editions of a newspaper, on a news website or other online news source, or it can be read on a radio or TV news program. R:It traditionally appears in a print newspaper.

Explanations: The correct order is D) R-Q-O-P. R: "It traditionally appears in a print newspaper." This sentence sets the context and should come first, establishing where news briefs are typically found. Q: "However, it can also appear in digital editions of a newspaper, on a news website or other online news source, or it can be read on a radio or TV news program." This follows logically as it expands on the previous sentence by mentioning additional platforms for news briefs. O: "While standard news articles can be 300 to 700 words long, a news brief should ideally be 100 words or fewer." This provides important information about the length of news briefs and should come next as it contrasts with typical news article lengths. P: "Ideally, a news brief should be broken into two or three paragraphs." This sentence logically follows the discussion on length by providing guidance on how to structure the content within the limited word count.

Option Analysis:

Option A: Incorrect order.

Option D: Correct order.

20. You-in-zoo-the-don't-when-animals-feed-are-the

Option C: Incorrect as it starts with an unnecessary clause and has a misplaced subject-verb order.
Option D: Correct for proper sentence structure and clarity.

22. An exercise. is This easy

Explanations: Option C, "This is an easy exercise," is correct because it follows proper English sentence structure. In this case, the adjective "easy" directly modifies the noun "exercise," making it a clear and grammatically sound statement.

Option Analysis:

Option B: Incorrect. The placement of the adjective makes it unclear whether "easy" modifies "exercise" or "is." It should be placed immediately after "exercise."
Option C: Correct. This option correctly places "easy" as an adjective modifying "exercise," forming a clear and grammatically correct sentence.
Option D: Incorrect. Option C is the correct choice, so this is not applicable.

23. An antonym for EXPENSIVE is..

Explanations: The antonym for "expensive" is correctly identified as D) Cheap. When something is not expensive, it means it has a lower cost or price, which is precisely what the word "cheap" conveys. The other options—pricey, costly, and steep—are all synonyms of "expensive."

Option Analysis:

Option A: Pricey - Synonym for expensive.
Option B: Costly - Synonym for expensive.
Option C: Steep - Often used to describe a high price or cost, but can also refer to something that is difficult or challenging. Not an antonym of "expensive."
