Show Answer
Explanations:
The sentence "Yesterday my parents..... :'' Don't watch TV, do your homework! ''" is in the past tense, indicating an action that occurred yesterday. Therefore, the verb should be in its past form, which is "Said."
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Say - Incorrect as it is not in the past tense.
Option B:
Said - Correct as it is in the past tense.
Option C:
Says - Incorrect as it is in the present tense and refers to a general statement, not something that happened yesterday.

3.
That's John's book,
A) It's?.
B) It is?.
C) Isn't it?.
D) Is it?.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Option C, "Isn't it?," is correct because the statement "That's John's book" is a declarative sentence indicating ownership. To form an appropriate question to check if the listener agrees with this statement, one should use a tag question starting with "Isn't." This structure is commonly used in English to seek confirmation.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect as it uses a contraction without a subject.
Option B:
Incorrect as it uses the full form of "is" without starting with "Isn't."
Option C:
Correct as it forms an appropriate tag question to seek confirmation.
Option D:
Incorrect as it is a simple yes/no question, not seeking confirmation.
4.

A) Wetsuit.
B) Life jacket.
C) A boat.

Show Answer
Explanations:
A life jacket is designed to keep you afloat in water if you fall into it, providing buoyancy and preventing drowning.
Option Analysis:

Wetsuit - Provides insulation but not flotation.
Option B:
Life jacket - Correct answer as it provides flotation to keep you afloat.
Option C:
A boat - Keeps you on top of the water, but not if you fall overboard.

None of the above - Incorrect since life jackets are used for this purpose.
5.
It's cold. You ..... a cardigan.
A) Shouldn't wear.
B) Should wear.
C) Mustn't wear.
D) Should use.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The sentence "It's cold. You should wear a cardigan." indicates that wearing a cardigan is advisable given the current weather condition. The verb "should" expresses a recommendation based on circumstances, which fits the context of the situation where it is cold.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Shouldn't wear - Incorrect as it contradicts the cold weather condition.
Option B:
Should wear - Correct as it aligns with the recommendation to dress warmly when it's cold.
Option C:
Mustn't wear - Incorrect as it is not mandatory but a suggestion based on the situation.
Option D:
Should use - Incorrect as "use" does not fit the context of dressing up for warmth.

We ..... lost if we ..... the town map.
A) Will get / forget.
B) Got / forgot.
C) Got / have forgotten.
D) Are going to get / forgot.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct answer is
A) Will get / forget.
This option uses the future tense "will get" to indicate a predicted outcome, and "forget" in its base form to describe an action that would lead to losing. The sentence structure fits naturally with the context of the scenario.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct. Uses future tense for prediction and base form verb for the consequence.
Option B:
Incorrect. Past tense verbs do not fit the context of a predicted outcome.
Option C:
Incorrect. Present perfect tense does not fit the context as well as future tense.
Option D:
Incorrect. Uses "are going to" which is less common in this context compared to simple future "will".
7.
I want to borrow the book ..... you bought last week.
A) That.
B) Where.
C) Who.
D) When.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The sentence "I want to borrow the book ... you bought last week." requires a word that can introduce a noun clause, which is used to replace the noun phrase "the book" in this context. The correct choice here is
that
, as it serves as a relative pronoun and introduces the clause "you bought last week."
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct. "That" can introduce the noun clause.
Option B:
Incorrect. "Where" is a question word for location, not to introduce a noun clause.
Option C:
Incorrect. "Who" is used for people, not books or objects.
Option D:
Incorrect. "When" is a time adverb and does not function as an introducer of the noun clause here.
8.
Doctor:Have a seat, please ..... ?Patient:I feel something wrong with my stomach.
A) What can I do for you.
B) May I examine your stomach.
C) Can I buy a medicine for stomachache.
D) Do you go to the wrong place.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Option A is the most appropriate response for a doctor in this scenario. It sets a professional and welcoming tone, indicating that the doctor is ready to assist the patient. This opening line encourages the patient to elaborate on their concerns without being intrusive or presumptuous.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Sets a professional and inviting tone, prompting the patient to explain further.
Option B:
May be too direct and could make the patient feel uncomfortable before they have a chance to describe their symptoms fully.
Option C:
Is not appropriate as it suggests selling medicine without understanding the patient's condition, which is premature in this context.
Option D:
Is rude and dismissive, indicating that the doctor believes they are at the wrong place. This would be inappropriate given the patient’s statement about feeling unwell.
9.
Choose odd one out
A) Tent.
B) Torch.
C) Butterfly.
D) Pocket.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Butterfly does not fit the theme of "things that can be used for speaking" like the other options do. A tent, torch (flashlight), and pocket are all items that could potentially be used in a speaking context, such as during a presentation or conversation about practical tools.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Tent - Can be discussed in terms of setting up for a speech or presentation.
Option B:
Torch - Often used metaphorically to highlight key points in speaking.
Option C:
Butterfly - Not typically associated with speaking tools or techniques.
Option D:
Pocket - Can be relevant for carrying notes or devices during a speech.

A) How do I get to?.
B) Do how I get to?.
C) Where is the police station?.
D) Can you help me?.
E) Can you please tell me can how I go to?.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Option A is correct because it initiates a question about directions, which aligns with the response given by B: "Go straight until you reach the traffic lights." This type of question is typical in flyers where people seek information on how to get somewhere.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
How do I get to? - Initiates a query for directions, fitting the context.
Option B:
Do how I get to? - Grammatically incorrect and does not make sense in this context.
Option C:
Where is the police station? - Does not match the response given by B about Central Plaza directions.
Option D:
Can you help me? - Too vague; doesn't specify what kind of help is needed for the direction request.
Option E:
Can you please tell me can how I go to? - Grammatically incorrect and repetitive, making it confusing.

A) What's your father do?.
B) What do you do?.
C) Where were you born?.
D) How do you do?.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The dialogue provided is a simple greeting and exchange between two people, Jim and John. The correct response to a formal greeting in English is "How do you do?" This phrase is traditionally used when meeting someone for the first time or as a polite acknowledgment of an existing acquaintance.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
What's your father do? - Incorrect. This option does not fit the context of greeting and exchange.
Option B:
What do you do? - Incorrect. While this is a common question in conversations, it is not typically used as an initial formal greeting.
Option C:
Where were you born? - Incorrect. This option does not fit the context of greeting and exchange.
Option D:
How do you do? - Correct. This is a traditional and appropriate response to a formal greeting in English.

A) When did the accident happen?.
B) What happen to your father?.
C) Did you call the ambulance?.
D) How did he do that?.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Option B is the most appropriate response as it directly addresses Sandy's situation and allows her to provide more details about what happened to her father, which she does by explaining that he lost his balance and fell to the floor.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Asks for a specific time, which is not relevant given the context of the conversation.
Option B:
Directly inquires about what happened to Sandy's father, prompting her to explain further.
Option C:
Involves an action (calling the ambulance) that has not been mentioned yet and might be premature without more information.
Option D:
Questions how he did it, which could interrupt Sandy's narrative about what happened.
13.
He's wearing .....
A) A trouser.
B) Tent.
C) Trousers.
D) A trousers.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct answer is
C) Trousers.
In English, when referring to pants as a general item of clothing, the plural form "trousers" is used instead of the singular "trouser." This follows the grammatical rule that certain types of clothing are typically referred to in their plural form.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect. The singular form "trouser" is not commonly used when referring to pants as a general item.
Option B:
Incorrect. "Tent" refers to a portable shelter, which is unrelated to clothing items like trousers.
Option C:
Correct. The plural form "trousers" is the appropriate term for pants in this context.
Option D:
Incorrect. Adding an article before "trousers" (i.e., "a trousers") is grammatically incorrect and not used in standard English.
14.

A) Understanding statements.
B) Responding with differences.
C) Understanding statements and responding with differences.

Option Analysis:
Option A:
Focuses only on understanding statements.
Option B:
Concentrates solely on responding with differences.
Option C:
Combines both understanding statements and responding with differences, which is essential for effective communication in "Flyers Speaking."
Option D:
Indicates no relevant skills are being tested, which contradicts the nature of "Flyers Speaking" exercises.
15.
The song that Sally sang was ..... '' The Shape of You"
A) Called.
B) Call.
C) Name.
D) Singing.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The song that Sally sang was "Called" is correct because the sentence requires a verb in its past participle form to agree with the passive voice construction. Here, "called" functions as an adjective describing which song Sally performed.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Called - Correct. Past participle used as an adjective.
Option B:
Call - Incorrect. Verb form does not fit the sentence structure.
Option C:
Name - Incorrect. Noun does not fit grammatically in this context.
Option D:
Singing - Incorrect. Gerund does not agree with "was" and does not describe which song was performed.
16.
There is a bat ..... the tent
A) Of.
B) Come out.
C) Above.
D) Fly.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct answer is
C) Above.
The phrase "There is a bat above the tent" implies that the bat is located in an elevated position relative to the tent, which fits the meaning of "above."
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Of - This preposition does not fit grammatically or contextually with the given sentence.
Option B:
Come out - This verb phrase describes an action, but it doesn't fit the structure of the incomplete sentence provided.
Option C:
Above - This correctly indicates a position relative to the tent, making it the appropriate choice.
Option D:
Fly - While this could be part of a complete sentence about a bat's action, it doesn't fit as an adjective or prepositional phrase in the given context.
17.

A) When she put her glasses.
B) Who she put her glasses.
C) Where she put her glasses.
D) Why she put her glasses.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct answer is C) Where she put her glasses because the sentence "My grandmother has forgotten" implies a memory lapse regarding the location of an object, specifically her glasses. This type of forgetfulness often involves misplacing items and not remembering where they were last placed.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect as it deals with timing, which is not related to forgetting a location.
Option B:
Incorrect as it concerns the identity of someone who put her glasses, irrelevant in this context.
Option C:
Correct for the reason explained above.
Option D:
Incorrect as it pertains to reasons behind an action, not a memory lapse about location.
18.
..... your favorite school subject? Music.
A) Why.
B) When.
C) What's.
D) How.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct answer is C) What's. The question "..... your favorite school subject? Music." is a fragment and should be completed with the appropriate interrogative word to form a complete question. "What's" fits grammatically as it introduces an open-ended question asking about identity or definition.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Why - Incorrect, as why would not fit in this context.
Option B:
When - Incorrect, as when does not make sense for a subject preference.
Option C:
What's - Correct, as it properly introduces the question about identity or definition of the favorite school subject.
Option D:
How - Incorrect, as how would imply asking about the method or manner, which is not suitable here.
19.

D) 5.
E) 4.
Show Answer

In the context of "Flyers Speaking," candidates are expected to identify and describe all differences between two given pictures accurately. If there are six distinct differences, then this is the precise number that must be mentioned.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct as it matches the specified number of differences.
Option B:
Incorrect; fewer than 6 differences would not fully answer the task requirements.
Option C:
Incorrect; this is less than the required number of differences.
Option D:

Incorrect; there are exactly 6 differences, making this option wrong.
20.
I'm not sure but I think my camera ..... broken.
A) May.
B) Might have.
C) Might be.
D) Might.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The correct answer is
C) Might be.
This option is the most appropriate because it uses a present tense verb "be" which fits better with the context of the sentence. The phrase "I think my camera might be broken" indicates a current possibility or uncertainty, making "might be" the best choice.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
"May" is in present tense but does not fit as well with the context of the sentence. It sounds less natural here.
Option B:
"Might have" implies a past possibility, which doesn't match the current uncertainty expressed in the sentence.
Option C:
"Might be" is correct as it indicates a present possibility or uncertainty.
Option D:
"Might" alone does not fit grammatically with the rest of the sentence, which requires a verb form to complete the thought.
21.
..... a word in private?
A) Might I.
B) May I not wear.
C) May not wear.
D) May I have.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Option D, "May I have," is correct because it properly forms a polite request for permission to speak in private. The phrase "may" introduces the question of permission, and "have" completes the sentence by asking about the ability or right to do something.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
"Might I" is grammatically incorrect as it does not form a complete request for permission.
Option B:
"May I not wear" is also grammatically incorrect and does not make sense in the context of asking for permission to speak privately.
Option C:
"May not wear" is incomplete and does not form a proper request for permission.
Option D:
"May I have," correctly forms a polite request for permission to speak in private.
22.
