Detailed Explanations
She shouldn't be ashamed of it.
Correct answer: be
After modal verbs like "shouldn't," we use the base form of the verb. "To be" and "to ashamed" are incorrect forms.
He couldn't do it another way.
Correct answer: do
After modal verbs like "couldn't," we use the base form of the verb. "To do" and "doing" are incorrect forms.
They refuse to listen to you.
Correct answer: to listen
The verb "refuse" is followed by the infinitive with "to." "Listen" without "to" and "listens" are incorrect forms.
She said she had been there.
Correct answer: had been
In reported speech, we often backshift the tense. Past perfect "had been" is correct for the past of "have been."
Yes, she did it.
Correct answer: did
Past simple "did" is the correct form for completed actions. "Done" needs an auxiliary verb, and "do" is present tense.
I see you are good at English.
Correct answer: at
We use "good at" for skills and abilities. "For," "on," and "none" are not used with "good" in this context.
These employees are paid less.
Correct answer: are paid
Present simple passive voice is correct here. "Is" doesn't agree with plural "employees," and "was" is past tense.
I will get tired very quickly if nothing changes.
Correct answer: changes
First conditional uses present simple in the if-clause. "Will change" and "was change" are incorrect verb forms.
There is too much injustice in the world.
Correct answer: much
"Much" is used with uncountable nouns like "injustice." "Many" is for countable nouns, and "a lot" needs "of."
We must solve this as soon as possible.
Correct answer: solve
After modal verbs like "must," we use the base form of the verb. "To solve" and "solves" are incorrect forms.
He apologised for being late.
Correct answer: for
The verb "apologise" is followed by the preposition "for." "Of" and "on" are not used with "apologised" in this context.
She turned into a confident speaker over the years.
Correct answer: into
"Turn into" means to transform or become. "In" and "to" don't create the correct phrasal verb for this context.
We plan to start early tomorrow.
Correct answer: to start
The verb "plan" is followed by the infinitive with "to." "Start" and "starting" are incorrect forms after "plan."
The meeting was postponed because the manager was ill.
Correct answer: because
"Because" is followed by a clause. "Because of" is followed by a noun phrase, and "due" needs "to" ("due to").
They were discussing the issue while walking home.
Correct answer: while
"While" is used with continuous actions happening at the same time. "As" and "during" are not used with gerunds in this way.
