6211. The earth _ to be moving.

Moderate
  • A. Seem
  • B. Seemed
  • C. Seeming
  • D. Seems

Explanation: Seem means 'appear in a particular way'. We can use it as a linking verb (like be) or with a to-infinitive. Seems is used for singular nouns i.e. earth. We do not normally use seem in the continuous form: She seems very young to be a teacher.

Correct answer: Seems

Moderate
  • A. Used
  • B. Was used
  • C. Had used
  • D. Has been used

Explanation: The simple rule is that "is" is present tense and "was" is past tense. If it's happening now, you use "is". If it happened in the past, you use "was".

Correct answer: Was used

Moderate

6215. Either my father or my brothers _ going to sell the car.

Moderate
  • A. Is
  • B. Are
  • C. Were
  • D. Was

Explanation: If a sentence has two subjects connected by or/nor, either/or, or neither/nor, the verb must agree with the later subject (in this case, 'brothers'). As the subject is plural, the verb must also be plural.

Correct answer: Are

6216. Neither they nor their friend _ solved the question.

Moderate
  • A. Has
  • B. Have
  • C. Was
  • D. Were

Explanation: In this sentence, 'neither...nor' indicates that the verb should agree with the subject that is closest to it. Since 'friend' is singular, the correct verb is 'has.' The other options are incorrect: 'Have' would be used if the subject closest to the verb were plural; 'Was' and 'Were' do not fit because they do not appropriately express the current action of solving the question.

Correct answer: Has

6217. Complete the sentences by choosing the most appropriate option, from the given lettered choices (A to D) below each. The recent discoveries of medical science have_ life and health to millions of people.

Moderate
  • A. Brought
  • B. Bring
  • C. Had bought
  • D. Bringing

Explanation: The question is talking about a thing that has already happened, so bringing and bring would not be correct options. Option C changes the word to "bought" which has a totally different meaning so is incorrect. So option A is correct.

Correct answer: Brought

6218. Ahmed _ me for a long time.

Moderate
  • A. Know
  • B. Has known
  • C. Knows
  • D. Knew

Explanation: The most appropriate word to fill in the blank would be "has known."The complete sentence would be: "Ahmed has known me for a long time."Using the present perfect tense "has known" indicates that Ahmed developed knowledge or familiarity with the speaker in the past and that this knowledge or familiarity has continued up until the present time.

Correct answer: Has known

6219. Complete the sentences by choosing the most appropriate option, from the given lettered choices.Our football team has _ the remarkable feat of winning the championship for three years in succession.

Moderate
  • A. Brought in
  • B. Brought off
  • C. Had brought
  • D. Have brought
  • E. Brought to

Explanation: The correct sentence is: 'Our football team has brought off the remarkable feat of winning the championship for three years in succession.' The phrase 'brought off' means to successfully achieve something difficult, which aligns with the context of the football team winning the championship repeatedly. Other options such as 'brought in', 'had brought', and 'brought to' do not convey this meaning. 'Have brought' is incorrect due to subject-verb agreement issues.

Correct answer: Brought off

6220. Complete the sentence by choosing the most appropriate option:There _ many students waiting to hear the results of the test.

Moderate
  • A. Has
  • B. Have
  • C. Was
  • D. Are

Explanation: Students are plural. So, the helping verb should also be plural, which are "have" and "are".Have can not be used here because it is used in perfect tense which has the 3rd form of verb while here we have the continuous form of verb i.e. "waiting". So, the answer is D.

Correct answer: Are
