571. How much longer__________this book?

• A. you are needing
• B. will you be needing
• C. will you have needing
• D. have you needing

Explanation: “Will you be needing” is the future continuous and can politely ask about the continued need for the book. The other options are grammatically incomplete or incorrectly formed.

572. I ____________a single word he says

• A. not believe
• B. don't believe
• C. am not believing
• D. will not believe

Explanation: “Believe” is generally a stative verb, so it normally takes the simple present rather than the continuous form. “I don’t believe” correctly expresses the speaker’s present opinion.

573. The farmers ____________their farms, if they had known that a thunderstorm was approaching.

• A. will leave
• B. would leave
• C. will have left
• D. would have left

Explanation: This is a third conditional: “if they had known” refers to an unreal past condition, so the result takes “would have left.” “Will” forms do not match the past hypothetical situation.

574. If you had followed the rules, you ____________disqualified.

• A. will not be
• B. would not be
• C. will not have been
• D. would not have been

Explanation: This is a third conditional: the past condition “had followed” takes “would not have been” for its imagined past result. “Would not be” refers to a present or future result instead.

575. The housewife __________the cakes burning, and ran to switch off the oven.

• A. smell
• B. smells
• C. smelt
• D. smelling

Explanation: The past-tense verb “smelt” agrees with the past action “ran.” “Smell” and “smells” are present forms, while “smelling” cannot serve as the main verb here.

576. If we go to the park, __________you like to come too ?

• A. shall
• B. are
• C. would
• D. am

Explanation: “Would you like to come?” is the standard polite form for making an invitation or asking about someone's preference. The other options do not form this expression.

577. He _________ in Pakistan.

• A. live
• B. lives
• C. is living
• D. living

Explanation: “Lives” is the simple present form used with “he” for a habitual or general fact. “Live” does not agree with the singular subject, while “is living” would suggest a temporary situation.

578. She hurried to the supermarket _____ she might get some things _____ it closed.

• A. in order to; before
• B. so that; before
• C. for; by
• D. so that; at

Explanation: “So that” introduces the purpose of hurrying, while “before” sets the deadline created by the supermarket’s closing. “In order to” would need a verb form such as “get,” not “might get.”

579. I'll come to meet you at the station in my car _________ you do not have to walk to my house.

• A. So that
• B. In order
• C. That
• D. Because

Explanation: “So that” introduces the purpose of coming by car: the speaker comes by car in order to prevent the listener from walking. “Because” would give a reason rather than a purpose, and “in order” is incomplete without “to.”

580. ___________ you work very hard, you cannot pass. (KPPSC 2018 paper)

• A. Unless
• B. Until
• C. While
• D. As if

Explanation: “Unless” means “if not,” so the sentence means that passing is impossible if you do not work very hard. “Until” refers to time, not a condition.
