Question 1

Hannah would _________ her younger sister into an argument by mocking her and calling her names.

Accepted Answer

provoke

Answer

To "provoke" means to intentionally make someone angry or incite them to do something, often leading to a strong reaction like an argument. Hannah's actions of mocking and calling names are designed to instigate her sister, making "provoke" the most fitting verb to complete the sentence.

Question 2

Cath and Donald have a tremendous fan base ________ are superb football players, and both of them will be attending the interview __________ on Sunday.

Accepted Answer

as they, here on

Answer

The correct pronoun to refer to Cath and Donald as superb football players is "they," as it acts as the subject of the implied clause "as they are superb football players." For the interview, "here on Sunday" correctly specifies both the location and the day. Thus, "as they, here on" creates a grammatically sound and coherent sentence.

Question 3

You will receive the chocolates ___________ you follow my instructions.

Accepted Answer

As long as

Answer

The phrase "as long as" is a conjunction that means "provided that" or "on the condition that." It correctly establishes the condition under which the chocolates will be received: following the instructions. The other options do not convey this necessary conditional meaning.

Question 4

Perhaps he thought she had equal ________ to the money he had collected before they married, but she didn't, especially now.

Accepted Answer

Rights

Answer

The sentence discusses entitlement to money, and "rights" refers to a legal or moral claim to something. Therefore, "equal rights to the money" is the most appropriate and grammatically correct phrase in this context. The other options like incompetency, ineptness, or liberty do not fit the meaning of entitlement.

Question 5

The pupils ___________ me always as they leave the classroom for lunch.

Accepted Answer

Disturb

Answer

The subject "The pupils" is plural, and the adverb "always" indicates a habitual action in the present tense. For a plural subject in the simple present tense, the verb takes its base form without an "-s" ending. Therefore, "disturb" is the correct verb conjugation.
