Question 1

Choose the correct option: "The children were made ___ their rooms before dinner."

Accepted Answer

to clean

Answer

In the active voice 'make' takes a bare infinitive, but in the passive it takes 'to' + infinitive.

Question 2

Choose the correct option: "Each of the workshop participants ___ a certificate at the end of the course."

Accepted Answer

receives

Answer

'Each' is singular, so the verb must be singular even when a plural noun follows 'of.'

Question 3

Choose the correct option: "Had she studied harder, she ___ the final exam."

Accepted Answer

would have passed

Answer

This is an inverted third conditional, so the main clause needs 'would have' + past participle.

Question 4

Choose the correct option: "I'm really looking forward to ___ you at the conference next month."

Accepted Answer

meeting

Answer

In 'look forward to,' 'to' is a preposition and must be followed by a gerund.
