  1. Which is the correct collocation?

    Answer: do research

    'Do research' is the correct collocation — research collocates with 'do'.

  2. Choose the correct collocation: 'The suspect was ___ custody.'

    Answer: in

    'In custody' is the correct collocation — criminals/suspects are 'in custody', not 'under', 'at', or 'by' custody.

  3. Which sentence contains an incorrect collocation?

    Answer: We made a progress this quarter.

    'Make a progress' is incorrect — 'progress' is uncountable and the collocation is 'make progress' (no article).

  4. Complete the collocation: 'The news came as a complete ___.'

    Answer: surprise

    'A complete surprise' is the natural collocation. 'Amazement', 'astonishment', and 'wonder' don't typically follow 'complete' in this structure.

  5. Which adverb correctly collocates with the adjective? 'He is ___ committed to the project.'

    Answer: highly

    'Highly committed' is the natural collocation — 'highly' intensifies adjectives related to positive qualities.

  6. Choose the correct collocation: 'The company launched a new ___ campaign.'

    Answer: advertising

    'Advertising campaign' is the correct compound noun collocation.
