She has been waiting for the bus _____ two hours.
Answer: for
'For' is used with a duration of time (two hours). 'Since' is used with a specific point in time (e.g., since noon).
If it _____ tomorrow, we will cancel the picnic.
Answer: rains
In a real conditional (Type 1) expressing a likely future possibility, the if-clause uses simple present tense.
Neither the students nor the teacher _____ ready for the exam.
Answer: is
With 'neither...nor', the verb agrees with the subject closest to it. 'The teacher' is singular, so the verb must be 'is'.
I am not used to _____ so early in the morning.
Answer: waking
After 'used to' when it means 'accustomed to', the verb must be in gerund (-ing) form.
The report must _____ before the meeting starts.
Answer: be submitted
The passive voice 'be submitted' is required here because the report is the object receiving the action, not the one performing it.
She speaks English very well, _____ she?
Answer: doesn't
Question tags use the auxiliary verb from the main clause. 'Speaks' uses auxiliary 'does', and since the statement is positive, the tag must be negative: 'doesn't she?'
