Analysis and Correct Answers for the English Questions in the Image
Question 7
Sentence:
“Humans have long been passionate about horse racing. Spanish, French, and other cultures have incorporated horse racing as a sport or recreation, but the Anglo-Irish tradition most heavily influenced what ---- the American horse racing experience.”
Options:
A) becomes
B) had become
C) has become
D) would become
E) will become
Correct answer: C) has become
Explanation: The present perfect tense “has become” fits best because the Anglo-Irish tradition has influenced the American horse racing experience up to the present. The use of “most heavily influenced” suggests a connection continuing to the present.
Question 8
Sentence:
“Then I saw him suddenly taken from the surroundings he ---- since childhood and sent away to fight for reasons all of which were not quite clear in his mind.”
Options:
A) has known
B) knows
C) knew
D) would know
E) had known
Correct answer: E) had known
Explanation: The past perfect “had known” is correct because the reference is to a period before the past event ‘I saw him’. It indicates that he had known those surroundings before being taken away.
Question 9
Sentence:
“In late April 1916 British Major General Charles Townshend ---- into captivity aboard an Ottoman boat up the Tigris River, while the 13,000 surviving men of his division undertook a brutal march, most later perishing in Turkish prison camps.”
Options:
A) were riding
B) rode
C) had ridden
D) had been riding
E) have ridden
Correct answer: B) rode
Explanation: The simple past “rode” is appropriate here to denote a specific event in the past — when Charles Townshend was captured. Past continuous or past perfect tenses are less suitable because the sentence narrates a completed event.

Sık Sorulan Sorular
1. Neden question 7’de continuous ya da past tense kullanılmaz?
Çünkü cümlede Anglo-Irish geleneğinin Amerikan at yarışına “şimdiye kadar” yaptığı etkiden bahsediliyor ve tamamlanmış ancak etkisi süren bir durum anlatılıyor. Bu yüzden present perfect (“has become”) tercih edilir.
2. Question 8 neden past perfect (“had known”) ile çözülür?
Past perfect, geçmişteki bir olaydan daha önce gerçekleşmiş durumu anlatır. Burada “ben onu gördüğümde” olayından önce çevreyi tanıdığı vurgulanmaktadır.
3. Question 9 için neden simple past (“rode”) doğru?
Çünkü olay, geçmişte belli bir zamanda gerçekleşmiş ve tamamlanmış bir eylemdir. Diğer seçenekler daha farklı zaman kiplerine uygundur, fakat anlatım açısından basit geçmiş tercih edilir.
