Examining the English Quiz Questions
In this image, we can see part of an English quiz or test with multiple-choice questions. Let’s analyze the answers marked on the quiz.
Question 1:
She used to - - - - every night in the past.
A) wash her clothes near the river
B) listen to the radio and records
C) do the errands by hand
D) walk a long way to the school
The marked answer is B) listen to the radio and records. This appears to be a suitable choice because “used to” indicates a habitual action in the past, and listening to the radio is a common nightly activity.
Question 5:
While I was waiting for a taxi yesterday, a car - - - - into a tree.
A) crashed
B) crashes
C) has crashed
D) had crashed
The marked answer is D) had crashed. However, the correct answer should be A) crashed because the past continuous tense “was waiting” should be followed by the simple past tense “crashed” to describe the event that happened simultaneously.
Question 6:
After Sally Ride - - - - for NASA’s space program, she was selected for the program out of the 8000 applicants.
A) applied
B) applies
C) was applying
D) had applied
The marked answer is D) had applied. This is correct because “had applied” indicates that the action of applying occurred before she was selected.
These questions are beneficial for understanding tense and habitual actions in English. It is important to carefully read the context when choosing the correct tense.
