1Choose the word that best completes the sentence: "I'll put the box on the seat ______ you and me."

A.among

B.between

C.within

D.in front

Explanation: "Between" is used when referring to two distinct people or things, here "you and me." The preposition correctly shows the box's position relative to two seated people.

2Choose the option that best completes the sentence: "The Himalayan mountains are believed ______ about fifty million years ago."

A.to have been formed

B.that were formed

C.forming

D.to form

Explanation: After "are believed," an infinitive is required, and because the forming happened in the past, the perfect passive infinitive "to have been formed" is correct. It expresses a completed past action in a passive structure.

3Choose the option that best completes the sentence: "It is very appropriate that Mary won the award for ______ student paper."

A.a better

B.better

C.the best

D.best of

Explanation: A superlative comparing one paper to all others uses "the best" with the definite article. This identifies Mary's paper as the top one among all student papers.

4Choose the option that best completes the sentence: "All ______ access to clean, safe drinking water."

A.people should

B.people should have

C.should have people

D.should people have

Explanation: A standard affirmative statement uses subject + modal + main verb: "All people should have." The word "access" needs the verb "have" to complete the meaning.

5Choose the word that best completes the sentence: "The costumes for the upcoming theater performance are ______ complete."

A.almost

B.soon

C.yet

D.far

Explanation: "Almost" is an adverb of degree meaning nearly, and it fits naturally before the adjective "complete" to mean nearly finished. It modifies how close the costumes are to being done.

6Choose the option that best completes the sentence: "If I ______ more time yesterday, I would have finished the report."

A.have had

B.had had

C.would have

D.had

Explanation: This is a third conditional describing an unreal past situation, so the "if" clause uses the past perfect "had had." The main clause "would have finished" confirms the third-conditional structure.

7Choose the option that best completes the sentence: "She asked me ______ I had finished the assignment."

A.that

B.what

C.whether

D.which

Explanation: "Whether" introduces an indirect yes/no question, which is what "had finished the assignment" represents. It correctly reports a question that could be answered yes or no.

8Choose the option that best completes the sentence: "The manager, ______ office is on the third floor, will see you now."

A.who

B.whose

C.which

D.whom

Explanation: "Whose" is the possessive relative pronoun, showing that the office belongs to the manager. It correctly links the manager to the office in the relative clause.

9Choose the option that best completes the sentence: "By the time we arrived, the train ______."

A.already left

B.has already left

C.had already left

D.was already leaving

Explanation: The past perfect "had already left" shows that the train's departure happened before the past moment of arriving. It correctly orders two past events.

10Choose the option that best completes the sentence: "I'm not used to ______ up so early every morning."

A.get

B.getting

C.got

D.gotten

Explanation: After "used to" meaning accustomed to, a gerund is required, so "getting" is correct. The "-ing" form follows the preposition "to" in this expression.

MET Study Tips from Top Performers

1Practice timed multiple-choice sets, since the Listening section moves continuously and the Reading section allots only 65 minutes for 50 questions.

2Review core grammar structures - tenses, conditionals, prepositions, relative clauses and word order - because 20 Reading questions are sentence-completion grammar items.

3Build vocabulary in context by reading informational texts, as the Reading section rewards knowing words from surrounding clues.

4For Listening, take notes during the longer conversations and talks (Parts 2 and 3), and listen for main idea, purpose and specific details.

5Practice the multiple-text reading by comparing and combining information across three linked passages, which several questions require.

6Always answer every question, since the MET does not deduct points for wrong answers, so guessing can only help.
