1Choose the correct synonym of 'Diligent'.
A.Lazy
B.Hardworking
C.Careless
D.Timid
Explanation: Diligent means showing care and effort in one's work. 'Hardworking' is the closest synonym. Lazy is an antonym, while careless and timid describe different traits.
2Choose the antonym of 'Transparent'.
A.Clear
B.Opaque
C.Bright
D.Smooth
Explanation: Transparent means allowing light to pass through so objects can be seen clearly. 'Opaque' means not allowing light through, making it the best antonym.
3Identify the part of speech of the underlined word: 'The children played happily in the garden.'
A.Adjective
B.Adverb
C.Noun
D.Verb
Explanation: 'Happily' modifies the verb 'played' by describing how the action was done, so it is an adverb. Adverbs often end in -ly.
4Choose the correctly punctuated sentence.
A.its raining outside.
B.It's raining outside.
C.Its raining outside?
D.Its' raining outside.
Explanation: 'It's' is the contraction of 'it is.' A statement needs a capital letter and a full stop: 'It's raining outside.'
5Fill in the blank with the correct article: 'She is ___ honest teacher.'
A.a
B.an
C.the
D.no article
Explanation: Before words beginning with a vowel sound, 'an' is used. 'Honest' starts with a silent 'h' and sounds like it begins with 'o,' so 'an' is correct.
6What is the plural form of 'child'?
A.childs
B.childes
C.children
D.childrens
Explanation: 'Child' is an irregular noun; its plural is 'children,' not formed by adding -s or -es.
7Choose the correct past tense of 'teach'.
A.teached
B.taught
C.teaching
D.teaches
Explanation: 'Teach' is an irregular verb; its simple past tense is 'taught,' not 'teached.'
8Which word is a conjunction in this sentence? 'Ali and Sara completed the assignment.'
A.Ali
B.and
C.completed
D.assignment
Explanation: 'And' joins two nouns (Ali and Sara), functioning as a coordinating conjunction.

A.He said that he is preparing for the CT test.
B.He said that he was preparing for the CT test.
C.He said that I was preparing for the CT test.
D.He said that he will prepare for the CT test.
Explanation: When the reporting verb is past ('said'), the present tense 'am preparing' shifts to past continuous 'was preparing,' and the pronoun changes from 'I' to 'he.'
10Identify the type of sentence: 'What a beautiful classroom!'
A.Declarative
B.Interrogative
C.Imperative
D.Exclamatory
Explanation: Sentences expressing strong emotion and ending with an exclamation mark are exclamatory. 'What a beautiful classroom!' shows admiration.
