Step-by-step solution for: Engage Your Student! Augmented Reality 7th Grade English - Context Clues
Let's go through each question in the Grammar Worksheet Grade 7 and solve it step by step with explanations.
---
A. work
B. working
C. has worked
D. works
✔ Correct answer: D. works
Explanation:
The subject is "my elder brother" (singular), so we need a singular verb. The sentence is in the present simple tense, describing a current job. "Works" is the correct form.
✘ A ("work") is plural.
✘ B ("working") is a present participle — not used here without an auxiliary verb.
✘ C ("has worked") is present perfect, but this doesn't fit unless we're emphasizing experience up to now; the sentence seems general.
---
A. standing
B. am standing
C. to stand
D. stand
✔ Correct answer: D. stand
Explanation:
After modal verbs like "can't", we use the base form of the verb. So "I can't stand..." is correct.
✘ A & B are incorrect forms after "can't".
✘ C ("to stand") would be used after "want", "decide", etc., not after "can't".
---
A. am I
B. aren’t I
C. am I not
D. was I
✔ Correct answer: B. aren’t I
Explanation:
This is a tag question. The rule is: if the main clause is positive, the tag is negative.
"I'm very exhausted" → positive, so the tag should be negative: "aren't I?"
Note: "I'm" uses "am", but the tag uses "aren't I" (a common contraction).
✘ A ("am I") would be positive tag, which contradicts the rule.
✘ C ("am I not") is grammatically correct but too formal and not commonly used.
✘ D ("was I") is past tense — wrong tense.
---
A. any
B. some
C. much
D. many
✔ Correct answer: B. some
Explanation:
"Have" is followed by a noun. "Fruit" is uncountable, so we use "some" or "much", not "many" (which is for countable nouns).
But "any" is used in questions or negatives; here, it's a positive statement.
So "some fruit" is correct.
✘ A ("any") – used in questions/negatives.
✘ C ("much") – possible in questions/negatives, but "some" is better in positive statements.
✘ D ("many") – only for countable nouns (e.g., "many apples").
---
A. As
B. Although
C. In spite
D. Despite
✔ Correct answer: D. Despite
Explanation:
We need a preposition that introduces a contrast. "Despite" is followed directly by a noun phrase: "Despite his fluency..."
"Although" is a conjunction and needs a clause: "Although he is fluent..."
"In spite" must be followed by "of": "In spite of his fluency..."
"As" doesn't make sense here.
So D is correct.
✘ A: "As" doesn't fit the context.
✘ B: "Although" requires a complete clause.
✘ C: Missing "of" — "in spite" alone is incorrect.
---
A. use to
B. is used to
C. used to
D. used
✔ Correct answer: C. used to
Explanation:
"Used to" means something you did regularly in the past.
"Used to drink coffee" = I drank coffee regularly in the past.
✘ A: "use to" is incorrect grammar.
✘ B: "is used to" means being accustomed to something (e.g., "I am used to coffee").
✘ D: "used" alone is incomplete.
---
A. complete
B. have completed
C. be completing
D. completing
✔ Correct answer: B. have completed
Explanation:
"By the end of this year" indicates a future time, and we want to show that the action will be finished by then.
So we use future perfect: "will have completed".
✘ A: "complete" is simple future — doesn't express completion.
✘ C: "be completing" implies ongoing action.
✘ D: "completing" is not a full verb form.
---
A. How long
B. How far
C. How much
D. How often
✔ Correct answer: D. How often
Explanation:
The question is asking about frequency. "How often" = how frequently?
"Meet" is a repeated action — e.g., "They meet weekly."
✘ A: "How long" asks about duration (e.g., "How long does the meeting last?")
✘ B: "How far" = distance
✘ C: "How much" = quantity (for uncountable nouns)
---
A. In
B. on
C. of
D. for
✔ Correct answer: B. on
Explanation:
We say "on the Internet" — fixed expression.
✘ A: "in the Internet" is incorrect.
✘ C: "of the Internet" doesn't make sense.
✘ D: "for the Internet" suggests purpose, not location.
---
A. so
B. enough
C. such
D. too
✔ Correct answer: C. such
Explanation:
This is a "such...that" structure.
"Such + noun + that..." = "It was such an interesting film that..."
"so" is used before adjectives/adverbs: "so interesting a film that..." — but the sentence says "an interesting film", so "such" fits better.
✘ A: "so" would require "so interesting a film" — awkward here.
✘ B: "enough" doesn't fit the structure.
✘ D: "too" means excessive — doesn't match meaning.

✔ Correct answer: B. aren’t I

4. Doctors always advise people to have _____________ fruit.
A. any
B. some
C. much
D. many
✔ Correct answer: B. some
Explanation:
"Have" is followed by a noun. "Fruit" is uncountable, so we use "some" or "much", not "many" (which is for countable nouns).
But "any" is used in questions or negatives; here, it's a positive statement.
So "some fruit" is correct.
✘ A ("any") – used in questions/negatives.
✘ C ("much") – possible in questions/negatives, but "some" is better in positive statements.
✘ D ("many") – only for countable nouns (e.g., "many apples").

5. __________ his fluency in English, my friend hesitates to talk.
A. As
B. Although

✔ Correct answer: D. Despite
Explanation:
We need a preposition that introduces a contrast. "Despite" is followed directly by a noun phrase: "Despite his fluency..."
"Although" is a conjunction and needs a clause: "Although he is fluent..."
"In spite" must be followed by "of": "In spite of his fluency..."
"As" doesn't make sense here.
So D is correct.
✘ A: "As" doesn't fit the context.
✘ B: "Although" requires a complete clause.
✘ C: Missing "of" — "in spite" alone is incorrect.
