1. Brian kicked the ball so hard that it flew _________ the fence.
(1) in
(2) on
(3) over
✔ Correct answer: (3) over
Explanation: The phrase "flew over the fence" is the correct prepositional phrase to describe something going above and beyond a barrier. "In" and "on" don't make sense here — you can't fly *in* or *on* a fence in this context. "Over" indicates movement above and across the fence.

2. “Please put _________ pencil in the lost-and-found box,” Mrs Tan told Jimmy as she passed him the pencil.
(1) this
(2) that
(3) these
✔ Correct answer: (1) this
Explanation: Since Mrs Tan is passing the pencil to Jimmy, she is referring to the pencil that is close to her or being handed over. "This" is used for something near the speaker. "That" would be used if the object were farther away. "These" is plural, but only one pencil is mentioned.

3. Ben eats _________ apple for dinner every day.
(1) a
(2) an
(3) the
✔ Correct answer: (2) an
Explanation: We use "an" before words that start with a vowel sound. "Apple" starts with a vowel sound (/æ/), so we use "an". "A" is used before consonant sounds. "The" would imply a specific apple, but the sentence refers to any apple generally.

4. Mrs Lim asked, “_________ bicycle is this?” Peter replied, “It is Uncle Jimmy’s.”
(1) Who
(2) What
(3) Whose
✔ Correct answer: (3) Whose
Explanation: The question is asking about ownership. "Whose" is the possessive form of "who" and is used to ask who owns something. "Who" asks about identity, and "what" asks about type or nature. Since the answer is "Uncle Jimmy’s", the question must be about possession.

5. My brother cries when _________ is hungry.
(1) it
(2) he

✔ Correct answer: (2) he
Explanation: The subject is "my brother", which is male. Therefore, the pronoun should be "he" to match the gender and person. "She" is female, and "it" is used for animals or objects, not people.
