1. My elder brother ______________ for a large company.

A. work
B. working
C. has worked
D. works

✔ Correct answer: D. works

Explanation:
The subject "my elder brother" is singular, so we need a singular verb. The sentence is in the present simple tense (describing a current job), so "works" is correct.
- A. "work" – incorrect (plural verb)
- B. "working" – incorrect (present participle, not a full verb)
- C. "has worked" – past perfect, implies completed action, not suitable here
- D. "works" – correct ✔

2. I can’t ______________ in queues for a long time.

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.
- "I can't stand" → correct structure
- A & B: "standing" and "am standing" are present participles/continuous forms – incorrect after "can't"
- C. "to stand" – infinitive, but modals don’t take "to"
- D. "stand" – base verb, correct ✔

3. I’m very exhausted, ______?

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 → tag should be negative.
Also, "I am" → tag is "aren't I?" (not "am I not"?).
- A. "am I" – positive tag after positive statement → incorrect
- B. "aren’t I" – correct tag question ✔
- C. "am I not" – grammatically possible but too formal; not standard in spoken English
- D. "was I" – wrong tense (past) → incorrect

4. Doctors always advise people to have _____________ fruit.

A. any
B. some
C. much
D. many

✔ Correct answer: B. some

Explanation:
We're talking about fruit, which is an uncountable noun.
- "some" is used for both countable and uncountable nouns in positive sentences
- "any" is used in questions or negatives
- "much" is used in questions/negatives with uncountable nouns
- "many" is for countable nouns (e.g., "many apples")
So: "have some fruit" → correct ✔

5. __________ his fluency in English, my friend hesitates to talk.

A. As
B. Although
C. In spite
D. Despite

✔ Correct answer: D. Despite

Explanation:
"Despite" is followed by a noun or noun phrase.
"Despite his fluency..." → correct
- A. "As" – doesn't fit here
- B. "Although" – requires a clause: "Although he is fluent..." → but this would require a complete clause
- C. "In spite" – incomplete; must be "in spite of"
- D. "Despite" – correct ✔

6. I __________ drink coffee every morning but now I drink tea.

A. use to
B. is used to
C. used to
D. used

✔ Correct answer: C. used to

Explanation:
"Used to" means a past habit that no longer happens.
- "I used to drink coffee..." → correct
- A. "use to" – incorrect form (should be "used to")
- B. "is used to" – means "accustomed to" → e.g., "I am used to drinking tea"
- D. "used" – incomplete; needs "to"
So: "used to" is correct ✔

7. By the end of this year, students will __________ 12 years.

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 point in time, and the action will be completed by then.
We use the future perfect tense: "will have + past participle"
- "will have completed" → correct ✔
- A. "complete" – simple future, doesn't show completion
- C. "be completing" – continuous, doesn't express completion
- D. "completing" – incorrect grammar

8. __________ do the clerks meet?

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? → e.g., "They meet weekly"
- A. "How long" = duration (e.g., "How long do they meet?")
- B. "How far" = distance
- C. "How much" = quantity (for uncountable)
So: "How often" fits best ✔

9. Today, most people look up information ________ the Internet.

A. In
B. on
C. of
D. for

✔ Correct answer: B. on

Explanation:
We use "on the Internet" as a fixed prepositional phrase.
- "on" is correct ✔
- A. "in" – not used with Internet
- C. "of" – doesn't make sense
- D. "for" – incorrect preposition

---

10. It was ---------- an interesting film that many people watched it.

A. so
B. enough
C. such
D. too

✔ Correct answer: C. such

Explanation:
We use "such + adjective + noun" before a result clause introduced by "that".
- "Such an interesting film that..." → correct
- "So" is used before adjectives/adverbs: "so interesting a film" (less common)
But the structure here is: "such + article + adjective + noun" → "such an interesting film" ✔
- A. "so" – would require "so interesting a film" (awkward and less common)
- B. "enough" – doesn't fit the structure
- D. "too" – means "excessively", not appropriate here
