Let’s go through each question one by one and pick the correct answer.
---
10. We can’t buy a house unless we take out a(n) ______.
- “Take out” here means to get or arrange something, like a loan.
- To buy a house, most people need a
mortgage — that’s a special loan for buying property.
- Credit, overdraft, and investment don’t fit as well in this context.
✔ Correct:
A. mortgage
---
11. Of course ______ I meant missed opportunities.
- The phrase is “Of course ___ I meant...” — it needs a noun phrase to complete the thought.
- “The losses” makes sense — “Of course the losses I meant...” → meaning “I was talking about the losses (missed opportunities).”
- Other options are grammatically wrong or awkward.
✔ Correct:
D. the losses
---
12. Do you know how long ______ going to stay in Italy?
- This is a question inside another question (“Do you know...”), so word order changes.
- Subject = Jack and Suzy → plural → verb should be “are”
- In indirect questions, we say: “how long Jack and Suzy are going to stay…”
✔ Correct:
C. Jack and Suzy are

13. What ______ they ______ last week?
- “Last week” = past tense.
- For questions in past simple with “what”, we use “did” + base verb.
- So: “What did they play last week?”
✔ Correct:
B. did/ play
---
14. What ______ Hoa ______ yesterday?
- “Yesterday” = past tense.
- Again, question form: “did” + base verb.
- “Try” is the base verb; “tried” is past, but after “did” we use base form.
✔ Correct:
A. did/ try
*(Note: Option C says “tryed” — that’s misspelled. Should be “tried”, but even then, it’s wrong because after “did” we use base verb.)*

15. Who ______ about the film on TV last Monday?
- “Last Monday” = past tense.
- “Who” is subject → no auxiliary needed if it’s the subject.
- So: “Who talked...” — simple past.
✔ Correct:
C. talked
---
16. Where ______ they ______ on their way back last Sunday?
- “Last Sunday” = past tense.
- Question with “where” → use “did” + base verb.
- “Stop” is base verb → “did they stop”
✔ Correct:
A. did/ stop
---
17. What ______ the student ______ at school two years ago?
- “Two years ago” = past tense.
- Question → “did” + base verb.
- “Wear” is base verb → “did the student wear”
✔ Correct:
B. did/wear
