Let’s go through each question step by step.

Question 1: Choose the words which has underlined parts pronounced differently
We need to look at the underlined letters and see which word sounds different from the others in its group.
Row 1: A. wet market, B. prefer, C. plentiful, D. get
- “wet” → /wɛt/ — short e sound
- “prefer” → /prɪˈfɜːr/ — first ‘e’ is short i sound (in some accents), but actually here we’re looking at the *underlined* part. Wait — let’s check what’s underlined.
Actually, looking again — in the original image, it seems like the underlined parts are:
In row 1:
A. wet market → underline on “w”? That doesn’t make sense for pronunciation difference.
Wait — maybe it’s the vowel? Let me re-read.
Actually, in standard tests like this, they usually underline a letter or group that affects pronunciation. Since the text says “underlined parts”, and in plain text we can’t see underlines, I’ll assume based on common patterns.
Looking at typical questions:
For row 1:
A. wet → /ɛ/
B. prefer → first ‘e’ is /ɪ/, second ‘e’ is silent or schwa — but if underlined is “pre”, then /prɪ/
C. plentiful → “plen” → /plɛn/
D. get → /ɡɛt/
So if we compare the vowel sound in the first syllable:
- wet → /ɛ/
- prefer → /ɪ/ (if underlining “pre”)
- plentiful → /ɛ/
- get → /ɛ/
Then “prefer” is different → answer is B
But wait — maybe the underline is on the “e” in each?
Let’s try that:
A. wet → /ɛ/
B. prefer → /ɪ/ (first e)
C. plentiful → /ɛ/
D. get → /ɛ/
Yes — so B is different → B
Now row 2:
A. danger → /ˈdeɪndʒər/ — “a” is /eɪ/
B. angry → /ˈæŋɡri/ — “a” is /æ/
C. language → /ˈlæŋɡwɪdʒ/ — “a” is /æ/
D. passage → /ˈpæsɪdʒ/ — “a” is /æ/
So A (“danger”) has /eɪ/, others have /æ/ → answer is A
So Question 1 answers:
1. B
2. A

Question 2: Choose the best answer A, B, C or D
1. He is strong enough ........... this box.
“Enough” is followed by “to + verb” when talking about ability.
→ “strong enough to lift”
Answer: C. to lift
---
2. I like ............... Chinese very much.
After “like”, we use either noun or gerund (-ing form).
“Study” is a verb → should be “studying”
Also, option C is repeated as “studies” — probably typo, but D is “studying”
Answer: D. studying
---
3. He used to ............... the guitar when he was a student.
“Used to” is always followed by base verb (infinitive without “to”)
→ “used to play”
Answer: A. play
---
4. My brother speaks English very .................

“Fluently” is the adverb form of “fluent”
“Easy” and “bad” are adjectives — not correct here.
“Fluent” is adjective — wrong.
Answer: C. fluently
---
5. Hoa's pen is different ................. mine.
Correct phrase: “different from”
Not “different to” or “different with” — though sometimes “to” is used in British English, “from” is standard in most curricula.
