Here’s the correct answer for each question with a clear explanation:
---
1. YOU CAN __________ OR ANSWER QUESTIONS.
✔ Correct Answer:
D. ask
Explanation:
The phrase “ask questions” is a common collocation in English. You *ask* questions and *answer* questions. The other options don’t fit grammatically or idiomatically:
- *quote* = to repeat someone’s words
- *tell* = to give information (e.g., tell a story)
- *say* = to speak words, but not usually “say questions”
👉 So,
“You can ask or answer questions.” is correct.

2. THIS IS MY BROTHER. ________ NAME IS JOHN.
✔ Correct Answer:
C. His
Explanation:
“Brother” is male, so we use the possessive pronoun
his to show ownership of the name.
- *Her* → for females
- *Their* → plural or gender-neutral
- *Our* → belonging to us
👉 “His name is John.” — correct and natural.
---
3. THIS IS MY BEST FRIEND. ________ NAME IS ANNA.
✔ Correct Answer:
D. Her
Explanation:
“Anna” is a female name, so we use the possessive pronoun
her.
- *His* → male
- *She* → subject pronoun (not possessive)
- *She’s* = She is — doesn’t fit before “name”
👉 “Her name is Anna.” — correct.

4. I ________ COLD.
✔ Correct Answer:
D. am
Explanation:
“I am cold” is the correct way to express a state of being. “Cold” here is an adjective describing how you feel.
- *is* → used with he/she/it
- *have* / *has* → used for possession or actions, not states like “cold”
👉 “I am cold.” — correct.

5. MY MOTHER ________ 50.
✔ Correct Answer:
B. is
Explanation:
We use “is” to describe age: “My mother is 50.”
- *has* → would be incorrect (“has 50” implies possession, not age)
- *am* → used with “I”
- *are* → used with “you”, “we”, “they”
👉 “My mother is 50.” — correct.
---
6. MY COUSIN ________ A NICE LITTLE DOG.
✔ Correct Answer:
A. has
Explanation:
This sentence is about possession — your cousin owns a dog. So we use
has (third person singular).
- *is* → would mean the cousin *is* a dog — incorrect
- *have* → used with I/you/we/they — not third person singular
- *play* → verb doesn’t fit without “plays” and still wouldn’t make sense with “a nice little dog”
👉 “My cousin has a nice little dog.” — correct.
