Question 1: ______ had you taken the car?
Options: a) Why, b) What, c) Where
→ The picture shows people with steam coming from their heads — maybe they’re angry or upset. So we’re probably asking for a *reason*.
“Why” asks for a reason.
✔ Correct answer: a) Why

Question 2: ______ do you want to join this company?
Options: a) Which, b) why, c) How many
→ Again, we’re asking for a *reason* — why someone wants to join a company.
“Why” is the right choice. (Note: option b is lowercase “why”, but it’s still the same word.)
✔ Correct answer: b) why

Question 3: ______ do you buy the groceries?
Options: a) Who, b) Where, c) What
→ The picture is of a car — so maybe we’re talking about *where* you buy groceries (like at a store).
“Where” asks for a place.
✔ Correct answer: b) Where

---

Question 4: ______ did you buy this car?
Options: a) What, b) When, c) What
→ Wait — options a and c are both “What”? That might be a typo. But looking at the sentence: “did you buy this car?” — we already know *what* was bought (the car). So we’re likely asking *when* it was bought.
“When” asks for time.
✔ Correct answer: b) When

*(Even though two options say “What”, only “When” makes logical sense here.)*

Question 5: ______ do you look tired?
Options: a) Which, b) Why, c) What
→ We’re asking for a *reason* — why someone looks tired.
“Why” is correct.
✔ Correct answer: b) Why

Question 6: ______ would you like to have?
Options: a) What, b) Where, c) When
→ This is asking about *something* you’d like — an object or thing.
“What” asks for things.
The picture says “JOB” with a magnifying glass — so maybe you’re looking for a job. Still, “What” fits best.
✔ Correct answer: a) What
