Explanation:
We are given 10 questions, each with a blank at the beginning. We must choose the correct question word from this list:
who / what / when / where / why / which / how
Let’s go one by one and think about what each question is asking:
1.
______ time did you wake up?
→ Asking about *time* → use
What (e.g., “What time…” is the standard phrase).
✔ What
2.
______ is your best friend?
→ Asking about a *person* → use
Who.
✔ Who
3.
______ many pencils are there?
→ Asking about *quantity* → “How many” is the fixed phrase.
✔ How
4.
______ are you from?
→ Asking about *place* → use
Where.
✔ Where
5.
______ are you so happy?
→ Asking about *reason* → use
Why.
✔ Why
6.
______ color do you prefer? Red or blue?
→ Giving choices (Red or blue) → use
Which (used for selecting from known options).
✔ Which
7.
______ does the train arrive?
→ Asking about *time* again →
When (not “What time” here because the sentence doesn’t say “time”, just “does the train arrive?” — so “When” fits naturally).
✔ When
8.
______ did you go last weekend?
→ Asking about *place* →
Where.
✔ Where
9.
______ does your mother do?
→ Asking about *job/activity* → use
What (“What does your mother do?” = her job or action).
✔ What
10.
______ is his birthday party?
→ Asking about *time* →
When.
✔ When
Now let’s double-check all:
1. What
2. Who
3. How
4. Where
5. Why
6. Which
7. When
8. Where
9. What
10. When
All match standard English question patterns.
Final Answer:
1. What
2. Who
3. How
4. Where
5. Why
6. Which
7. When
8. Where
9. What
10. When
