Your answers are all correct. Well done!
To check your answers, you first need to understand the concepts being tested in each question.
1. In this question, you are asked to identify the bolded word that begins a prepositional phrase. A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition (a word that shows a relationship between a noun/pronoun and another word in a sentence) and any associated words. In this sentence, the prepositional phrase is "under the bridge," and the preposition that begins it is "under." So, the correct answer is d (under).
2. Here, you need to determine the part of speech of the bolded word. In this case, the bolded word is "ordered." It is an action word that expresses a command, making it a verb. Therefore, the correct answer is b (verb).
3. This question tests your understanding of verb forms. Among the provided options, only option a uses the correct form of the verb. "Has written" is the present perfect tense of the verb "to write." Therefore, the correct answer is a (He has written the story of his life).
4. This question requires you to identify the sentence that uses the past tense of the verb "study." Among the options, only option d, "The law student was studying in the library until midnight," correctly uses the past tense of the verb. The verb "studying" is in the past continuous tense, indicating an ongoing action in the past. Therefore, the correct answer is d.
5. Here, you are asked to identify the part of speech of the bolded word "hustle." In this sentence, "hustle" is used as a noun, referring to the act of moving quickly and energetically. Therefore, the correct answer is a (noun).
6. This question tests your knowledge of subject-verb agreement. The subject in this sentence is "Kara or her sister," which is a compound subject. When the subject is compound, you need to ensure that the verb agrees with the subject closest to it. In this case, "sister" is the closest subject, and the correct verb form to match it is "has." Therefore, the correct answer is b (has).
By going through the explanations, you can be confident in your answers and understand the reasoning behind them. Keep up the good work!
