(1) Mrs. Watsons worked so hard that she (    ) the report in a week.


   1 connected

   2 completed

   3 occurred

   4 closed



Explanation:


Complete means to finish doing something. It is clear that Mrs. Watsons completed the report as "worked so hard" suggests.

(2) A: Look! There's a cat in the house.

   B: Someone must have left the door (    ).


   1 be opened

   2 opening

   3 open

   4 to open



Explanation:


The pattern is must have + pp (left) + object (door) + complement (open)

(3) Jamie wanted to sell her car, so she took it to a car dealer to find out its (    ).


   1 range

   2 appointment

   3 view

   4 value



Explanation:


Value means how useful or important something is. Before selling the car, it is important to know the car's value.

(4) A: Erick, can you help me with my biology report?

   B: I'm brushing my teeth right now. Can you wait a (    )?


   1 state

   2 silence

   3 moment

   4 period



Explanation:


A is asking B's help but B is in the middle of doing something so B replied, "Can you wait a moment?"

wait a moment is used to tell someone to wait or to stop for a brief time.

(5) A: How was the baseball game, Thomas?

   B: We won by a score of 5-2. So we had a big party to celebrate our (    ).


   1 process

   2 victory

   3 practice

   4 memory



Explanation:


Victory means an occasion when you win a game, competition, election, war, etc. or the fact that you have won which relates to the first sentence.

(6) A: Amy, we've (    ) for an hour!

   B: Sorry I'm late. I got lost.


   1 waiting

   2 had waited

   3 been waiting

   4 been waited





Explanation:


The present perfect progressive tense "has been doing" is used to express a continuation of an action from the past to the present.

Only "been" is a possible past participle form in the choices and the verb-ing form is the appropriate form to follow it.

(7) On a clear day, the island is (    ) from over 100 miles away.


   1 definite

   2 possible

   3 remote

   4 visible



Explanation:


Visible means able to be seen so the phrase "on a clear day, the island can be seen from more than 100 miles away" supports that this choice is the best one to complete the sentence.

(8) The boys found the wall paintings in the cave (    ) chance.


   1 at

   2 by

   3 above

   4 through



Explanation:


We say "by chance" and it means "by accident or accidentally"

(9) A: Hey, look at how small this new computer is!

   B: Yes, I've never seen anything like this before. I wonder if it really (    )!


   1 works

   2 takes

   3 moves

   4 stands



Explanation:


The phrase "how small this new computer is" shows a contrast to the idea of something that normally works.

That's why "works" would be best to connect to the phrase "I wonder if it really.."

(10) A: Did you leave the window open?

    B: I don't think so. I remember (    ) it when I went to bed.


   1 close

   2 closing

   3 to close

   4 to be closed



Explanation:


The word remember is usually followed by -ing form of the verb to describe something in the past. So we say, "remember doing something".

"Remember to close" can be used to refer to something in the future that you need to remember so it does not match the sentence.
