He _______________ hungry. He isn't eating his food.

A
Should be

B
Needn't have been

C
Might not have been

D
Must not be

Solution

The correct answer is Option D.
MUST NOT BE is used to state the certainty of non-existence or impossibility of something. In the given sentence, the person is definitely not hungry because he isn't eating his food.
Thus Option D is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
SHOULD BE expresses obligation.
NEEDN'T HAVE BEEN expresses the non-requirement of something.
MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN expresses the improbability of something.

A
Used to be

B
Is supposed to be

C
Must have been

D

Solution

The correct answer is Option B.
IS SUPPOSED TO BE is used when something is believed to be the case, but is not necessarily so.
In the given sentence, the speaker believes that the seminar is interesting but isn't sure of the same.
Thus Option B is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
USED TO BE is used to refer to a habit or trend.
MUST HAVE BEEN is used to express certainty.
NEED TO BE expresses requirement.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
______ read any good book recently?

A
Have you

B
Do you

C
Does you

D
Are you

Solution

In the given sentence, the word 'recently' suggests that the action has been completed. That means that the word 'read' is in the past participle form. Thus, the answer must be either in the past tense or present perfect tense(as it indicates that the action is complete in the present).
Option A is correct. 'Have you' is in the present perfect tense. It grammatically supports the word 'read' being a past participle. Also, it indicates that the action has been completed. Thus, it is correct.
Option B is incorrect. 'Do you' is in the present tense and does not support the fact that 'read' is a past participle. Thus, using it will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
Option C is incorrect. 'Does you' is itself grammatically incorrect. The auxiliary 'does' is only used with third person singular pronouns whereas, 'you' is a second person singular pronoun. Thus, it cannot be the answer.
Option D is incorrect. 'Are you' generally indicates present continuous tense. Thus, it indicates that the action is ongoing and not complete and so, it is incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
All the lights in Terry's room are turned off. He ____________ sleeping.

A
Must have been

B
Had to be

C
Must be

D
Must not be

Solution

The correct answer is Option C.
MUST BE expresses certainty of a fact.
In the given sentence, the speaker is saying that it is certain that Tom is sleeping because the lights are turned off.
Thus MUST BE is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
MUST HAVE BEEN is present perfect, while the sentence is in the present tense.
HAD TO BE is the past tense.
MUST NOT BE is used when something is not the case, it would have been correct if Tom was not sleeping.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
His illness got worse and worse. In the end he _________ go into hospital for an operation.

A
Will have to

B
Must

C
Had to

D
Ought to have

Solution

A verb is used to express an occurrence, action, or state. It is the grammatical centre of the predicate in a sentence.
An auxiliary verb is a verb which is used in the formation of tenses, moods, tones, etc.
Option C is correct as in the end indicates the use of had to.
The other options are wrong as no other tense can be used here.
The correct answer is C) had to

1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
You _____________ any more aspirins; you've had four already.

A
Mustn't take

B
Needn't have taken

C
Shouldn't have taken

D
Had better take

Solution

The correct answer is Option A.
MUSTN'T means the compulsion and insistence to not do something. In the given sentence, the speaker is telling the opposite person to not take aspirins because he has had 4 already. The speaker is insisting on the fact. Thus Option A is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
Option B means the need or requirement to not do something.
Option C means the obligation to not do something.
HAD BETTER TAKE means that it is desirable to take the aspirins.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
He ____ hard because he answered all the questions in the exam.

A
must have studied

B
should study

C
should have studied

D
ought to study

Solution

The sentence says that the subject answered all the questions. Since the subject answered all the questions, it can be presumed that he certainly studied hard. The answer must express this certainty. Further, the action of studying has been completed by the subject and the answer must indicate that.
Option A is correct. 'must have studied' is correct because the word 'must' expresses certainty that the subject studied and 'have studied' indicates that the action of studying has been completed. Thus, it is correct.
Option B is incorrect. 'should study' neither expresses certainty nor indicates that the action of studying has been completed. It indicates that it is expected of the subject to study in the future.
Option C is incorrect. 'should have studied' indicates that the action of studying is complete but, it does not express certainty. It indicates that the subject was expected to study but he did not.
Option D is incorrect. 'ought to study' neither expresses certainty nor indicates that the action of studying is complete. It indicates that the subject is obligated to study in the future.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
To travel in the European Community, Dutch people _____ a passport.

A
haven't got

B
don't need

C
mustn't get

D
shouldn't get

Solution

From the sentence, we can conclude that it is not necessary for Dutch people to get a passport to travel in European community but, even if they get one, it is not an issue. Thus, the answer must demonstrate the above point.
Option A is incorrect. 'haven't got' indicates that the Dutch people do not have passports. Thus, it does not convey the required meaning and is incorrect.
Option B is correct. 'don't need' indicates that Dutch people do not have the need/necessity to get the passport. Thus, it conveys the correct meaning and is the correct answer.
Option C is incorrect. 'mustn't get' indicates that the Dutch people must avoid getting a passport. It does not indicate the lack of necessity or the option of getting one. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect. 'shouldn't get', similar to mustn't get, indicates that the Dutch people must avoid getting a passport. It does not indicate the lack of necessity or the option of getting one. Thus, it is incorrect.
Question 9

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
We can't wait any longer! Something _________________ immediately.

A
Should have been done

B
Had to be done

C
Ought to do

D
Must be done

Solution

The correct answer is Option D.
MUST BE DONE expresses compulsion.
In the given sentence, something should be compulsorily done immediately.
Thus MUST BE DONE is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE expresses obligation.
HAD TO BE DONE expresses compulsion in the past tense.
OUGHT TO DO expresses obligation.
