C Correct answer

The sentence 'We think that a cherry is red because we see it__(iii)__ a red colour' requires a verb that connects seeing with possession. 'Having' is the only grammatically correct option - 'we see it having a red colour' means we perceive the cherry as possessing red color. 'Concealing', 'spreading', and 'hiding' don't make logical sense in this context.

  2. along with

  3. as well as

  4. which also

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence 'He helps the traffic, ____(iii)___ catches thieves' lists two duties of a police officer. 'As well as' correctly connects these two responsibilities - he helps traffic AND also catches thieves. 'But also' would require 'not only' earlier, 'along with' typically requires a different sentence structure, and 'which also' doesn't grammatically fit here.

Multiple choice
  1. sincere

  2. unique

  3. important

  4. tiring

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The passage describes a police officer who protects the community, enforces law, helps traffic, catches thieves, and assists people in danger. The word 'important' best captures the significance of these varied responsibilities. 'Sincere' and 'unique' don't convey the significance of the role, while 'tiring' focuses on difficulty rather than importance.

  3. dishonours

  4. learns

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence 'He helps the community by seeing that everybody __(ii)_ the law' refers to police ensuring compliance with laws. 'Obeys' is the correct verb - people must follow (obey) the law. 'Trusts', 'dishonours', and 'learns' don't make sense in this context. Police officers monitor that citizens obey laws, not that they trust, dishonor, or learn them.

Multiple choice
