A
Correct answer
Explanation
Present perfect tense is required with 'yet' in questions. 'Have your exams not started yet?' is the correct construction. The auxiliary 'Have' agrees with the plural subject 'your exams'. Present perfect is used because we're asking about an action that may or may not have happened by now.

-
has been
-
had been
-
have been
-
was been
C

Explanation
Present perfect continuous with 'since' shows an action/state continuing from a past point to now. 'I have been here since last month' is correct. 'Since' establishes the starting point, and present perfect continuous emphasizes the ongoing nature.

Present perfect continuous 'have been writing' shows an action continuing from past to present. 'Since morning' establishes the starting point. First-person 'I' requires auxiliary 'have'. The action of writing began in the morning and continues now.
-
has, left
-
had, left
-
had, leave
-
have, left
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The Past Perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before another action in the past.... so had left is the correct option. He 'had left' happened before I arrived.
-
has, gone
-
had, gone
-
have, gone
-
have, went
-
have, go
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Past perfect 'had gone' is required because one past event happened before another past event. 'I came after' (past simple) establishes the later past time, so the earlier action needs past perfect. 'He had gone before I came' is the logical sequence.
-
had, be
-
has been
-
had, been
-
have, been
-
is, been
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Reported speech about past time requires past perfect. 'He said' is past reporting verb, so the reported action shifts further back: 'He said that he had been in England for ten years.' Past perfect shows the action was completed before the speaking event.
-
will, traveling
-
will, be, traveling
-
will, been, travel
-
will have, been
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The future continuous tense 'will be traveling' describes an action that will be in progress at a specific time in the future (tomorrow). Option A is missing the auxiliary verb 'be', while Option C incorrectly uses 'been' (requires 'have'), and Option D uses future perfect instead of continuous.
-
S'il vous plaît or s'il te plaît Susan.
-
Ả bien tôt Susan.
-
Bonne chance Susan.
-
Bienvenue Susan.
C
Correct answer
Explanation
This is a French translation question. 'Good luck Susan' translates to 'Bonne chance Susan' in French. Bonne = good (feminine form to agree with chance), chance = luck. The other options are incorrect: S'il vous plaît is 'please', À bien tôt is incorrect phrasing, and Bienvenue means 'welcome' (greeting someone).
