A Correct answer
Explanation

'In honor of' is the correct phrase when something is created to recognize or commemorate someone. A statue erected 'in honor of' a great man means it was built to pay tribute to him. 'On honor of' and 'at honor of' are not correct expressions. 'By the honor' would indicate the method or agent, which doesn't fit.

B Correct answer
Explanation

After 'accept my', the noun form expressing good wishes is required. 'Congratulations' (plural noun) is the correct idiomatic expression - e.g., 'Please accept my congratulations.' 'Congratulation' is singular and not idiomatic, 'congratulating' is a verb form, and 'conratulated' is a misspelling of the verb 'congratulated'.

B Correct answer
Explanation

'Dregs' (plural noun) refers to the last small amount of liquid, sediment, or residue remaining in a container. In the idiom 'to the last dregs', the plural form is required. 'Dreg' is the singular but the idiom uses plural, 'drugs' is a different word, and 'drugging' is a verb form.

  2. fetters

  3. fettered

  4. fettering

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

'Fetters' (plural noun) means chains or shackles used to restrain prisoners. In this context, the plural form is idiomatic as prisoners are restrained with multiple chains or shackles. 'Fetter' is the singular form, 'fettered' is an adjective meaning restrained, and 'fettering' is a verb form - none fit the grammatical structure 'kept in ____'.

Multiple choice

  2. poetries

  3. poetrieng

  4. poet

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

'Poetry' is an uncountable noun referring to literary works in verse form collectively. When expressing liking for a type of literature, we use the singular uncountable form. 'Poetries' is grammatically incorrect. 'Poetrieng' appears to be a misspelling, and 'poet' refers to a person who writes poetry, not the literary works themselves.

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

Peasantry refers to peasants as a collective class or group, and collective nouns take singular verbs. Even though it refers to many people, 'peasantry' is treated grammatically as singular, so we use 'is' not 'are.' This follows the pattern of words like 'family' or 'team' when acting as a single unit.
