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

The phrase 'what he believes to be (vi) ________' requires an adjective to complete the infinitive phrase structure 'to be + adjective'. 'False' is an adjective meaning incorrect or untrue, while 'falsely' is an adverb, 'falsehood' is a noun, and 'falseness' is also a noun. The context requires describing what is believed to be untrue or incorrect.

C Correct answer
Explanation

The phrase 'put to (v) ________' is part of the idiomatic expression 'put to death', which means to execute or kill someone. This is a fixed phrase where 'death' is the noun that completes the expression. 'Die' is a verb, 'died' is past tense, and 'dead' is an adjective - none of which fit the grammatical structure of this idiom.

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

The sentence 'He hates (iv) ________ a lie' uses the verb 'hate' which, when followed by another verb, requires the gerund form (-ing form). 'Telling' is the gerund of 'tell', making it grammatically correct. 'Tell' is base form, 'having told' is perfect gerund (unnecessary here), and 'tells' is third person singular - none of which fit after 'hates'.

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

The sentence 'Honesty (i) __________ truthfulness in word and deed' is a general definition stating what honesty means. This requires the simple present tense 'is' to express a general truth or fact. 'Was' is past tense, 'will be' is future tense, and 'has' doesn't make sense semantically in this context.

  4. One
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The phrase '(ii) ________ honest man' requires an article before the noun phrase. 'Honest' begins with a vowel sound (/ɒ/ or /ɒː/), so 'An' is the correct indefinite article. 'The' would specify a particular honest man (which doesn't fit this general context), 'A' is used before consonant sounds, and 'One' changes the meaning entirely.
