Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
What ______________ on Sundays?

  1. all usually do

  2. do all usually do

  3. do all usually

  4. usually does all do
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
When we form a question with 'what', we usually invert the word order of a positive sentence, where the form is 'what + auxiliary verb + subject + main verb'
Option B: 'Do all usually do' follows the form given above: do (auxiliary verb) + all (subject) (+ usually is an adverb) + do (main verb).
Hence option B is correct.
Option A: 'All usually do' is missing the auxiliary verb 'do'. Hence this phrase is incomplete and A is wrong.
Option C: Similarly, 'do all usually' is missing the main verb, hence C is incorrect.
Option D: In 'usually does all do', 'does' is a singular verb and does not agree with the subject 'all'. When the subject is plural, the verb must also be plural. Hence option D is incorrect.
('Do' can function as an auxiliary verb as well as a main verb.)

____________ Dhoni still the number one international player?

  1. How

  2. Does

  3. Has

  4. Is
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The correct is Option D.

We are to use the suitable word that completes the given sentence which is in the question form.
Option A-HOW is used when one asks about the manner or style of anything, place or event.
Option B-DOES is the first person singular of the verb 'do'. There is nothing being done in the sentence by Dhoni. 
Option C-HAS is used to indicate possession or an experience. In the given sentence there is no such meaning conveyed.
Hence these 3 options are incorrect.
Option D- IS is a form of the verb 'be'. 'Be' is a word that indicates existence. The given sentence questions whether Dhoni is still the number one international player.
Hence using IS satisfies the meaning of the sentence and is the correct answer.
