C Correct answer
Explanation

This makes a meaningful sentence. Only Q follows 1 as other options do not fit with it. “Thirdly” in P follows “firstly” in 1, shows it to be on the third place. “All of these” in S refers to the three points. “Computer is only medium” sets it apart from other sentences. Hence, R comes at last.

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

The sentence describes a general fact or a habitual state regarding the weather in California. The simple present tense 'doesn't often rain' is the correct form for expressing such regular occurrences. Options using 'isn't raining' or 'hasn't rained' imply specific ongoing or past actions rather than a general rule.

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

This question asks about a daily habit, which requires the simple present tense. 'Do you brush' is the correct construction for a question in the simple present with the subject 'you'. Options using 'have you brushed' or 'are you brushing' change the aspect to perfect or continuous, which is less appropriate for a general daily routine.

B Correct answer
Explanation

The noun 'foot' has an irregular plural form, which is 'feet'. Options A and C are incorrect because 'feets' and 'foots' are not real words. Option D is incorrect because the singular subject 'I' must be paired with 'have' rather than 'has'.
