Multiple choice softskills communication

He made his children ______ their homework every afternoon

  1. do

  2. to do

  3. studied

  4. to study
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The verb 'make' follows the pattern 'make + object + bare infinitive (without to)'. Therefore, 'made their children do' is correct. 'To do' is incorrect because make takes the bare infinitive. 'Studied' and 'to study' are wrong because the context mentions homework, not studying, and studying would require the bare infinitive form 'study'.

If she ___________ about his financial situation, she would have helped him out.

  1. knew

  2. had been knowing

  3. had known

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

This is a Third Conditional sentence describing a hypothetical past situation and its result. The structure is 'If + Past Perfect, ... would have + Past Participle'. 'Had known' is the past perfect form required. 'Knew' is simple past, 'had been knowing' is incorrect because 'know' is a stative verb not used in continuous form, and 'have known' doesn't fit the conditional structure.
