  1. I arrived just now only.

  2. I arrived just now

  3. Just I arrived.

  4. I have reached just now.

B Correct answer
Explanation

'Just now' means 'a very short time ago'. Option B correctly places it at the end. Option A redundantly adds 'only'. Option C incorrectly places 'just' before the verb. Option D uses present perfect 'have reached' which doesn't work with 'just now' - simple past 'arrived' is correct.

You want to note down something, and as is the case often, you just can't find your pen. You probably came to office without it. So you think of asking the person next to you for a pen. You ask:

  1. Are you having a pen?

  2. Pen

  3. Do you have a pen?

  4. A pen is there with you?

C Correct answer
Explanation

Native speakers use 'Do you have a pen?' to ask about possession. 'Are you having a pen' (present continuous) is unnatural. 'Pen' is too abrupt. 'A pen is there with you' is grammatically awkward and sounds like non-native speech.

You've just watched a movie and you want to recommend it to somebody else. So you say:

  1. This is one of the best movies I've seen.

  2. This is one of the best movie I've seen.

  3. What a movie!

  4. All of these sound ok to me!
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

'One of the best' requires a plural noun (movies, not movie) because you're selecting from multiple options. Option A correctly uses 'movies'. Option B's 'movie' is grammatically wrong. Option C doesn't actually recommend the movie - it's just an exclamation.

You tell people something hard to believe and they smile back at you. You think they don't believe what you said. So you say:

  1. Do you think I am lying?

  2. Are you not believing me?

  3. Don't you believe me?

  4. Are you thinking that I am lying?
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,C Correct answer
Explanation

When challenging someone's disbelief, 'Do you think I am lying?' is direct and natural. 'Don't you believe me?' is also correct and challenges their doubt. 'Are you not believing me' (present continuous) is unnatural - belief is a state, not an ongoing action. 'Are you thinking that I am lying' is unnecessarily wordy.

Multiple choice softskills communication

Your friend gives you a framed photograph which you hang on your wall at home. The next day, she asks you where the picture is. You say

  1. I hung it on my wall at home.

  2. I hanged it on my wall at home.

  3. It is hanging out on my wall at home.

  4. I hunged it on my wall at home.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The verb 'hang' has two past forms: 'hung' for general use (pictures, clothes) and 'hanged' specifically for execution. Since this is about hanging a picture, 'hung' is correct. 'I hanged it' would mean you executed it. 'Hanged out' has a different meaning (socializing), and 'hunged' isn't a real word.

You think 20-20 will have a negative impact on the game of cricket. So you say:

  1. 20-20 will have a bad affect on cricket.

  2. 20-20 will have a bad effect on cricket.

  3. 20-20 will have a bad affect on the cricket.

  4. 20-20 will have a bad effect on the cricket.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

'Effect' is a noun (result), 'affect' is a verb (to influence). The sentence needs a noun after 'bad', so 'effect' is correct. Also, 'cricket' as a general concept doesn't take 'the'. Option B is correct on both counts.

You want to know if Tom can jump over a five-foot wall. He thinks he can. He says:

  1. I can be able to do it.

  2. I can do it.

  3. I can able to do it.

  4. I can certainly able to do it.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

'Can' already expresses ability, so you don't add 'be able to' - it's redundant. 'I can do it' is correct. 'I can be able to do it' and 'I can able to do it' are both grammatically wrong (can + able together is incorrect). 'I can certainly able to do it' is also grammatically incorrect.

INTRODUCTION:CONCLUSION::

  1. announcement:news

  2. greeting:farewell

  3. birth:marriage

  4. arrival:salutation

  5. friendship:termination
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

INTRODUCTION begins something, CONCLUSION ends it. GREETING begins an interaction, FAREWELL ends it. Both pairs represent complementary start-finish relationships. 'Announcement:news' doesn't fit (announcement delivers news). 'Birth:marriage' are different life stages. 'Arrival:salutation' doesn't work (salutation isn't the opposite of arrival).

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

The correct answer is C because the speaker is a current regular visitor, so present simple tense ('take') is appropriate for describing an ongoing habit. Option A uses 'used to' which indicates a past habit no longer continued, contradicting 'regular visitor'. Option B incorrectly uses 'use to' (grammatically invalid; should be 'used to' for past). Option D uses present continuous ('am taking') which describes an action happening now, not a regular habit.

You were an excellent sprinter in your school days. You could run the 100 metres in under 12 seconds:

  1. I use to be an excellent athlete in my school days.

  2. Myself was an excellent athlete in my school days.

  3. Myself used to be an excellent athlete in my school days.

  4. I used to be an excellent athlete in my school days.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is D because 'used to be' correctly describes a past habit or state (being an excellent athlete in school days) that is no longer true. Options A and B incorrectly use 'use to' which is grammatically invalid; it should be 'used to'. Option C incorrectly uses 'myself' as a subject pronoun; 'myself' is a reflexive pronoun and cannot be the subject of a sentence.
