Option A 'is he' is correct. In English wh-questions (questions beginning with wh- words like 'why', 'what', 'where'), we use subject-auxiliary inversion: the auxiliary verb comes before the subject. The correct structure is 'Why is he late?' Option B lacks inversion. Option C uses continuous unnecessarily. Option D uses past tense 'was' which doesn't match the habitual present meaning.

Option B 'met' is correct. The phrase 'last week' indicates a specific, completed past time, requiring the past simple tense. 'Met' is the past simple form of 'meet'. Option A 'have met' (present perfect) connects past to present, which doesn't fit because speaker says 'not so sure'. Option C 'was meeting' suggests an ongoing action, not a single encounter. Option D 'had met' (past perfect) requires a previous past time reference.

Option C 'Will you have finished' is correct. 'By this time tomorrow' indicates a future deadline, requiring the future perfect tense ('will have + past participle'). This structure describes an action that will be completed before a specific future time. Options A and B use future simple, which doesn't convey completion by the deadline. Option D 'shall' is grammatically incorrect in this context.

Option D 'had read, knew' is correct. 'Before I reached the class' establishes a sequence: reading happened before reaching, so 'had read' (past perfect) is required. The second blank 'knew' (past simple) indicates the state at the time of reaching class. Option A uses past simple 'read' incorrectly. Option B uses 'known' instead of 'knew'. Option C has both tenses wrong.

Option D is correct. The first part 'I am trying to' (present continuous) shows an ongoing, current effort. The second part 'I can't remember' (present modal) states the current inability. Option A 'try to' is grammatically awkward and 'can remember' contradicts the meaning. Option B 'am not remembering' is incorrect - 'remember' is stative. Option C 'tried to' (past) doesn't match present context.

Option B 'left' is correct. 'Monday morning' specifies a definite past time, requiring past simple tense. 'Left' is the past form of 'leave'. Option A 'leaves' is present simple, used for habitual actions. Option C 'have left' (present perfect) connects past to present but no such connection exists here. Option D 'leaving' is a participle, not a complete verb form.

Option B 'sung' is correct. This is a third conditional structure 'would have + past participle' (would have sung), expressing a hypothetical past situation. 'Sing' is an irregular verb: sing-sang-sung. Option A 'sing' is base form. Option C 'sang' is past simple, not past participle. Option D 'sanged' is not a valid English word form.

Option C 'taken' is correct. This is a third conditional: 'If + past perfect, would have + past participle'. 'Take' is irregular: take-took-taken. The structure requires 'would have taken'. Option A 'take' is base form. Option B 'took' is past simple, not past participle. Option D 'taked' is not a valid English word.
