  1. Has

  2. Have'nt

  3. Hasn't

  4. Haven't

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The correct answer is Option D.

We are to choose the correct word that completes the sentence.
Have and has are both used in meaning of possession and experience. The only difference is that the doer of 'have' is in the first person and the doer of 'has' is in the third person.
In the given sentence the doer of the verb 'traveled' is 'you' - i.e. in the third person. Therefore the correct answer will be Option D -'HAVEN'T'.
The other options are incorrect because:
Option A and D are forms of 'has' and these can be used only if the doer of the sentence is in the first person. The doer of the verb is in the third person in the given sentence. Hence these 2 options are not the suitable answers.
Option B-HAVE'NT is no form of verb. The negation of 'have' is 'have not' and its contraction is 'haven't.
Hence Option D is the correct answer.

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The correct answer is Option C.

We are to choose the correct interrogative word from the given options.
We can make out from the sentence that the speaker has to choose a dress from a definite set of various dresses.
So the correct answer is the word that is used when one is to ask for information or things from a definite set.
Option A- HOW is used when one asks about a method or manner of something.
Option B- WHO is used when one asks about a particular person.
Option D- WHEN is used when one asks about the time of the occurrence of an event.
Hence these options are not the desirable answers since they are not used to ask for a particular thing from a set.
Option C-WHICH is used when one has to choose from a definite set. Here the speaker will use the word 'which' because he or she wishes to choose a single dress from various dresses.
Therefore Option C is the correct answer.

Hence these 3 options are incorrect.
Option C -DO is used to indicate the meaning of performance and is used when the doer is in the first person. This correctly complies with the given sentence and hence is the correct answer.

interrogative and exclamatory pronouns pronoun english

  1. Which

  2. What

  3. Who

  4. Whom

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The given statement is a question. Thus, the answer must be a 'Wh' word. The 'Wh' word must fit in the sentence and must correctly refer to the object 'books'. It must indicate a choice of books, of which the subject likes the best

Option C is incorrect. 'who' is used to ask about a person and not objects. Thus, it is not the correct answer.
Option D is incorrect. 'whom' is also used to ask about a person and not objects. Thus, it is incorrect.
