Try a sample Text organisation — stages and phases question

Question 1Easy

Read the sentence below and choose the option that corrects the underlined error. 'Omar designed a new app, and then he showed it to his friends, but they couldn't figure out how to __uses__ it.' Which word should replace 'uses'?

A) using
B) used
C) use
D) to use

Answer: After the modal verb 'could' (in 'couldn't'), the base form of the verb is required. The correct form is 'use', not 'uses', 'using', or the infinitive 'to use'.

Question 2Medium

Choose the sentence that uses the correct verb tense. Jada and her class were learning about coding last week.

A) Jada and her class were learning about coding last week.
B) Jada and her class was learning about coding last week.
C) Jada and her class are learning about coding last week.
D) Jada and her class is learning about coding last week.

Answer: Option A is correct — The subject 'Jada and her class' is plural, so it requires 'were' (not 'was'). The past tense 'were learning' is correct because of the time marker 'last week'.

Question 3Hard

Which sentence uses the correct form of the verb 'to be'? The team of players _____ ready for the grand final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

A) The team of players are ready for the grand final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
B) The team of players were ready for the grand final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
C) The team of players is ready for the grand final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
D) The team of players am ready for the grand final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Answer: Option C is correct — The subject 'team' is a collective noun treated as singular, so it takes the singular verb 'is'. 'Are' and 'were' are plural or past-tense forms that do not agree here.
