I can't say that I think question 7 is a fair question.

You are right. It's a shocker.

I can't say that I think question 7 is a fair question.

I agree. I believe that either A or B is acceptable. Some might even accept C or D, though "farthest" is preferable to "furthest" when we talk about actual distance.

I agree with you, though OALD reports, "To talk about distance, use either farther, farthest or further, furthest. In BrE, further, furthest are the most common forms and in AmE, further and farthest."

ps - I checked for typos - the letters in red are correct.

can you tell me how to use "Yes/ No answer" in question 3,4,5?

can you tell me how to use "Yes/ No answer" in question 3,4,5?

I am not sure what you mean by this. Could you give an example of what you are looking for? - Don't worry if is incorrect.

I don't know in which situation we answer yes/ no in the following question.

3. “I understand you didn’t do the work? “Oh……..”
A no. I didn’t B Yes. I did C No. I didn’t D Yes, I didn’t



Answer: B.Yes. I did (Why not D. Yes. I didn't?)
4. “Ibadan isn’t very far from Laohos, is it?” “……….”
A No, it isn’t B Yes, it isn’t
C Yes, certainly, it is not D No, it is



Answer: A. No, it isn't (Why not "B. Yes, it isn't" ?)
5.“Isn’t all the chalk in the box” “……………….”
A Yes, one piece is not in the box B. Yes, all the chalk isn’t in the box
C No, one piece is not in the box D. No, all the chalk is in the box

Answer: C. No, one piece is not in the box ( Why not A?)


Thanks for your consideration.

“I understand you didn’t do the work?
“(Oh) yes, I did.” OR "No, I didn't."

“Ibadan isn’t very far from Laohos, is it?”
"(Oh) yes, it is." OR "No, it isn't."

5.“Isn’t all the chalk in the box?”
"Yes, it is." OR "No, it isn't."

I agree. I believe that either A or B is acceptable. Some might even accept C or D, though "farthest" is preferable to "furthest" when we talk about actual distance.

I would accept all of them- in BrE both forms are used, and I am completely neutral, though some have a preference.

[san2612]

Can you explain me why answer D.itself is correct in this sentence? I think it should be C. themselves
8. “What have you been improving?”. “Most of our improvements have been in the home………..”
A ourselves B yourself C themselves D itself

[Verona_82]

'itself" refers to 'the home". Most of the improvements have been in the home, not in the garden or yard or whatever.
