QUESTION 193
Choose the correct option to fill in the blank space:After the French Police had successfully used dogs, the German authorities too _____ of using them.
  • A think

QUESTION 194
I knew that they ______ in this company before so I asked about the boss.
  • A has worked

  • A goes
  • B went

  • D had been read
Answer: 'Am reading' (present continuous) describes an action that is currently in progress, even if not happening at this exact second. It implies the process of reading the play has started but not finished.
QUESTION 200
Mica ___ in Rajasthan.

  • B is founded
  • C is found
