QUESTION 181
I suggest that he ______ for the job.
Answer: After verbs like 'suggest', 'recommend', 'demand', etc., the 'that' clause uses the subjunctive mood, which is the base form of the verb (bare infinitive).
QUESTION 182
They ______ here for three years by next January.
Answer: The future perfect continuous tense is used for an action that will have been happening for a period of time at a certain point in the future ('by next January').
QUESTION 183
Neither of the boys ______ done his homework.
Answer: Pronouns like 'neither', 'either', 'each', and 'everyone' are singular and require a singular verb. So, 'has' is the correct choice.
QUESTION 184
Being a rainy day, we ______ at home.
Answer: The sentence has a dangling participle. To correct it, the subject of the main clause ('we') must be able to perform the action of the participle. A more correct sentence would be 'As it was a rainy day, we stayed at home.' But given the options, 'stayed' is the most logical verb for the main clause.
QUESTION 185
I look forward to ______ from you.
Answer: The phrase 'look forward to' is followed by a gerund (verb + -ing). Therefore, 'hearing' is the correct form.
QUESTION 186
He made me ______ the whole story.
Answer: The causative verb 'make' is followed by an object and a bare infinitive (the base form of the verb without 'to').
QUESTION 187
Many a man ______ tried to climb Mount Everest.
Answer: The phrase 'Many a' is followed by a singular noun ('man') and takes a singular verb. It is a formal way of saying 'many men'.
QUESTION 188
The teacher asked the students to ______ quiet.
Answer: The structure 'asked someone to...' is followed by the base form of the verb (infinitive). 'To keep' is the correct form.
QUESTION 189
He has ______ the book on the table.
Answer: 'Lay' is a transitive verb meaning 'to place something'. Its past participle form is 'laid'. 'Has' requires the past participle (V3).
QUESTION 190
If I had known, I ______ have helped you.
Answer: This is a Type 3 conditional sentence. The 'if' clause is in the past perfect tense ('had known'), so the main clause must use 'would have' + past participle.
