Q1  15
Q1 15

Question 1: ___ does she go to work every day?

Question 1 options
'How' is correct because it asks about the manner or way someone does something. 'What' asks about a thing, 'Which' asks about a choice, and 'Who' asks about a person.
Q2 15

Question 2: ___ you finish your homework last night?

Question 2 options
'Did' is correct because it is the auxiliary verb used to form yes/no questions in the simple past tense. 'Do', 'Does', and 'Are' do not match the past tense context indicated by 'last night'.
Q3 15

Question 3: In an interrogative sentence, the auxiliary verb comes before the subject.

Question 3 options
True because in English interrogative sentences, the auxiliary verb (e.g., 'do', 'is', 'can') is placed before the subject to signal that it is a question, unlike in declarative sentences where the subject comes first.
Q4 15

Question 4: Which situation correctly shows why someone would use an interrogative sentence?

Question 4 options
Interrogative sentences are used to gather information or ask for clarification. Asking a friend what time a movie starts is a direct request for information, which is the primary purpose of interrogative sentences.
Q5 15

Question 5: Arrange the words to make a correct sentence:

Question 5 options
  • that shirt?
  • you
  • Where
  • did
  • buy

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'Where did you buy that shirt?' because in a wh-question the question word comes first, followed by the auxiliary verb 'did', then the subject 'you', then the main verb and object.
Q6 15

Question 6: Which sentence is grammatically correct?

Question 6 options
'When does the train leave?' is correct because the auxiliary verb 'does' is placed before the subject 'the train' in a wh-question. The other options either omit the auxiliary, misplace the subject, or use the wrong auxiliary form.
Q7 15

Question 7: Two friends are planning the weekend. Friend A says: 'I want to watch a film or go to the park.' Friend B replies: '___ you prefer to watch a film, or would you rather go to the park?'

Question 7 options
'Would' is correct because this is an alternative interrogative — an 'or' question offering two choices — and 'Would you prefer' is the natural, grammatically correct form for this structure. 'Do', 'Did', and 'Are' do not fit the polite choice-offering context.
Q8 15

Question 8: Which sentence is a yes/no question, NOT a wh-question?

Question 8 options
'Is your brother coming to the party?' is a yes/no question because it can be answered with 'yes' or 'no' and does not begin with a question word. The other options all begin with wh-question words (Where, Why, What).
Q9 15

Question 9: Put the words in the correct order:

Question 9 options
  • wake up
  • so early?
  • did
  • Why
  • James

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'Why did James wake up so early?' because in a wh-question the question word comes first, then the auxiliary 'did', then the subject 'James', then the main verb phrase.
Q10 15

Question 10: She studies every day. ___ does she study so hard?

Question 10 options
'Why' is correct because the sentence calls for a reason or explanation, which is what 'why' asks for. 'When' asks about time, 'Where' asks about place, and 'How' asks about manner — none of these ask for a reason.
Q11 15

Question 11: Which statement about yes/no interrogative sentences is true?

Question 11 options
Yes/no questions require an auxiliary verb before the subject and can only be answered with 'yes' or 'no'. They do not begin with a question word like wh-questions do.
Q12 15

Question 12: Rewrite as a question: 'She can speak three languages.' → ___ she speak three languages?

Question 12 options
'Can' is correct because when transforming a statement with 'can' into a yes/no question, the modal verb 'can' is moved to the front before the subject. 'Does', 'Did', and 'Is' do not match the modal verb in the original sentence.
Q13 15

Question 13: Match each sentence to the correct grammar label.

Question 13 options
Who broke the window?
Did you call your mother yesterday?
Where do you usually have lunch?
Is she tired, or is she just bored?
Alternative interrogative with 'or'
Subject question (question word as subject)
Wh-question asking about place
Yes/No question

Select an item on the left, then tap its match on the right.

Interrogative sentences are classified by their structure and purpose: wh-questions use question words to ask for specific information; yes/no questions can be answered with yes or no; alternative interrogatives offer two choices using 'or'; subject questions use the question word as the subject.
Q14 15

Question 14: When a question word such as 'who' or 'what' acts as the subject of an interrogative sentence, no auxiliary verb is needed before it.

Question 14 options
True because when the question word is the subject itself (e.g., 'Who called you?'), no auxiliary verb is inserted before it. This is an exception to the usual rule that auxiliary verbs precede the subject in questions.
Q15 15

Question 15: A manager needs a polite answer from two choices. Which sentence best fits a formal, alternative interrogative context?

Question 15 options
'Would you prefer to meet on Monday, or would Tuesday be better?' is correct because it is a formal alternative interrogative that politely offers two options using 'or'. The other options are either too direct, informal, or not structured as alternative interrogatives.
