Q1  20
Q1 20

Question 1: I have a cat. ___ is black.

Question 1 options
'It' is correct because we use the subject pronoun 'it' to refer back to the cat (a thing/animal). 'He' and 'she' are used for people. 'Its' is a possessive pronoun, not a subject pronoun.
Q2 20

Question 2: Tom is my friend. I like ___.

Question 2 options
'Him' is correct because after the verb 'like' we need an object pronoun. 'He' is a subject pronoun. 'His' is possessive. 'Himself' is reflexive and not needed here.
Q3 20

Question 3: That book is not yours. It is ___.

Question 3 options
'Mine' is the correct possessive pronoun meaning 'belonging to me.' It replaces 'my book' and stands alone without a noun after it.
Q4 20

Question 4: ___ are my parents.

Question 4 options
'They' is correct because we need a subject pronoun for a plural noun (parents). 'Them' is an object pronoun. 'Their' is a possessive adjective. 'Theirs' is a possessive pronoun used without a following noun.
Q5 20

Question 5: Sarah made the cake by ___.

Question 5 options
'Herself' is correct because the subject is 'Sarah' (female, singular), and we use a reflexive pronoun after 'by' to mean she did it alone. 'Itself' refers to things. 'Themselves' is plural. 'Himself' refers to a male.
Q6 20

Question 6: In the sentence 'Give it to me,' the word 'me' is a subject pronoun.

Question 6 options
False because 'me' is an object pronoun. It follows the preposition 'to' and receives the action. The subject pronoun form is 'I.'
Q7 20

Question 7: The woman ___ lives next door is a teacher.

Question 7 options
'Who' is correct because we need a relative pronoun to refer to a person ('the woman') as the subject of the relative clause. 'Which' is for things. 'Whom' is an object form. 'What' does not introduce relative clauses modifying nouns.
Q8 20

Question 8: Is there ___ in the room?

Question 8 options
'Anybody' is correct because in questions we use 'anybody' (or 'anyone') as an indefinite pronoun. 'Somebody' is typically used in affirmative statements. 'Nobody' would make the sentence a statement, not a question. 'Everybody' asks about all people, which doesn't fit the meaning of checking if someone is present.
Q9 20

Question 9: Match each pronoun to its type.

Question 9 options
I
her (as in 'I saw her')
ours
myself
Reflexive pronoun
Possessive pronoun
Subject pronoun
Object pronoun

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

'I' is a subject pronoun. 'Her' (after a verb) is an object pronoun. 'Ours' is a possessive pronoun (stands alone). 'Myself' is a reflexive pronoun.
Q10 20

Question 10: ___ of the students passed the exam. They all did well.

Question 10 options
'All' is correct because the second sentence says 'They all did well,' meaning every student passed. 'None' means zero. 'Few' and 'neither' contradict the idea that all students succeeded.
Q11 20

Question 11: I have two brothers. ___ of them plays football.

Question 11 options
'Each' is correct because it refers to both brothers individually and takes a singular verb ('plays'). 'All' requires a plural verb or three or more items. 'Both' requires a plural verb ('play'). 'Every' is a determiner that cannot be followed by 'of them' in standard grammar.
Q12 20

Question 12: The dog wagged ___ tail happily.

Question 12 options
'Its' is the correct possessive determiner for an animal or thing. It shows the tail belongs to the dog. Be careful not to confuse 'its' (possessive) with 'it's' (it is/it has).
Q13 20

Question 13: This is the book ___ I was telling you about.

Question 13 options
'That' is correct as a relative pronoun referring to a thing ('the book') as the object of the preposition 'about.' 'Who' and 'whom' are used for people. 'Whose' shows possession.
Q14 20

Question 14: The pronoun 'they' can be used as a singular pronoun to refer to a person whose gender is unknown.

Question 14 options
True because singular 'they' is widely accepted in modern English when the gender of the person is unknown or unspecified, as in 'Someone left their bag here.'
Q15 20

Question 15: The manager ___ car was stolen reported it to the police.

Question 15 options
'Whose' is correct because we need a relative pronoun showing possession (the car belongs to the manager). 'Who's' means 'who is/has.' 'Which' and 'that' do not indicate possession.
Q16 20

Question 16: We enjoyed ___ at the party last night.

Question 16 options
'Ourselves' is correct because the subject 'we' and the object refer to the same people, requiring the reflexive pronoun 'ourselves.' 'Us' is a simple object pronoun and doesn't convey the reflexive meaning. 'Ourself' is non-standard. 'Ours' is a possessive pronoun.
Q17 20

Question 17: Put the words in the correct order to form a sentence:

Question 17 options
  • called you
  • It was
  • yesterday.
  • she who

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

The correct sentence is 'It was she who called you yesterday.' After 'it was,' the formal subject pronoun 'she' is used, followed by the relative clause 'who called you yesterday.'
Q18 20

Question 18: The journalist spoke to the politician to ___ the letter had been addressed.

Question 18 options
'Whom' is correct because after a preposition ('to') we need the object form of the relative pronoun. 'Who' is a subject form. 'Which' refers to things. 'That' cannot follow a preposition directly.
Q19 20

Question 19: Neither the teacher nor the students could bring ___ to believe the news.

Question 19 options
'Themselves' is correct because when 'neither...nor' links a singular and a plural noun, the pronoun agrees with the nearest noun ('the students,' which is plural). 'Herself' only matches 'the teacher.' 'Itself' refers to things. 'Himself' refers to a singular male.
Q20 20

Question 20: The company prides ___ on its customer service.

Question 20 options
'Itself' is the correct reflexive pronoun because 'the company' is a singular, non-human entity and the verb 'prides' requires a reflexive pronoun (pride oneself on something).
