Q1  20
Q1 20

Question 1: Sarah works hard every day. ___ is always the first person to arrive at the office.

Question 1 options
'She' is correct because it is a subject personal pronoun that replaces the noun 'Sarah'. 'Her' is an object pronoun, 'Hers' is a possessive pronoun, and 'Herself' is a reflexive pronoun — none of these can function as the subject of a sentence.
Q2 20

Question 2: We have two cats. The black one is mine, and the white one is ___.

Question 2 options
'Yours' is correct because it is a possessive pronoun that stands alone without a following noun, matching the structure 'the white one is ___'. 'Your' is a possessive adjective that must precede a noun. 'You' is a subject/object pronoun, and 'Yourself' is a reflexive pronoun.
Q3 20

Question 3: Personal pronouns in English can show the number (singular or plural) and person (first, second, or third) of the noun they replace.

Question 3 options
True because personal pronouns are defined by their ability to indicate person (I/you/he/she/it/we/they) and number (singular vs. plural), among other features. This is a core property of personal pronouns in English grammar.
Q4 20

Question 4: Why do writers use pronouns like 'she', 'he', or 'they' in a text?

Question 4 options
'To avoid repeating the same noun too many times' is correct because the primary function of pronouns is to replace nouns and reduce repetition, making writing more varied and readable. The other options describe functions of other grammar structures, not pronouns.
Q5 20

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

Question 5 options
  • The boy
  • who won the prize
  • was very happy

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

The correct order is 'The boy who won the prize was very happy' because 'who' is a relative pronoun introducing a relative clause that describes 'the boy', and it must follow the noun it modifies directly.
Q6 20

Question 6: Which sentence is grammatically correct?

Question 6 options
'The woman whom I met at the conference was very kind' is correct because 'whom' is an object pronoun used when it functions as the object of the verb 'met'. 'Who' would be used for a subject role. The other sentences use 'whom' or 'who' incorrectly in their respective clauses.
Q7 20

Question 7: Customer: 'Is this jacket available in blue?' Shop assistant: '___ would you prefer, the dark blue or the light blue?'

Question 7 options
'Which' is correct because it is an interrogative pronoun used when choosing between a limited set of options (dark blue or light blue). 'What' is used for open-ended questions, 'Who' refers to people, and 'Whose' asks about possession.
Q8 20

Question 8: Which sentence correctly uses a relative pronoun (not an interrogative pronoun)?

Question 8 options
'The book that she recommended was fascinating' is correct because 'that' functions as a relative pronoun linking the relative clause to the noun 'book'. The other options use interrogative pronouns (who, what, which) in question-type constructions rather than as relative pronouns inside a statement.
Q9 20

Question 9: Put the words in the correct order:

Question 9 options
  • the bag
  • yesterday?
  • Is this
  • that you lost

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

The correct order is 'Is this the bag that you lost yesterday?' because 'that' is a relative pronoun connecting the relative clause to the noun 'bag', and the clause must follow the noun it modifies.
Q10 20

Question 10: Nobody told ___ about the meeting, so we missed it completely.

Question 10 options
'us' is correct because it is an object personal pronoun and functions as the object of the verb 'told'. 'We' is a subject pronoun and cannot follow a verb as its object. 'Our' is a possessive adjective, and 'ours' is a possessive pronoun — neither can be a verb object.
Q11 20

Question 11: Look at the sentence: 'The dog that lives next door barks all night.' Which statement about the word 'that' is true?

Question 11 options
'That' is a relative pronoun introducing a restrictive relative clause that identifies which dog is meant. It is not an interrogative pronoun (those appear in questions), not a demonstrative pronoun (those stand alone, e.g. 'That is mine'), and not an indefinite pronoun.
Q12 20

Question 12: Rewrite using a relative clause: 'I have a colleague. She speaks four languages.' → I have a colleague ___ four languages.

Question 12 options
'who speaks' is correct because 'who' is the relative pronoun used to refer to a person (the colleague), and it introduces a restrictive relative clause. 'which speaks' is used for things/animals, 'that spoken' is grammatically incorrect, and 'whom speaks' uses the object form where a subject is needed.
Q13 20

Question 13: Match each sentence to the correct pronoun type label.

Question 13 options
She finished her homework before dinner.
Who left the door open?
The film that we watched last night was brilliant.
He cut himself while cooking dinner.
Reflexive pronoun
Interrogative pronoun
Relative pronoun
Personal pronoun

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

Personal pronouns replace names/nouns; interrogative pronouns ask questions; relative pronouns link clauses; reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject.
Q14 20

Question 14: The relative pronoun 'who' can be used to refer to animals and things when the speaker feels a personal connection to them, but 'which' is the standard form for animals and objects.

Question 14 options
True because while 'which' is the standard relative pronoun for animals and things, native speakers sometimes use 'who' for animals they feel close to. However, 'which' remains the grammatically standard choice for non-human nouns in formal writing.
Q15 20

Question 15: A student asks: 'To whom should I address this letter?' Which best describes the register and usage of 'whom' here?

Question 15 options
'Whom' is the object form used correctly after the preposition 'to', and is appropriate in formal or written English. Using 'who' after a preposition is a common informal usage but is not standard in formal writing. The other options misidentify the register or function.
Q16 20

Question 16: The manager praised the employee ___ had worked overtime every weekend for three months to complete the urgent project.

Question 16 options
'who' is correct because the relative pronoun refers to a person (the employee) and functions as the subject of the relative clause ('had worked overtime'). 'Whom' is an object pronoun and cannot be the subject. 'Which' refers to things, and 'whose' indicates possession.
Q17 20

Question 17: I need someone ___. Can you recommend a good one from your team?

Question 17 options
'whom I can trust' is correct because 'whom' is the object pronoun, functioning as the object of the verb 'trust' within the relative clause. 'Who I can trust' uses a subject pronoun where an object is needed. 'Which I can trust' refers to things, and 'whose I can trust' indicates possession, not the required object role.
Q18 20

Question 18: Put the sentences in the correct order:

Question 18 options
  • They asked him several questions about his background.
  • Tom introduced himself to his new colleagues.
  • After that, everyone felt comfortable with one another.
  • He answered them confidently and smiled.

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

The correct order is: (1) Tom introduced himself to his new colleagues. (2) They asked him several questions about his background. (3) He answered them confidently and smiled. (4) After that, everyone felt comfortable with one another. The pronouns 'they/him', 'he/them', and 'everyone/one another' chain logically from the introduction.
Q19 20

Question 19: Reflexive pronouns (e.g. 'myself', 'herself') can be used both when the subject and object of a sentence refer to the same person AND for emphasis, but they cannot replace a simple object pronoun when the subject and object are different people.

Question 19 options
True because reflexive pronouns have two functions: reflexive use (e.g. 'She hurt herself') where subject and object are the same, and emphatic use (e.g. 'She did it herself'). However, saying 'Call myself' when someone else is meant is incorrect — a regular object pronoun like 'me' must be used when subject and object differ.
Q20 20

Question 20: Which option correctly fixes the error in: 'The scientist which discovered the new medicine received an international award.'?

Question 20 options
'The scientist who discovered the new medicine received an international award' is correct because 'who' is the relative pronoun used for people. 'Which' is used for things or animals, not people. The other options either keep 'which', introduce 'whom' (object form, wrong here as it is a subject role), or use 'whose' (possession), none of which are appropriate.
