Q6 15

Question 6: Which word naturally goes with FROM when talking about moving countries? For example: 'She ___ from Mexico.'

Question 6 options
Emigrate goes with FROM because emigrate describes leaving a country, and we use 'from' to show the place someone is departing. Immigrate goes with 'to' (the destination), not 'from'.
Q7 15

Question 7: A: 'Where did your grandfather come from originally?' B: 'He ___ to Australia from Greece in the 1950s.'

Question 7 options
Immigrated is correct here because the sentence focuses on the grandfather arriving in Australia (the new country). The preposition 'to Australia' also signals arrival, which matches immigrate.
Q8 15

Question 8: He decided to ___ from his home country because of the difficult economic situation there.

Question 8 options
Emigrate is correct because the focus is on leaving the home country ('from his home country'). Immigrate would describe arriving in a new country, not leaving the old one.
Q9 15

Question 9: Put the chunks in the correct order to make a natural sentence:

Question 9 options
  • to start
  • a new life.
  • Her family
  • emigrated from Italy

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

The correct order is 'Her family emigrated from Italy to start a new life.' This follows the pattern: subject + verb + 'from' + origin country + purpose.
Q10 15

Question 10: Thousands of people ___ to Canada every year, hoping to find work and build better lives.

Question 10 options
Immigrate is the most natural and precise word here because the sentence focuses on people arriving in Canada (the destination country). The preposition 'to Canada' confirms this is about entering the new country.
Q11 15

Question 11: An official government report uses which word to describe people who have LEFT their country to live abroad?

Question 11 options
Emigrants is the correct formal term for people who have left their home country. Immigrants refers to those who have arrived in a new country. Refugees and tourists describe different situations.
Q12 15

Question 12: Which form correctly completes the sentence? 'The number of ___ to the United States grew in the 20th century.'

Question 12 options
Immigrants is the correct noun form here. It refers to people who came to live in the United States (arrived there). Emigration and emigrant relate to leaving a country, and immigration is the wrong form for this blank (which needs a plural noun for people).
Q13 15

Question 13: It is correct to say 'She emigrated TO France' when you want to describe her arriving in France to live there.

Question 13 options
False. 'Emigrate' is used with 'from' to describe leaving a country. To describe arriving in France, you should say 'She immigrated TO France.' Using 'emigrate' with 'to' is a common mistake.
Q14 15

Question 14: Maria left Spain and moved to the UK to live and work there permanently. Which word PRECISELY describes the move from Maria's perspective in her new country?

Question 14 options
Immigrated is correct here because from the perspective of her new country (the UK), Maria has arrived and settled there — that is what immigrate means. Emigrated describes leaving Spain, not arriving in the UK.
Q15 15

Question 15: Read this sentence: 'Many people emigrate for a better life.' What does EMIGRATE mean HERE?

Question 15 options
Emigrate means 'to leave your home country to live in another country.' In this sentence, it specifically focuses on the act of departing from the home country, not on arriving somewhere new.
