Q1 15

Question 1: What does the word FARTHER mean?

Question 1 options
'Farther' means a greater physical distance. It refers to measurable, literal space — for example, 'The school is farther than the park.' The other options describe abstract or unrelated concepts.
Q2 15

Question 2: The hospital is two kilometers ___ down the road from here.

Question 2 options
'Farther' is correct because the sentence describes a measurable, physical distance along a road. 'Further' is used for figurative or abstract contexts, not literal distances.
Q3 15

Question 3: The word 'further' is used to talk about physical distances you can measure, like kilometers or miles.

Question 3 options
False. 'Further' is used for figurative or abstract contexts, such as progress or additional information. 'Farther' is the correct word for measurable physical distances.
Q4 15

Question 4: Which word is closest in meaning to FURTHER (in a non-physical sense)?

Question 4 options
'Additional' is closest in meaning to 'further' when used in a non-physical context, as in 'further information' meaning more or additional information. The other options do not share this meaning.
Q5 15

Question 5: Match each word or phrase to its correct meaning.

Question 5 options
further
farther
furthermore
father
used to add a new point to what was said
a greater measurable physical distance
a male parent in a family
more progress or additional information (not physical)

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

'Further' relates to abstract progress or extra information; 'farther' relates to physical distance; 'furthermore' adds a new point; 'father' is a family member.
Q6 15

Question 6: Which word naturally goes with the phrase '___ information'?

Question 6 options
'Further information' is the natural and correct collocation, meaning additional or more information. 'Farther' is only used for physical distances and does not collocate with 'information.'
Q7 15

Question 7: A: 'Should we keep talking about this problem?' B: 'Yes, we need to discuss it ___ before we decide anything.'

Question 7 options
'Further' fits here because the discussion is an abstract, non-physical activity. 'Farther' would be wrong because it is only for measurable physical distances.
Q8 15

Question 8: The next town is much ___ than we expected — it is over 50 kilometers away.

Question 8 options
'Farther' is correct because the sentence describes a specific, measurable physical distance (50 kilometers). 'Further' is reserved for abstract or figurative contexts, not literal geography.
Q9 15

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

Question 9 options
  • She needs
  • studies.
  • with her
  • further help

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

The correct sentence is 'She needs further help with her studies.' 'Further' collocates with 'help' to mean additional assistance, and the subject-verb-object order is standard English.
Q10 15

Question 10: After the meeting, the manager said she would look ___ into the team's complaint before giving an answer.

Question 10 options
'Further' is the most natural and precise choice here because 'looking into' a complaint is an abstract, investigative process — not a physical action. 'Farther' only describes measurable physical distance.
Q11 15

Question 11: A student writes in a formal email to a teacher: 'Please send me ___ details about the assignment.' Which word fits the formal register AND the meaning?

Question 11 options
'Further' is correct in formal writing when asking for additional information. It fits both the formal register and the abstract (non-physical) meaning. 'Farther' would be incorrect because no physical distance is involved.
Q12 15

Question 12: Which form correctly completes this sentence? 'Of all the runners, Maria ran the ___ distance in the race.'

Question 12 options
'Farthest' is the superlative form of 'farther,' used when comparing three or more things and describing the greatest physical distance. 'Furthest' is used for abstract contexts, and 'farther/further' are comparative, not superlative.
Q13 15

Question 13: You can say 'I have no further questions' to mean you have no more questions to ask.

Question 13 options
True. 'Further questions' is a natural and correct collocation meaning additional questions. This is an abstract, non-physical use, so 'further' (not 'farther') is correct.
Q14 15

Question 14: The project needs ___ discussion before we can make a final decision.

Question 14 options
'Further' is used for abstract or figurative meanings, such as additional discussion, development, or progress. 'Farther' is reserved for physical distance only.
Q15 15

Question 15: He walked farther into the forest until he could not see the path. What does FARTHER mean in this sentence?

Question 15 options
'Farther' here means a greater physical distance — he moved deeper into the forest, covering more literal, measurable ground. It does not mean 'more time,' 'more quickly,' or 'more carefully.'
