Archery is the sport of shooting arrows with a bow. Swimming involves moving through water, racing involves running or driving fast, and diving involves jumping into water — none of these involve a bow and arrow.

Question 2: She goes to the pool three times a week because she loves ___.

Question 2 options
Swimming is correct because it is the individual sport done in a pool. Skiing is done on snow, surfing is done on ocean waves, and archery is done with a bow and arrow — none of these fit a pool setting.
Q3 15

Question 3 options
False because individual means done by one person alone, not by a group. An individual sport is one you do on your own.

Question 4 options
Compete means to take part in a contest to try to win. Race captures this idea of trying to beat others. Rest means to relax, watch means to look at something, and help means to assist someone — none of these mean competing.

Question 7 options
Skiing is correct because it is an individual sport done on snow in winter. Swimming is done in water, sailing is done on water with a boat, and skateboarding is done on hard surfaces — none of these involve snow.
Q8 15

Question 8: He needs a lot of ___ to hit the target with his bow and arrow.

Question 8 options
Precision is correct because it means being very exact and accurate, which is needed in archery. Speed means moving fast, luck means good fortune by chance, and height means how tall something is — these do not describe the skill of hitting a target accurately.
Q9 15

Question 9: Put the words/chunks in the correct order to make a natural phrase:

Question 9 options
  • take up
  • a new
  • sport
  • individual

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

The correct order is 'take up a new individual sport' because 'take up' is the phrasal verb meaning to start an activity, followed by the noun phrase 'a new individual sport.'
Q10 15

Question 10: Swimming is great for ___ your heart rate and keeping your body healthy.

Question 10 options
Maintaining is correct because it means keeping something at the same good level. Losing means no longer having something, breaking means damaging something, and forgetting means failing to remember — none of these fit the idea of keeping a heart rate steady.
Q11 15

Question 11: Which option sounds most INFORMAL and friendly, as if talking to a friend about sports?

Question 11 options
Give it a go is informal and friendly, used when encouraging someone to try something. The other options — attempt the activity, participate in the sport, and engage in physical exercise — all sound formal or official, not like casual conversation with a friend.
Q12 15

Question 12: She decided to take up ___. She bought a board and went to the beach every weekend.

Question 12 options
Surfing is correct because it is a sport done on a board in the ocean at a beach. Skiing is done on snow, bowling is done indoors with pins, and weightlifting is done in a gym — none of these match a beach and board context.
Q13 15

Question 13: The word BOOST is commonly used with words like 'strength' and 'energy,' as in 'boost your strength.'

Question 13 options
True because boost means to increase or improve something, and it collocates naturally with nouns like strength, energy, confidence, and performance.
Q14 15

Question 14: He has been doing this sport for ten years and wants to win a ___. He trains every day.

Question 14 options
Competition is correct because it means an event where people try to win, which fits someone who trains daily with a goal. Hobby means a fun activity done for pleasure only, lesson means a class for learning, and practice means repeating something to improve — these do not describe a formal event to win.
Q15 15

Question 15: Running is good for your body. What does ACTIVE mean in this sentence: 'It helps you stay active and healthy every day'?

Question 15 options
Active here means moving your body and doing physical exercise regularly. It does not mean excited, popular, or early — those are different meanings not connected to physical movement in this context.
