Q7 15

Question 7: A: 'Why didn't Tom wait for me?' B: 'He never waits. He is really ___ and always leaves early.'

Impatient fits the dialogue because Tom cannot wait for others and always leaves early. Selfish means only thinking of yourself, arrogant means feeling superior, and careless means not paying attention.
Q8 15

Question 8: She lost her friend's book and broke her phone. She is ___, not mean — she just does not pay attention.

Question 8 options
Careless is the only word that fits because it describes someone who makes mistakes by not paying attention, not someone who acts badly on purpose. Greedy, jealous, and rude all imply different problems.
Q9 15

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

Question 9 options
  • so arrogant
  • He is
  • to work with him
  • that nobody wants

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

The correct order is 'He is so arrogant that nobody wants to work with him' because the 'so...that' structure shows cause and result, and the adjective follows the verb 'is'.
Q10 15

Question 10: He only thinks about himself and never helps anyone else. He is a very ___ person.

Question 10 options
Selfish is the most natural and precise word because it describes someone who only cares about themselves. Unhappy describes sadness, lazy describes not wanting to work, and rude describes speaking badly.
Q11 15

Question 11: Which word would you use in a formal written report to describe a manager who takes credit for other people's work and believes he is superior to everyone?

Question 11 options
Arrogant is the most appropriate formal word for someone who believes they are superior to others. Big-headed is informal/slang, show-off is informal, and proud does not carry the same negative weight in formal writing.
Q12 15

Question 12: Choose the correct form to complete the sentence: 'Her ___ attitude made it very hard to work with her.'

Question 12 options
Selfish is the adjective form needed to modify the noun 'attitude'. Selfishness is a noun, selfishly is an adverb, and selfless means the opposite.
Q13 15

Question 13: The word BOASTFUL is commonly used to describe someone who talks too much about their own achievements in order to impress others.

Question 13 options
True because boastful describes exactly this behaviour — talking proudly and too much about your own successes to make others admire you.
Q14 15

Question 14: She was angry because her colleague got the promotion she wanted. Which word best describes her feeling toward her colleague?

Question 14 options
Jealous precisely describes the feeling of wanting something another person has, especially a job or success. Greedy means wanting more in general, selfish means thinking only of yourself, and arrogant means feeling superior.
Q15 15

Question 15: He kept talking about his new car and his big house all evening. In this sentence, what does BOASTFUL mean?

Question 15 options
In this context, boastful means always talking proudly about what you own or have done to impress others. It does not mean nervous, generous, or dishonest.
