English Diagnostic Tests

Uprooting such anxious habits is not an easy task. “Such nervous habits are not easy to uproot” is the proper form. Option A is therefore accurate. Words or grammar errors can be found in options B, C, and D.

Put “ate” in place of “eats”:

Because it substitutes the present tense “eats” for the past tense “ate,” the original sentence is incorrect. The past tense is the appropriate verb tense to use when discussing an event that happened in the past (Last Saturday).

Correct: Since it introduces a substitution, the phrase “instead of” is appropriate. It implies that Laila should read a magazine rather than complete her homework in this particular situation.

Because Option B preserves appropriate punctuation, article usage, and clarity, it is the right choice. The breakdown is as follows:

When joining two related independent clauses, the semicolon (;) is used appropriately.

The definite article “the” should come before “First Man” when using “the First Man.”

“Rudest” is the proper superlative form to use in this sentence because it compares the student to every other student the speaker has ever taught.

The passive form of the sentence, “Jill’s work could not be done,” highlights how the loud music affected her ability to finish the task. It implies that the outside disruption was severe enough to keep Jill from completing her assignments.

True: The word “plot” is suitable since it describes a small area of land set aside for a specific use, like construction or gardening. It implies that there are plans for a particular plot of land in this context.
