Hi Toxeedo

First you need to tell us what you think the answers might be.

i cant answer these questions really iam in a tight spot

can u answer them

please please help me

english teachers iam calling for u all i wanna to pass this exam in order not to be kicked off my school

[Torsten]

Hi Toxeedo,

Welcome to english-test.net and many thanks for posting all those questions. Since your English seems to be pretty good I'm sure you can answer most of the questions you posted correctly. Also, you need to accept the fact that learning English is a process. It's like a sport. If you want to become a good runner, you need practice running. You cannot ask other people to run for you. The questions you've posted are multiple choice. This means, if even you don't have any idea as to what the correct answers might be (which I doubt), you still have a 25% chance to hit the correct answer if you just select an answer at random. However, you don't even make that effort. You think that other people will work for you. This kind of attitude won't get you anywhere.

If we do all the work for you, your teacher can see this and he/she will know that you did not want to work for yourself.

We are here to help you provided you show us that you are willing to make an effort to improve your English skills.

[Yankee]

Hi Toxeedo

The instructions for the second part say that you should choose the meanings of the underlined words. Since none of the words were underlined in your post, I have underlined the words that apparently should have been underlined:

[Yankee]

Hi Toxeedo

I'd say most of the answers you chose are the ones your teacher wants. There are three I would change:

11-d ==> Option d is possible, but option a sounds more natural to me

21-a ==> No, the correct answer is b (World War I)

24-c ==> No, the correct answer is a (near)
