Here are the correct answers for your English grammar questions, along with brief explanations for each. 1. Whose book is that? It’s...
- Correct Answer: c) hers
- Explanation: In this sentence, we need a possessive pronoun to replace "her book."
- Her (a) is a possessive adjective and must be followed by a noun (e.g., "It's her book").
- Hers (c) stands alone and indicates ownership without repeating the noun.
2. Who advised you to choose this profession? My father...
- Correct Answer: d) did
- Explanation: When answering a question asked in the Past Simple tense ("Who advised..."), we use the auxiliary verb did to avoid repeating the main verb.
- "My father did" is short for "My father advised me."
- Options like does (present) or has done (present perfect) do not match the tense of the original question.
3. ... is Dan’s sister? She is a secretary at our college.
- Correct Answer: c) what
- Explanation: While this may seem counterintuitive if you are looking for a name, the answer provided ("She is a secretary") describes her profession/occupation.
- In English, when asking about someone's job or role, we use What.
- If the answer had been a name (e.g., "She is Jane"), the question would have used Who.
- How, Where, and When do not fit the context of identifying a person's professional status.
