Section A: Grammar Multiple-Choice (1–10)

Q1. (2) were
Teaching note: Compound subject "The librarian and the students" is plural, so past tense plural verb "were" is needed. "Was / is / has" are singular and wrong.
Common mistake: using "was" because "librarian" is near the verb.

Q2. (3) was doing
Teaching note: "While" shows a longer action interrupted by "the lights went out" (past simple). Use past continuous "was doing".
Common mistake: using simple past "did".

Q3. (2) herself
Teaching note: Sarah is one female person; reflexive pronoun for she is "herself".
Common mistake: "myself" (wrong person).

Q4. (3) These
Teaching note: "books" is plural and near ("on the table near me") → "These". "That/This" singular; "Those" far.
Common mistake: "Those" for near objects.

Q5. (3) to
Teaching note: "return something to someone" is the fixed preposition pattern.
Common mistake: "at" or "in".

Q6. (2) look
Teaching note: "The boys" plural subject needs plural present verb "look". "looksed" is not a word.
Common mistake: "looks" (singular).

Q7. (2) loudly
Teaching note: adverb modifies verb "spoke" → "loudly". "loud" is adjective.
Common mistake: using adjective "loud".

Q8. (2) has
Teaching note: "One of the girls" means one (singular) → "has".
Common mistake: "have" (thinking of girls).

Q9. (3) was sleeping
Teaching note: interrupted past action → past continuous "was sleeping".
Common mistake: simple "slept".

Q10. (2) themselves
Teaching note: Amy and Ben = plural they → "themselves".
Common mistake: "himself" (only one male).
