Explanations

It's such a difficult project.

Correct answer: such

"Such" is used before adjective + noun combinations, while "so" is used before adjectives alone. "Such as" is used for giving examples, not for emphasis.

The reality is different.

Correct answer: reality

"Reality" is the correct noun form. "Really" is an adverb, and "realiity" is misspelled.

You should reduce the costs.

Correct answer: reduce

After modal verbs like "should," we use the base form of the verb without "to."

I could work much more several months ago.

Correct answer: could

"Could" is the past form of "can" and is appropriate for past ability. "Was work" is grammatically incorrect.

He made several mistakes.

Correct answer: made

"Make mistakes" is the correct collocation. "Mades" is not a word, and we use "make" not "do" with mistakes.

She would be very angry if she knew it.

Correct answer: knew

This is a second conditional sentence, which uses "would" in the main clause and past simple in the if-clause.

She didn't order them to stay there.

Correct answer: to stay

After verbs like "order," we use the infinitive form with "to" when there's an object before the verb.

She shouldn't be ashamed of it.

Correct answer: be ashamed of

After modal verbs like "shouldn't," we use the base form of the verb. "Ashamed" is followed by the preposition "of."

Will she invite us to celebrate it?

Correct answer: to celebrate

After "invite," we use the infinitive form with "to" when there's an object before the verb.

I'm so excited with the news.

Correct answer: with

"Excited" is typically followed by "with" when referring to news or information, though "about" is also acceptable in some contexts.

He is confident in his success.

Correct answer: in

"Confident" is followed by the preposition "in" when referring to something specific.

She is married to a doctor.

Correct answer: to

The correct preposition after "married" when referring to the person is "to."

No sooner had the bell rung than the students rushed out.

Correct answer: No sooner had

The correct structure is "no sooner...than" with past perfect in the first clause and simple past in the second clause.

Hardly had I opened the door when the lights went out.

Correct answer: went

The correct structure is "hardly...when" with past perfect in the first clause and simple past in the second clause.

By the end of this month, we will have completed this course.

Correct answer: will have completed

Future perfect tense ("will have + past participle") is used for actions that will be completed before a specific future time.
