Explanations

She set up a company.

Correct answer: set up

The phrasal verb "set up" means to establish or start something, like a business or company. "Set on" means to attack, and "set at" is not a standard phrasal verb in this context.

I'll go out if the weather improves.

Correct answer: improves

In first conditional sentences, we use present simple in the if-clause and future simple (will) in the main clause. The verb "improve" needs the third person singular -s ending for "weather."

They really think so.

Correct answer: really

"Really" is the correct adverb form meaning "truly" or "actually." "Real" is an adjective, and "reals" is not a word.

This project can bring you more money than you think.

Correct answer: bring

After modal verbs like "can," we use the base form of the verb without "to." "Can to bring" and "can brings" are grammatically incorrect.

I'd rather you didn't tell her this secret.

Correct answer: didn't tell

After "I'd rather" when referring to another person, we use the past simple tense to express a preference about someone else's action.

You are so talented.

Correct answer: are

The correct form of the verb "to be" for the subject "you" is "are." "Am" is used with "I," and "is" is used with third person singular subjects.

I was so tired at the end of the trip.

Correct answer: tired

"Tired" is the correct adjective form. "Tiring" describes something that causes tiredness, and "tireding" is not a word.

I wish she didn't know about it.

Correct answer: didn't know

After "wish" when referring to present situations we want to be different, we use the past simple tense. This expresses a hypothetical or unreal situation.

He was just about to leave.

Correct answer: to leave

The expression "about to" is followed by the infinitive with "to" to indicate that someone was on the point of doing something.

There is little space.

Correct answer: little

"Little" is used with uncountable nouns like "space" to mean "not much." "Few" is used with countable nouns, and "fews" is not a word.

She was angry at him for lying.

Correct answer: at

The preposition "at" is used with "angry" when referring to a person. We say "angry at someone" but "angry about something."

He refused to help.

Correct answer: to help

The verb "refuse" is followed by the infinitive with "to." We say "refuse to do something," not "refuse for doing something."

It depends on your decision.

Correct answer: on

The verb "depend" is followed by the preposition "on." This is a fixed combination in English.

He arrived at the party late.

Correct answer: at

The preposition "at" is used with specific locations or events like parties, meetings, and buildings. "Arrive at" is the correct phrasal verb.

I am interested in learning music.

Correct answer: in

The adjective "interested" is followed by the preposition "in." This is a fixed combination in English.
