Explanations
This situation is much worse.
Correct answer: worse
"Worse" is the comparative form of "bad." "Much" is used with comparative adjectives. "Poor" and "bad" are not comparative forms and cannot be used with "much" in this context.
He was worn out.
Correct answer: out
The phrasal verb "worn out" means extremely tired or exhausted. "Worn off" means to gradually disappear, and "worn of" is not a standard phrasal verb.
I wish she had come an hour ago.
Correct answer: had come
When expressing regret about past events with "wish," we use the past perfect tense (had + past participle). "An hour ago" indicates a specific past time.
She grew up in Europe.
Correct answer: grew up
"Grew up" is the past simple form of "grow up," which means to spend childhood and develop into an adult. "Grow" is present tense, and "grown" needs auxiliary verbs.
We went to the party.
Correct answer: to
The preposition "to" is used with "go" to indicate movement toward a destination. "Go in" means to enter, and "go on" is used with activities or trips.
She built a small house.
Correct answer: built
"Built" is the correct past simple form of "build." "Build" is present tense, and "builded" is not a word - the irregular verb "build" becomes "built" in past tense.
I'd like to order it.
Correct answer: to order
After "would like," we use the infinitive with "to." The structure is "would like + to + verb." "Ordering" and "order" without "to" are incorrect in this context.
The house is for sale.
Correct answer: sale
"For sale" is the fixed expression meaning available to be bought. "Sales" is plural and refers to the activity of selling, and "sold" is the past participle.
Obviously, she is right.
Correct answer: Obviously
"Obviously" is the correct adverb form meaning clearly or evidently. "Obviious" and "Obviousli" are misspelled versions of the word.
This place is too filthy.
Correct answer: too
"Too" means excessively and is used with adjectives. "Lot" needs "a" before it ("a lot"), and "much" is used with uncountable nouns, not adjectives directly.
He has lived here since 2010.
Correct answer: since
"Since" is used with specific points in time (2010) in present perfect tense. "For" is used with periods of time, and "at" is used with specific clock times.
She hasn't finished her work yet.
Correct answer: yet
"Yet" is used in negative sentences and questions to mean up until now. "As now" and "still" are not used in this context with present perfect negative.
They haven't seen each other for years.
Correct answer: for
"For" is used with periods of time (years) in present perfect tense. "Since" is used with specific points in time, and "from" is not used in this context.
He was accused of stealing the money.
Correct answer: of
The verb "accuse" is followed by the preposition "of." The structure is "accuse someone of something." "To" and "for" are not used with "accuse."
She was delighted by the surprise.
Correct answer: by
In passive voice constructions, "by" indicates the agent or cause of the action. "Delighted by" means the surprise caused the delight. "For" and "on" are not used in this context.
