Explanations
He looked tired, yet he kept working.
Correct answer: yet
"Yet" is used to show contrast between two ideas. "As" and "because" show cause and effect, which doesn't fit the context.
Please let me know when you need help.
Correct answer: when
"When" is used to refer to a specific time or situation. "For" and "unless" don't fit the context, and "none" is not a conjunction.
This cake tastes better than the one we made yesterday.
Correct answer: better
"Better" is the comparative form of "good." "More better" is redundant, "best" is superlative, and "none" doesn't complete the comparison.
No sooner had I closed my eyes than the alarm rang.
Correct answer: than
The correct correlative conjunction is "no sooner...than." "Then," "when," and "while" are not used with "no sooner" in this construction.
He's confident enough to handle it without any help.
Correct answer: without
"Without" means not having or using something. "By," "from," and "none" don't convey the intended meaning of independence.
By next summer, they will have lived in this city for ten years.
Correct answer: will have lived
Future perfect tense is used for actions that will be completed before a specific future time. Other options use incorrect verb tenses.
Each of the players was given a medal.
Correct answer: was
"Each" is singular and takes a singular verb. "Were," "are," and "none" are incorrect verb forms that don't agree with the singular subject.
We can't delay any longer; something must be done immediately.
Correct answer: be done
Passive voice is needed here ("be done"). "Must done," "must be do," and "must none" are grammatically incorrect.
Scarcely had the bell rung when the students rushed out.
Correct answer: Scarcely had the bell rung
This inversion structure requires "scarcely had + subject + past participle." Other options use incorrect verb forms or word order.
The manager demanded that every employee follow the rules.
Correct answer: follow
After verbs like "demand," we use the subjunctive mood (base form of the verb). "Follows," "followed," and "none" are not subjunctive forms.
He speaks as though he knew everything.
Correct answer: knew
After "as though" for unreal situations, we use past simple tense. "Known," "know," and "none" are incorrect verb forms.
The team, along with their coach, was celebrating the victory.
Correct answer: was
When using "along with," the verb agrees with the main subject "the team," which is singular. "Is," "to," and "none" are incorrect.
He suggested that she arrive earlier next time.
Correct answer: arrive
After "suggested," we use the subjunctive mood (base form of the verb). "Arrives," "arrived," and "none" are not subjunctive forms.
It's high time she went to the airport.
Correct answer: went
The expression "it's high time" is followed by past simple verb. "Goes," "go," and "none" are incorrect in this structure.
Only when he apologised was he allowed back.
Correct answer: was he
When "only when" begins a sentence, we use inversion (auxiliary verb before subject). Other options lack proper inversion.
