Detailed Explanations
See you again in three weeks when I'm back from my trip.
Correct answer: in
We use "in" for periods of time (three weeks). "Of" and "on" are not used with time periods in this context.
It stopped raining just as we were eating dinner on the balcony.
Correct answer: were eating
Past continuous tense "were eating" describes an ongoing action interrupted by another action. "Was" doesn't agree with plural "we," and "is" is present tense.
I don't have to get up so early on Sundays.
Correct answer: to get
"Have to" expresses obligation and is followed by the infinitive with "to." "Get" and "gets" are incorrect forms after "have."
His last attempt was completely unsuccessful. He failed again.
Correct answer: unsuccessful
The context requires a negative adjective (unsuccessful) to contrast with "failed again." "Successful" means the opposite, and "unsuces" is misspelled.
The most suitable candidate might have been chosen already.
Correct answer: might have been
After modal verbs like "might," we use "have + past participle" for past possibilities. "Has" and "had" are incorrect verb forms after "might."
Yesterday, I drank a big glass of water after my run.
Correct answer: drank
Past simple "drank" is correct for completed actions in the past. "Drunk" is the past participle, and "drink" is present tense.
Her grandfather grows fresh vegetables in his garden every summer.
Correct answer: grows
Present simple "grows" is correct for habitual actions. "Grew" is past tense, and "grown" is past participle needing an auxiliary verb.
I didn't need to spend more than two hours on the project.
Correct answer: to spend
"Need" is followed by the infinitive with "to" in negative constructions. "Spend" and "spends" are incorrect forms after "need."
This design looks so unusual to you.
Correct answer: looks
Present simple "looks" agrees with singular subject "design." "Look" doesn't agree, and "looking" needs an auxiliary verb.
There were many reasons to be hopeful.
Correct answer: were
"Were" agrees with plural "reasons." "Was" is singular, and "will" is future tense, incorrect for this statement.
The lake suddenly became calm after the storm passed.
Correct answer: became
Past simple "became" is correct for completed actions in the past. "Become" is base form, and "becomes" is present tense.
We were surprised that she managed to finish the task without help.
Correct answer: without
"Without" means not having assistance. "At," "with," and "by" don't convey the intended meaning of independence.
The meeting will start as soon as everyone is seated.
Correct answer: is
"Everyone" is singular and takes a singular verb. "Are" and "were" are plural forms that don't agree with the singular subject.
He apologized because he hadn't seen my message earlier.
Correct answer: hadn't seen
Past perfect "hadn't seen" is correct for an action completed before another past action. "Saw" and "see" are incorrect verb forms.
They plan to expand the company once the market becomes stable again.
Correct answer: becomes
Present simple "becomes" is used in time clauses for future reference. "Became" is past tense, and "become" is base form.
