I know it's a secret, so I _____ tell anyone.
A
couldn't
B
shan't
C
needn't
D
mightn't
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
"shan't" is the contraction for "shall not" and this is the modal verb used here because part of secret-keeping is the obligation not to tell anyone otherwise it is not longer a secret. The other modal verbs - "couldn't", "needn't" and "mightn't" - do not reflect the obligation. They do not show that it is compulsory to not tell anyone.

From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences.
It is always ________ that gets the blame
A
me
B
I
C
myself
D
mine
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The verb 'to be' (i.e. am, is, are, were, been and being) does not. take an object. This means that the pronoun that comes after it must be a subject. E.g.
1. It is I who gave you that pen.
2. It was they not we, who jumped the fence.
The sentence "It is always ________ that gets the blame" therefore, takes the subject "I" as in:
"It is always I that gets the blame."
