B

C

D
on
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
"The committee has submitted its report on the students' riot."
When presenting information that discusses a certain topic, then you are presenting information "on" that topic. "About" can also be used but it is less formal and not as precise as "on" If you make use of "about", you might not be suggesting that the central topic in the research is the "students' riot" but, there is a little bit of information about it in the report. This is why D. on is the correct answer.

Joel is one of those fanatical sports fans......... about nothing else
A
who talks
B
who talked
C
who talk
D
who is talking
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
"Joel is one of those fanatical sports fans who talk about nothing else."
Sometimes, when who, that, whose and which is used, confusion about the choice of appropriate verbs sets in. The law of concord provides that who will refer to the noun or pronoun that comes before it and that noun or pronoun must become the subject. In the sentence above, who refers to the "fanatical sports fans" which is now the subject and it attracts the plural verb "talk" (plural of talks). But this does not change the fact that "Joel talks about nothing else", however, Joel is one of those "fanatical sports fans who talk about nothing else."

No sooner............it started to rain
A
did he arrive home when
B
had he arrived home than
C
than he arrived home
D
when he arrive home
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
"No sooner...than" is the appropriate correlative conjunction. This means that whenever you use "no sooner", the appropriate conjunction is "than".
The complete sentence would be: "No sooner had he arrived home than it started to rain."
The conjunction is used to indicate that one event happens immediately after another. In this case, the sentence means that as soon as he arrived home, it started to rain.
