B

D

The correct option is "A. neither of them has" because the subject "neither of them" is singular, so it should be followed by the singular form of the verb "has." The verb "has" agrees with the singular subject "neither of them." Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Two young boys have been caught with parts of the stolen machine but neither of them has admitted stealing it."

Emeka is now a ..... student but it took him years to .......?
A
matured / mature
B
mature / mature
C
mature / matured
D
matured / matured
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
"Emeka is now a mature student, but it took him years to mature."
The word "mature" is both an adjective and a verb. When it comes before a noun as in "mature student", it is an adjective used to describe a fully grown individual (in this case a fully grown student). When it is used as a verb, it means to fully become developed over time.
Here are cases where "matured" can be used:
As a verb (past tense):
"Over the years, Emeka has matured into a responsible adult."
In this sentence, "matured" is the past tense of the verb "mature."
As an adjective:
"The wine has been carefully aged and matured to perfection."
In this case, "matured" is used to describe the wine that has undergone a process of ageing and development over time.
