In the question below, fill the gap with the most appropriate option:
No sooner .... to fall
A
did we set out when the rain had started
B
had we set out than the rain started
C
were we setting out than the rain started
D
we had set out when the rain started
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The sentence structure "No sooner... than" is used to express that one action or event happens immediately after another. In this case, we want to convey that the rain started immediately after we set out.
A. did we set out when the rain had started: The use of "did we set out" is not the most suitable structure for expressing the immediate sequence of events. Also, the use of "had started" implies a past perfect tense, which doesn't align with the intended meaning.
B. had we set out than the rain started: This option correctly uses the structure "No sooner... than," indicating the immediate succession of events. It is the most appropriate choice.
C. were we setting out than the rain started: While this option is grammatically correct, it doesn't use the past perfect tense, and the use of "were we setting out" sounds less natural in this context.
D. we had set out when the rain started: This option uses "when" instead of "than," and the use of "had set out" implies a past perfect tense, which doesn't precisely convey the idea of immediate succession.
Therefore, option B, "No sooner had we set out than the rain started," is the most suitable choice as it accurately expresses the sequence of events with the appropriate structure.

Solution
In the question below, fill the gap with the most appropriate option:
The carpenter asked for ten packets of .... nails
A
fifteen-centimetre
B
fifteen centimetres'
C
fifteen- centimetres
D
fifteen-centimetres'
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
When using compound adjectives (adjective phrases describing a noun), the correct structure is:
Number + singular measurement + noun
"fifteen-centimetre nails" is correct because "fifteen-centimetre" acts as a compound adjective modifying "nails".
In compound adjectives, the measurement unit remains singular (e.g., "a five-kilometre race", "a ten-dollar bill").

Good schools don't just teach their students they ....
A
inform
B
instruct
C
educate
D
coach
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The sentence is making a contrast between mere teaching and holistic development. Inform means to give facts or information only. That’s too limited for what good schools do. Instruct means to give directions or formal teaching, often focused on procedures. Coach suggests training for a specific skill, often in sports or performance contexts. Educate, however, goes beyond passing on information or instructions. It involves developing the learner intellectually, morally and socially.
