Q01Practice Question · অনুশীলন
English Language & LiteratureGrammar & UsageSentence Structure & SyntaxSubject-Verb Agreement

Choose the correct verb: “Each of the students ___ a library card.”

Learn the reasoning, not just the answer.

A little clarity goes a long way.

  • A (have):
    The nearby plural noun “students” does not control the verb; the subject “Each” is singular.
  • B (are having):
    “Are” is plural and does not agree with the singular subject “Each”; possession also normally uses a simple tense.
  • C (has):
    “Each” takes a singular verb, so “Each of the students has a library card” is correct.
  • D (were having):
    “Were” is plural and cannot agree with “Each” in this ordinary affirmative sentence.
KEY TAKEAWAY
In “each of + plural noun”, the head subject remains singular.

English Language & LiteratureGrammar & UsageVerbs & ModalsSubjunctive Mood

Choose the standard mandative subjunctive: “The committee recommended that the report ___ revised.”

Learn the reasoning, not just the answer.

A little clarity goes a long way.

  • A (is):
    “Is” is an indicative form, not the mandative subjunctive explicitly requested.
  • B (was):
    “Was” describes a past state; it is not the requested mandative subjunctive after “recommended that”.
  • C (has):
    “Has revised” would be active and would lack an object here; the report needs to receive the revision.
  • D (be):
    The mandative subjunctive uses the base form “be”, regardless of the subject: “that the report be revised”.
KEY TAKEAWAY
Recommend, insist and suggest can take “that + subject + base verb” in the mandative subjunctive.
Q03Practice Question · অনুশীলন
English Language & LiteratureVocabulary & Reading ComprehensionWord PowerSynonyms & Antonyms

Which word is closest in meaning to “meticulous”?

Learn the reasoning, not just the answer.

A little clarity goes a long way.

  • A (Careless):
    Careless means not paying enough attention; it is an antonym of meticulous.
  • B (Thorough):
    Meticulous means showing great care and attention to detail; “thorough” is the closest option.
  • C (Hasty):
    Hasty means done too quickly, often without care; it does not imply attention to detail.
  • D (Indifferent):
    Indifferent means unconcerned or uninterested; it does not mean careful.
KEY TAKEAWAY
A meticulous editor checks small details, not merely the general message.
Q04Practice Question · অনুশীলন
English Language & LiteratureEnglish LiteratureAuthors, Works & Literary TermsWilliam ShakespeareTragedies

Which of the following is a tragedy by William Shakespeare?

Learn the reasoning, not just the answer.

A little clarity goes a long way.

  • A (Macbeth):
    Macbeth follows ambition, murder and the downfall of its central character; it is one of Shakespeare’s major tragedies.
  • B (As You Like It):
    As You Like It is a pastoral comedy, not a tragedy.
  • C (Twelfth Night):
    Twelfth Night is a romantic comedy involving mistaken identity, not a tragedy.
  • D (A Midsummer Night’s Dream):
    A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a comedy featuring lovers and fairies, not a tragedy.
KEY TAKEAWAY
Other major Shakespearean tragedies include Hamlet, Othello and King Lear.

English Language & LiteratureGrammar & UsageVerbs & ModalsFinite vs Non-Finite VerbsGerund

In “Swimming is good exercise,” the word “Swimming” functions as a:

Learn the reasoning, not just the answer.

A little clarity goes a long way.

  • A (Finite verb):
    The finite verb is “is”; “Swimming” does not carry the sentence’s tense.
  • B (Past participle):
    A past participle of swim is “swum”; “Swimming” is an -ing form used as a noun here.
  • C (Gerund):
    “Swimming” names an activity and serves as the subject, so it functions as a gerund.
  • D (Preposition):
    A preposition introduces a relationship such as in, at or under; “Swimming” does not do that.
KEY TAKEAWAY
An -ing form functioning as a noun is a gerund; context determines its function.
Q06Practice Question · অনুশীলন
English Language & LiteratureGrammar & UsageSentence Structure & SyntaxConditionals3rd

Complete the third conditional: “If I had known about the meeting, I ___ attended it.”

Learn the reasoning, not just the answer.

A little clarity goes a long way.

  • A (will have):
    “Will have” forms a future perfect construction; this sentence imagines a different past.
  • B (would have):
    A third conditional pairs “if + past perfect” with “would have + past participle”.
  • C (would):
    “Would” alone requires a base verb; “would attended” is ungrammatical.
  • D (had):
    “Had attended” is past perfect, not the conditional consequence required here.
KEY TAKEAWAY
Third conditional: an unreal past condition and its unreal past result.
Progress can be as simple as one more question.
