2981. Not only the parents but also their son _ for interview.

• A. Has called
• B. Have called
• C. Have been called
• D. Has been called

Explanation: Parents are plural but the blank follows the noun 'son' which is singular. Hence "has" instead of "have" is the right option.The sentence refers to an act being done to the noun instead of the son doing something. Hence it will be: 'been called' instead of just 'called'

2982. choose the correct option

• A. Either the obtuse quack or the camel-men is stupid.
• B. Either the obtuse quack or the camel-men has stupidity.
• C. Either the obtuse quack or the camel-men was stupid.
• D. Either the obtuse quack or the camel-men were stupid.

Explanation: The correct answer is Option D: 'Either the obtuse quack or the camel-men were stupid.' In this sentence, the subject is a compound subject connected by 'or', and the verb must agree with the nearest noun, which is 'camel-men' (plural). Therefore, the verb 'were' is appropriate as it matches the plural noun. Option A is incorrect because 'is stupid' does not agree with 'camel-men'. Option B is incorrect as 'has stupidity' is not a suitable expression and also does not agree with 'camel-men'. Option C is incorrect since 'was stupid' only agrees with 'quack' (singular) and not 'camel-men' (plural). Thus, Option D is the only choice that maintains proper subject-verb agreement.

2983. Spot the error Buster, my kitten, does not realise how much his playfulness inconvenience me.

• A. Does not
• B. How
• C. His
• D. Inconvenience

Explanation: The sentence should read: "Buster, my kitten, does not realise how much his playfulness inconveniences me."The error is in the verb agreement: the subject "playfulness" is a singular noun, but the verb "inconvenience" should be replaced with "inconveniences" (singular) to agree with the singular subject.However, a more natural correction would be to change the sentence to:"Buster, my kitten, does not realise how much his playfulness inconveniences me."Or"Buster, my kitten, does not realise how much his playful antics inconvenience me."

2984. Choose the correct option

• A. Neither of the three boys are happy
• B. None of the two boys are happy.

• D. None of the two boys is happy.

2988. Choose the correctly structured sentence:

• A. Had he lived in England he would miss his family.
• B. Had he lived in England he would have missed his family.
• C. Had he lived in England he had missed his family.
• D. Had he live in England he will missed his family.

Explanation: Option B is correct because it is the only sentence that adheres perfectly to grammar rules. The first part of the sentence is in the past perfect tense (indicated by the verb form "had he"), so the next part of the sentence should also conform to the same tense so the correct context should be "would have".

2989. Select the option which fits appropriately in the blank:It will _ me a lot of money.

• A. Costs
• B. Cost
• C. Costed
• D. Is costing

Explanation: The correct option that fits appropriately in the blank is:"It will cost me a lot of money."The correct form of the verb "cost" to use in this sentence is the simple present tense "cost" as it indicates a general or future action. The other options are not suitable in this context. "Costs" is also in the present tense, but it is used for third-person singular subjects (e.g., "It costs a lot of money."). "Costed" is incorrect as it is not a standard form of the verb. "Is costing" is in the present progressive tense, which doesn't fit well with the sentence's context.

2990. The headmaster _ to speak to you.

• A. Wants
• B. Is wanting
• C. Was wanting
• D. Want

Explanation: "The headmaster wants to speak to you" in Option A sounds most appropriate because "headmaster" is a singular noun so we should complement it with a singular verb - eliminating Option D. The tense is simple present indicated by the verb "speak", hence the present continuous form "is wanting" in Option B is also incorrect. while the past tense form in Option C is also incorrect.
