1381. The news was__________good to be true.

• A. very
• B. too
• C. so
• D. as

Explanation: “Too good to be true” is the fixed expression for something seeming so favorable that it is difficult to believe. Very good does not normally take the following “to be true” construction with this meaning.

1382. How did these things come __________?

• A. about
• B. into
• C. at
• D. down

Explanation: “Come about” means happen or take place, so the question asks how these things happened. “Come into” normally needs an object, such as “come into the room” or “come into possession.”

1383. I am exhausted, let's _________a day.

• A. call it
• B. call at
• C. call off
• D. call in

Explanation: “Call it a day” means stop working for the day, which suits the speaker’s exhaustion. The other phrasal verbs do not express this idiom.

1384. He has _________ his mind to Join Pak Army.

• A. make by
• B. made with
• C. made by
• D. made up

Explanation: “Make up one’s mind” means reach a decision, so “made up his mind” correctly introduces his decision to join the army. The other combinations are not standard expressions.

1385. It is already 8 o'clock. Can you _____ time to catch the bus?

• A. have it in
• B. have enough
• C. make it in
• D. made it

Explanation: “Make it in time” means arrive early enough for something, so the complete phrase is “Can you make it in time to catch the bus?” The other options do not form a correct expression.

• A. Bibliophile
• B. Photophile
• C. Orophile
• D. Selenophile

• A. Iconoclast
• B. Iconography

• A. Impregnable
• B. Inviolable
• C. Unassailable
• D. Invulnerable

1389. A picture in water color on wall:

• A. Epitaph
• B. Epicure
• C. Fatal
• D. Fresco
