Fill in the Blanks questions with solutions

6 from the 198-question pool, worked in full.

  1. 1. Fill in the blank: "The clerk ___ the ledger before submitting it for review."

    • A. checked ✓
    • B. check
    • C. checking
    • D. checks

    Solution. The sentence describes a completed past action, so the simple past tense "checked" is correct.

  2. 2. Fill in the blank: "She is good ___ mathematics."

    • A. in
    • B. with
    • C. on
    • D. at ✓

    Solution. The correct preposition idiom is "good at" a subject or skill.

  3. 3. Fill in the blank: "Either the agent or the customers ___ responsible for the delay."

    • A. are ✓
    • B. is
    • C. was
    • D. has

    Solution. With "either...or", the verb agrees with the subject nearer to it; "customers" is plural, so "are" is correct.

  4. 4. The clerk was praised for his _______ attention to the shortfall calculations.

    • A. meticulously
    • B. meticulous ✓
    • C. meticulousness
    • D. meticulate

    Solution. An adjective is needed to modify the noun "attention", so "meticulous" is correct.

  5. 5. Fill in the two blanks with the most appropriate pair of words: "Despite the ______ in rainfall, farmers in the region managed to secure a ______ harvest."

    • A. increase, poor
    • B. decline, poor
    • C. surplus, bad
    • D. decline, good ✓

    Solution. 'Despite' signals a contrast, so a 'decline' in rainfall paired with a still-'good' harvest fits the sentence logic.

    • A. assess
    • B. assessing
    • C. assesses
    • D. assessed ✓
