Vocabulary Test 1
We shall be REACHING the station in 15 minutes.
  • getting to
Explanation:

The correct answer to complete the sentence

"We shall be REACHING the station in 15 minutes" would be: D) getting to 

Explanation: "Reaching" in this context means arriving at or reaching the destination of the station.

Option D ("getting to") is the most appropriate choice because it directly describes the action of arriving at the station, which fits naturally with the sentence.

Options A ("moving to"), B ("leaving for"), and C ("staying at") do not accurately convey the meaning of reaching a destination.

Therefore, Option D ("getting to") is the best choice to complete the sentence in a natural and grammatically correct way.

I am not going to write any more NOW.
  • then
  • at the moment
  • after that
  • early
Explanation:

The correct answer to complete the sentence

"I am not going to write any more NOW"

would be: B) at the moment 

Explanation: "Now" in this context refers to the present time.

Option B ("at the moment") is the most appropriate choice as it indicates the current time or present moment.

Options A ("then"), C ("after that"), D ("early"), and E ("before") do not convey the same meaning as "now" or "at the moment."

Therefore, Option B ("at the moment") is the best choice to complete the sentence naturally.

  • behind
  • in front of
  • between
  • Over
Explanation:

The correct answer to complete the sentence

"They had a big house and AT THE BACK OF it there was a small lake" would be: A) behind Explanation: "At the back of" indicates that something is located behind or to the rear of another object.

Option A ("behind") correctly describes the position of the small lake relative to the big house, indicating that the lake is situated behind the house.

Options B ("in front of"), C ("between"), and D ("over") do not accurately convey the position of the lake in relation to the house.

Therefore, Option A ("behind") is the most appropriate choice to complete the sentence naturally and correctly.
