Answer
(b) The Puritan attack on the church gained popularity in London.
The passage says the Puritan attack on the established church "gained popular strength, especially in East Anglia and among the lawyers and merchants of London". The other options misstate the passage: it is not about the USA, religious life was "uneasy" under Elizabeth I, and nothing says Puritans loved dispute and hatred.

Yet the Puritan attack on the established church gained popular strength, especially in East Anglia and among the lawyers and merchants of London. The movement found wide support among these new professional classes, in part because it was congenial to their growing discontent with mercantile economic restraints. During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, an uneasy peace prevailed within English religious life, but the struggle over the tone and purpose of the church continued. Many men and women were more and more forced to contend with the dislocations–emotional as well as physical–that accompanied the beginnings of a market economy. Subsistence farmers were called upon to enter the world of production for profit. Under the rule of primogeniture, younger sons tended to enter the professions (especially the law) with increasing frequency and seek their livelihood in the burgeoning cities. With the growth of a continental market for wool, land enclosure for sheep farming became an attractive alternative for large landowners, who thereby disrupted centuries-old patterns of rural communal life. The English countryside was plagued by scavengers, highwaymen, and vagabonds–a newly visible class of the poor who strained the ancient charity laws and pressed upon the townsfolk new questions of social responsibility. In the early decades of the seventeenth century some groups of worshipers began to separate themselves from the main body of their local parish church where preaching was inadequate and to engage an energetic “lecturer,” typically a young man with a fresh Cambridge degree, who was a lively speaker and steeped in reform theology. Some congregations went further, declared themselves separated from the national church, and remade themselves into communities of “visible saints,” withdrawn from the English City of Man into a self-proclaimed City of God.

(a) He is an honest person.
(b) She is an university student.
(c) They are an honorable team.
(d) I met an European artist.
Answer
(a) He is an honest person.
"An" is used before a vowel sound. "Honest" begins with a silent h, so it takes "an". "University" and "European" begin with a "yoo" sound, so they need "a", which makes (b) and (d) wrong. ("An honorable team" in (c) follows the same silent-h rule, but (a) is the standard textbook example.)

On the 16 August, 1987 when I was told I had cancer of the lungs, my relatives and friends were alarmed at the apparent with which I received the news. I suppose they overlooked the fact that at my age (I turned 72 on January 26) you develop a practical acceptance which helps face the impact of even such shockers. Besides, the tendency to set a good example as head of a large family somehow grows on you. However, despite the outward bravado, deep inside I was jolted by the news. This was because, as far back as I can remember, my health had never given me cause for concern.
The ‘I’ in this passage stands for:
(a) the nurse
(b) the patient
(c) the doctor
(d) an accident victim
Similar questions: The narrator in this passage suffers from: (2018 Practice MCQs (English)) · In terms of age, the patient is: (2018 Practice MCQs (English)) · On hearing of the disease that has struck him, t (2018 Practice MCQs (English))
Answer
(b) the patient
The narrator says he was told he had lung cancer and speaks about his own reaction to the news, so the "I" is the person who has the disease.

Diamond value is based on four characteristics: carat, color, clarity, and cut. A diamond’s size is measured by carat weight. There are 100 points in a carat and 142 carats in an ounce. Each point above 1 carat is more valuable than each point below 1 carat. Thus, a stone that weighs more than 1 carat is more valuable per point than a stone that is smaller than 1 carat. The scale used for rating a diamond’s color begins with “D,” which means the stone is absolutely colorless and therefore most valuable. “E” and “F” are almost colorless. All three are good for investments. A stone rated between “G” and “J” is good for jewelry. After that the stones take on a slightly yellowish color, which gets deeper as the grade declines. The clarity of stone is determined by its lack of carbon spots, inner flaws, and surface blemishes. While most of these are invisible to the unaided eye, they do affect the diamond’s brilliance. For jewelry, a diamond related VVSI (very very slight imperfections) is as close to flawless as one will find. After that the scale goes to VVS2, VS1, VS2 SI, SI2, I1, I2, and so on. Final characteristic is cut. When shaped (round, oval, emerald, marquise, pear, or heart), the diamond should be faceted so that light is directed into the depth of the prism and then reflected outward again. A well-cut diamond will separate the light into different colors when the light is reflected. Only stones of similar shape should have their reflective qualities compared, as some shapes are more reflective than others. For example, the round shape is the most reflective.
The passage is mainly about
(a) the cost of diamonds.
(b) qualities affecting diamond values.
(c) how to judge an expensive diamond.
(d) buying diamonds for jewelry
Similar questions: A stone that has no color at all is rated (2018 Practice MCQs (English)) · It can be inferred from the passage that a diamo (2018 Practice MCQs (English)) · The word absolutely is closest in meaning to (2018 Practice MCQs (English))

Gavin is a successful freelance IT consultant- but he hasn’t always been one. His original training was as an architect and he went on to practice that profession for several years, before losing his job in recession. Rather than look for another job within architecture, he decided to see if he could make a living from his favorite leisure occupation-computers. ‘I never imagined I’d make such good earning,’ he says. And he’s doing well- the quality of his work means that his phone is always ringing. ‘Because I know both the software and the hardware side of computers, I can find out where problems are quickly.’ It’s often the case in consultancy that different specialists are only able to work on certain aspects. Of course, there are disadvantages to the job. Scheduling can sometimes be a problem. If he’s already busy, and then someone calls with an urgent problem, it can either mean letting them down, and so missing out on the payment, or having to work very late to get all the jobs done. People are often very irritated with their computers and the delays breakdowns cause them, but Gavin knows this anger isn’t aimed at him. Most of his clients are private individuals working from home. However, he also deals, for example, with families where the parents want to learn about the Internet in order to keep up with their children, and occasionally with small companies, although crowded offices are not necessarily enjoyable places to do his work in. He’s lucky that the kind of client that accounts for most of his business is also the one he prefers to work with. It’s a strange truth that because he’s effective in his work, he doesn’t often need to be asked back to do more. But personal contact does help, in that clients are always recommending him to their friends and colleagues, and this of course saves the time and effort of advertising in newspapers or building a website. Despite the stress he feels sometimes as he hurries from one side of the city to the other to keep appointments, he enjoys his work. ‘When people suddenly realize what their machine can do for them and how many boring task it can take away from them, that’s brilliant. What that happens, it’s all worth it.’
What does he find most rewarding about his work?
(a) Seeing clients understand how computers can help them
(b) being able to manage his own time effectively
(c) learning to use new computer applications Grammar Causative Verbs The causative verbs are used to indicate that one person causes a second person to do something for the first person. Have, get, make are the causative verbs. Though ‘let’ and ‘help’ are not actually causatives, they function as causatives. General structures: a. Get and have can be used without agent. In such case, the structures to be used are: i) Subject +has/ have/had + agent + infinitive and ii) subject + get/gets/got + agent + to- infinitive For e.g.: My sister had a maid work in the kitchen. I got my friend to write an essay. b. Get and have can be used with object. In such case, the structures to be used are: i) Subject + has/have had + object+ V3 and ii) Subject + get/gets/got + object + V3 For e.g.: I had my job done yesterday. My dad got his letters typed. c. Make is used to make someone do something. In such case , the structure to be used is: subject + make/makes/made + agent + infinitive. For e.g.: John makes Julia wash his clothes. MCQs 1. I got my uncle (mend) the pressure cooker. a. to mend b. mending c. mended
(d) mend
Answer
(a) Seeing clients understand how computers can help them
Gavin says that when people suddenly realize what their machine can do for them and how many boring tasks it can take away, "that's brilliant... it's all worth it".

(b) I was shocked with the news.

Answer
(a) I was shocked by the news.
The object "me" becomes the subject "I", the verb takes the form "was shocked" (past simple passive), and the old subject follows "by". "Shocked at/with" is not the passive of this sentence, and "have" does not agree with "news".
