      Oh, I typed wrongly.


      For Q2, the given option has included\" Who\" & the answer is \"What\" instead of Who.

      For Q3, the answer marked in the system is \"what\" instead of \"How\".

      It sounds strange to me.

      Q2) _ is someone who lift weights call?
      a) How
      b) What
      c) Which
      d)Why

      Ans is: How (Is it correct?)

      Q3) _is the weather in Japan during Spring?
      a) How
      b) What
      c)Why
      d) When

      Ans is: How (Is it correct?)

      I think Q2 should be ans (b) What.
      Q3 should be (a) How, so your answer's right 🙂

        Your Q3 is correct but your Q2 is wrong the correct answer should be c, What.
        Ans is: How (Is it correct?)

        I think Q2 should be ans (b) What.
        Q3 should be (a) How, so your answer's right 🙂

          In questions, \"who\" and \"what\" act as (interrogative) pronouns that represent the answers to the questions.


          If we replace \"someone who lifts weights\" with \"he\", Q2 would read as:
          _ is he called?
          Then it would be easier to see that the appropriate pronoun to use is \"What\" and not \"who\" in this case.

          For Q3, the typical usage is \"How is the weather?\" and \"What is the weather like?\". The word \"like\" wasn't in Q3, unfortunately, or the answer would be more obvious.
          Actually, I think \"What is the weather like\" is a better construction because What is ... like is used to describe the character or quality of something. \"How is the weather\" is acceptable and widely used, but if we want to be picky, it can sound like we're asking about the mood of the weather i.e. how it's feeling :rotflmao:

            Need help!


            The pair of goggles _______ the water out of his eyes. He could see clearly underwater.
            (1) kept
            (2) keep
            (3) keeps
            (4) keeping

            Answered as (1) kept. Thought that could is past tense of can and hence also need to use kept. The right answer should be (3). Anyone can help to explain…

                    Hi hi


                    But the question used \"The pair of goggles\" which refer to a specific pair of goggles rather than \"A pair of googles\" which may be a universal fact. So thought that kept shd b more appropriate.
