A number of scuba divers __________ an underwater expedition. * ~plans ~was planning ~have planned June Walters, along with her friend, __________ baked some delicious cakes. * ~have ~has ~have been Both light and heat __________ causes of the sofa’s fading color. * ~was ~were ~is



Answer :

1. have planned
2. have baked
3. were

The correct answers are:

  • Have planned: Since "Scuba divers" is a plural subject, Have planned is the only fitting option.

  • Have: Considering "June Walters and her friend" is a plural subject and the blank space is followed by a verb in simple past form (baked), the root verb have is fitting for both cases.

  • Were: Once again, "Light and heat" is a plural subject, hence the only fitting option is were.
