1.The
school provides all its students ___ books.
a) with
2.She �s keen ___ music. "______"
b)
on/So am I
3.My
German friend talked to a lot of people, but ____ of them could respond
in German.
a) none
4.Jack never travels by car
and________ .
c) I don �t
either (you could also say �neither do I � but it isn �t one of the options)
5. They had a _______
agreement to keep each other fully informed.
d)long-standing
6. The report was ____ of the
new bill
b) highly critical (after the verb �to be � we always use an adjective - adverbs then modify adjectives)
7.c) Not untill he apologises will I speak to
him again
prepare to sit an exam. (I think this might have it �s linguistic origins in the idea that you are generally sitting down when you do an exam, but that �s just a guess!)
8. He solved the exercise ____
c) incredibly quickly (you are describing the verb �solve � and adverbs modify other adverbs)
9. I have 2 sisters, ____ live abroad
a)
both of whom
10.
Marry bought me a lot of Italian books, _____ I could read without a
dictionary
a) most of wich ( �which � should be spelt with an �h � at the beginning - you are referring to things not people)
11. should be �I don �t know what this word means � - neither of your answers are correct, but this could be a typo!
Hope that helps!

I agree with Ishorton99 except for the 7th question. It must be �b �
as it is an inverted structure.
b) Not until does he apologise I will speak to him again.

I agree 100% with Ishorton99 and sorry duygy2 there is no way number 7 could be B as it makes no sense at all. It is definitely C.

I also agree with Ishorton99 answers and explanations. 7 is definitely C. As cheezels points out B makes no sense. it �s an inverted sentence we don �t need to add does. In the present simple affirmative we add do only in empathetic sentences.
In sentence 5 long standing means it has existed for a long time
In sentences 9 with expressions of quantity, with superlatives, with first, second etc, and with last and usually after prepositions we use whom
a number of whom, both of whom, some of whom, the majority of whom, the youngest of whom, the last of whom, etc.
Hope that helps |

Lindsey is spot-on on all of them. I would make one additional comment though:
In common use, "whom" is rapidly being replaced by "who". An excerpt from Ask Oxford:
Strictly speaking, it is correct to use who as the subject of a verb and whom as the object, e.g. �Who saw you? � but �Whom did you see? � It is also strictly right to use whom after a preposition, as in �To whom were you talking just now? � In practice, few people follow this rule; most use who all the time, and a sentence like �To whom were you talking? � can sound too formal.
Also: in #7 I �m pretty sure "untill" should be "until" (one L)--does anybody know a rule stating different?

I agree with Ishorton, too.
Douglas, you �re right: "until" is spelled with one L. "Till", on the other hand, is spelled with a double L.
