answer :
After John ate dinner, he
wrote several letters and went to bed.

in answer A is incorrect because the verb is wrote, which is verb 2, so
we must change eaten (verb 3) to ate (verb 2). Thus A is the correct answer.

George
has not completed the assignment yet, and Maria hasn’t
neither.
A B C D
Correct
answer :
George has not completed the
assignment yet, and Maria hasn’t neither
Explanation
:
In this sentence, the verb hasn’t
neither in answer D is incorrect because
(hasn’t) the negative sentence and isn’t followed negative sentence again
(neither), so we must change neither (negative sentence) to either (positive
sentence). Thus D is the correct answer.
