Answer

Whew! So many questions. I can't seem to find the words for the correct rules on some numbers. Others just depend on the context of the sentence, on what the speaker mean to say. It's hard to explain but I answered some. Maybe, i'll just come back to edit this later.

Answer

1.  A
The second sentence is a reply to the first one so
“will this one do” is trying to ask if his pen is suitable to the asker’s criteria, which is a pen that writes well
On the other hand,
“will this one work” is trying to ask if the object  is usable or effective

3 . B  
 ‘research’ is a singular noun, thus it requires a singular verb.

4 .B 
since the speaker refers to an object, a ‘demonstrative’ (this,that,this,those) should be used
‘it’ is a pronoun that is used in place of a noun

5 .D 
‘find out’ means to discover/ learn or get new information
 ‘pick out means’ to choose or to select from a group of choices


7 .C 
*Debbie own the blouse, therefore, she CAN afford it. “Not” is a negative verb.
*Debbie is a feminine name, so use “her” instead of “his”
*the noun ‘savings’, although plural in form , is always considered singular noun


13 
I can have either A,B,or C as they mean the same to me.
‘None’ is a contraction of ‘No one’

Answer

ok - one more ---- #5 .....It is easy to PICK OUT...... this is the best choice among the four.... Obviously you do not want to PICK UP your car.  (It is too heavy).  To FIND OUT your car is confusing and doesn't make sense...  you are trying to FIND your car not FIND OUT your car.  To PICK OUT can be sued to select or locate and that is what is implied in this sentence.)

Answer

#2 - A is the better answer of the two though B is very close
#3 - the correct answer is becasue of the "number" - the verb that goes along with the noun.... in other words....
one person rides on a bus.... two people RIDE on a bus..... the number of the verb must match with the number of the noun.............
