1) I'm bored. I don't have anything/ nothing to do.

The correct answer is "anything". This is because "anything" is used in negative sentences to mean "something". In this sentence, the speaker is expressing that they have nothing to do, so "anything" is the appropriate word to choose.

2) They asked us what we wanted / we did want.

The correct answer is "we wanted". This is because the sentence is referring to a past event, and the past tense is required. "We did want" is not grammatically correct in this context.

3) A tortoise moves more quickly / quicker than a snail.

The correct answer is "more quickly". When making comparisons, we use the form "more + adjective/adverb" for longer adjectives or adverbs, such as "quickly". "Quicker" is the comparative form of "quick", which is inappropriate in this context.

4) I mustn't/ don't have to work today. It's a holiday!

The correct answer is "don't have to". "Don't have to" means that there is no obligation or requirement to do something. "Mustn't" means that it is prohibited or not allowed, which is not the case in this sentence.

5) Swimming / Swim in the sea makes me feel great.

The correct answer is "swimming". In this sentence, "swimming" is a gerund, which acts as a noun. Gerunds are used when the action is the subject of the sentence or the object of a verb.

6) You smoke too many / too many cigarettes.

The correct answer is "too many". In this sentence, we are talking about the quantity of cigarettes, so the appropriate choice is "too many", which is used to indicate an excessive amount.

7) They might / must visit us tomorrow. It depends whether they fix the car.

The correct answer is "might". In this sentence, "might" is used to express possibility or uncertainty. "Must" would imply strong certainty or obligation, which is not appropriate in this context.

8) Have you finished your homework yet / just?

The correct answer is "yet". "Yet" is used in questions to ask if something has happened up until the present moment. "Just" means a short time ago, which does not fit in this sentence.

9) I don't do enough / too much exercise.

The correct answer is "enough". "Enough" indicates that the quantity of exercise is sufficient. "Too much" would imply that there is an excessive amount, which is not the intended meaning in this sentence.

10) She said / told him she didn't want to marry him.

The correct answer is "told". In reported speech, we use "told" to indicate that information was communicated to someone else. "Said" is used when directly quoting someone's words.

11) You must / mustn't study hard. You've got an exam.

The correct answer is "must". In this sentence, the speaker is giving advice or a strong recommendation to study hard. "Mustn't" would mean not to study hard, which contradicts the intended meaning.

12) You can / should get a new job. Your boss is horrible.

The correct answer is "should". In this sentence, the speaker is giving a suggestion or recommendation to get a new job. "Can" indicates ability or permission, which is not the intended meaning here.

13) If she didn't love him, she wouldn't/ won't marry him.

The correct answer is "wouldn't". In conditional sentences, we use "would" to express hypothetical or imaginary situations that are contrary to reality. "Won't" indicates future actions, which does not fit in this conditional sentence.

14) I'm most / more intelligent than my brother.

The correct answer is "more". When comparing two things, we use the comparative form of the adjective. "Most" is used when comparing more than two things. In this sentence, we are comparing the intelligence of two people, so "more" is the appropriate choice.
