Q2. ______ the news on at five or six?

  • Are
  • Is
  • Was
  • Were

  • are
  • have been
Correct Option: B  [ was ]

Q4. The man with all the birds ______ on my street.

  • live
  • lives
  • are living
  • have lived
Correct Option: B  [ lives ]

Q5. Sohan as well as his brother ______ come.

Correct Option: A  [ want ]

Explanation: Intervening phrases like 'as well as the captain' do not affect the number of the verb. Subject is 'players' (plural), so 'want'.
