Real items, with the answer marked and the reason written out — the same format as all 22.
We ___ in this town since 2015, and we still love it here. Which choice is correct?
Why: 'Since 2015' marks an action that started in the past and continues now, so the present perfect 'have lived' is required. The past simple 'lived' would suggest the action is finished.
The instructions were so ___ that nobody in the room could follow them. Which word fits best?
Why: If nobody could follow the instructions, they must have been 'confusing'. The other options mean clear or exact, which contradicts the result described in the sentence.
