TOEIC Practice Questions — All Questions

The quarterly report ___ to every department head before the board meeting on Friday. Which choice is correct?

• a.distribute
• b.will be distributed✓
• c.distributing
• d.has distribute

The report is the thing being sent, so a passive form is needed, and 'before Friday' points to a future action: 'will be distributed'. 'Has distribute' is not a valid verb form.

If the shipment ___ on time, we would have met the client's deadline. Which choice is correct?

• a.arrives
• b.arrived
• c.had arrived✓
• d.will arrive

The result clause uses 'would have met', which signals a third conditional about the past. The 'if' clause therefore takes the past perfect: 'had arrived'.

All employees are expected ___ the updated safety guidelines by the end of the month. Which choice is correct?

• a.to review✓
• b.reviewing
• c.review
• d.reviewed

'Be expected' is followed by a to-infinitive: 'are expected to review'. The other forms do not fit this fixed pattern.

Our new supplier offers ___ prices than the vendor we used last year. Which choice is correct?

• a.competitive
• b.most competitive
• c.as competitive
• d.more competitive✓

The word 'than' signals a comparison between two suppliers, which requires the comparative form 'more competitive'. The superlative 'most competitive' would compare three or more.

The manager asked that each team member ___ a summary of their weekly progress. Which choice is correct?

• a.submits
• b.submit✓
• c.submitted
• d.submitting

After 'asked that', English uses the subjunctive base form: 'submit'. The verb stays uninflected even though the subject is singular.
