Here are the answers to the questions: 14. The subject of the sentence is "Akosua," which is singular. The phrase "with her children" is a prepositional phrase and does not affect the number of the subject. Therefore, the verb must be singular. The completed sentence is: "Akosua, with her children is going home." The answer is B. 15. The verb "saw" is a verb of perception. After verbs of perception, we can use either the bare infinitive (e.g., "enter") or the present participle (e.g., "entering") to describe the action being observed. "I saw Samuel, Sam entering* the house" means I saw him in the process of entering. "I saw Samuel, Sam enter* the house" means I saw the complete action of him entering. Both A and B are grammatically correct. However, option D, "was entering," is grammatically incorrect in this structure. It would require a relative pronoun or conjunction, such as "I saw Samuel, Sam who was entering the house" or "I saw Samuel, Sam as he was entering the house." Between A and B, "entering" (A) is a very common and natural way to describe an action observed in progress. The answer is A. 17. The phrasal verb "look over" means to examine, review, or check something carefully. A. "watch" means to observe. B. "look on" means to observe without participating. C. "oversee" means to supervise or manage. D. "read through" means to read something from beginning to end, often for checking or reviewing. This is the closest meaning to "look over" in the context of reviewing work. The answer is D.
