Here are the answers to your English language questions: 1) A. but also The correlative conjunction is "not only... but also". 2) B. spinning / yarn The correct verb for processing wool is "spinning", and wool is spun into "yarn". 3) C. hands The idiom is "to shake hands", which is always plural. 4) D. have been "A number of" takes a plural verb, so "stolen cars" requires "have been recovered" (present perfect passive). 5) A. worth Producers consider the worth (value) of their product. 6) B. harassment The correct spelling is harassment. 7) B. no When a negative statement ("He isn't coming home") is followed by a negative tag question ("is he?") and the answer confirms the negative, we use "No". 8) A. morale Morale refers to the confidence and enthusiasm of a group, which a minister would aim to boost. 9) A. hasn't been "For months" indicates a duration up to the present, requiring the present perfect tense. "He" takes "has". 10) A. hasn't been This is a duplicate of question 9. "For months" indicates a duration up to the present, requiring the present perfect tense. "He" takes "has". 11) D. commission The correct spelling is commission, meaning a duty or task given to someone. 12) C. have you For a negative statement with "may not have", the common positive tag question is "have you?". 13) A. whom When a preposition ("to") precedes a relative pronoun referring to a person, whom is used. 14) C. tricky Tricky is the most appropriate adjective to describe someone who is cunning or difficult to deal with. 15) D. paid off The phrasal verb "paid off" means to be successful or yield good results, especially after effort. 16) C. owing to Owing to means "because of" and is commonly used at the beginning of a sentence to introduce the reason for the main clause. 17) D. demonstrate To demonstrate means to show or prove something clearly, which is similar in meaning to "exemplify" (illustrate by example). 18) B. their Their is the possessive adjective needed before the noun "responsibility". 19) A. anybody To avoid a double negative (which would imply he is afraid), we use "not afraid of anybody". 20) D. pastime / through Pastime (one word) means a hobby or activity for enjoyment. "Get through with" means to complete or finish something.
