For numbers 26-40 choose the best answer that completes each sentence.

Here are the solutions to the grammar questions:

• 26. The phrase "By the time it rains" indicates an action that will be completed by a future point. This requires the future perfect tense, which is "will have + past participle". The past participle of "wither" is "withered". Option A, "will have wither," appears to have a typo and should be "will have withered." Assuming this typo, it is the most appropriate choice.

  • A) will have wither (assuming typo for "will have withered")

• 27. The sentence "My neighbours aren't at home" implies they left and are still out. The present perfect tense "have gone" is used
