2. I wish that the weather were not so warm. (Use ‘were’ because the weather is very warm. It cannot be less warm.) I wish I were a millionaire. But it is very unlikely that I can become a millionaire.

3. Peacocks typically have long spanning wings that enable them to spring into full flight instantly when disturbed from their slumbering. (The other words cannot fit in the blank.)

4. To be acclaimed a masterpiece, a celebrated work must stand the test of time long beyond the period in which it was created. (The other words cannot fit in the blank.)

8. Mary and John used to go to the parties at the Student Union every Friday. (‘used to go’ refers to the fact that Mary and John formerly went to the parties every Friday, but they no longer do so now.)

10. Wilt Chamberlain, the first Black American, to gain entry into the Basketball Hall of Fame, began his career with the Philadelphia Warriors in 1959.

(a) cannot fit in the blank because of the word ‘who’.

(c) … . is a country, whereas Wilt Chamberlain is a person.
