The next evening, Grandpa Joe went on with his story.
'You see, Charlie,' he said, 'not so very long ago there used to be thousands of people working in Mr Willy Wonka's factory.
Then one day, all of a sudden, Mr Wonka had to ask every single one of them to leave, to go home, never to come backBut why?'
asked Charlie.
'Because of spies.'
'Spies?'
'Yes.
All the other chocolate makers, you see, had begun to grow jealous of the wonderful sweets that Mr Wonka was making, and they started sending in spies to steal his secret recipes.
The spies took jobs in the Wonka factory, pretending that they were ordinary workers, and while they were there, each one of them found out exactly how a certain special thing was made.'
'And did they go back to their own factories and tell?You can hear the machines!
They're all whirring again!
And you can smell the smell of melting chocolate in the air!"'
Grandpa Joe leaned forward and laid a long bony finger on Charlie's knee, and he said softly, 'But most mysterious of all, Charlie, were the shadows in the windows of the factory.
The people standing on the street outside could see small dark shadows moving about behind the frosted glass windows.'
'Shadows of whom?'
said Charlie quickly.
'That's exactly what everybody else wanted to know.
1. The correct answer is a) at. The phrase "opens at" is the correct preposition to use when stating the time at which something opens.
2. The correct answer is c) the, a. We use the definite article "the" before "pupil" because we are referring to a specific person, her elder brother. We use the indefinite article "a" before "tenth form" because it is not a specific form, but any form in general.
3. The correct answer is b) leaves. "Leaves" is the plural form of the noun, and in this sentence, we need to use the plural form to match the word "some."
4. The correct answer is a) does. When asking a question in the present tense with a third-person singular subject (he, she, it), we need to use the auxiliary verb "does" before the base form of the main verb.
5. The correct answer is c) has. "Has" is the correct form of the verb to use with the third-person singular subject "my friend."
6. The correct answer is a) eat. The base form "eat" is used after the phrase "does a vegetarian" to indicate what a vegetarian typically eats.
7. The correct answer is b) doesn't. We use the auxiliary verb "doesn't" to show a negative statement in the present tense with a third-person singular subject.
8. The correct answer is a) Do. When asking a question in the present tense with the pronoun "you," we need to use the auxiliary verb "do" before the base form of the main verb.
9. The correct answer is c) is. Since we are talking about a singular subject (a boy), we need to use the singular form of the verb "is."
10. The correct answer is b) Do. When asking a question in the present tense with the pronoun "they," we need to use the auxiliary verb "do" before the base form of the main verb.
2) These are knives and these are forks.
Explanation: In this sentence, we are talking about more than one item. When we are referring to plural objects, we use the word "are". So, "are" should be added before both "knives" and "forks".
3) She is a woman and they are girls.
Explanation: In this sentence, we are talking about different people. "She" is singular, so we use the verb "is" with it. However, "they" is used for plural subjects, so we use the verb "are" with "girls".
4) They are pillows and that is a bed.
Explanation: In this sentence, we are talking about different objects. "They" is used to refer to more than one pillow, so we use the verb "are" with it. On the other hand, "that" is used to refer to a single bed, so we use the verb "is" with it.
5) This is a toaster and those are caps.
Explanation: In this sentence, we are talking about different objects. "This" is used to refer to a single toaster, so we use the verb "is" with it. However, "those" is used to refer to more than one cap, so we use the verb "are" with it.

'Shadows of whom?'
said Charlie quickly.
'That's exactly what everybody else wanted to know.
"The place is full of workers!"
the people shouted.
"But nobody's gone in!
The gates are locked!
It's crazy!
Nobody ever comes out, either!" '
