Correct Answer
(C) whose

Solution: The word 'whose' is the possessive form of the pronoun 'who'. It is used in questions to ask who owns something, has something, etc. 'Who' becomes 'whose' just like he and she becomes his and her.
[#497] I . . . . . . . . white washing my house since morning, so I am feeling tired.
Correct Answer
(A) have been
Explanation
Solution: "Has been" and "have been" are both in the present perfect tense. "Has been" is used in the third-person singular and "have been" is used for first- and second- person singular and all plural uses.
[#498] When she parted . . . . . . . . her parents, her eyes were full of tears.
Correct Answer
(A) from
Explanation
Solution: The verb "part" means to separate or leave. We use "part from" to indicate separating from a person or thing. The other options don't fit the context: "Part off" usually refers to separating a piece of something. "Part away" is not a standard or grammatically correct usage. "Part with" means to give something away, often reluctantly. Therefore, "When she parted from her parents" is the only grammatically correct and meaningful option.
[#499] Sugarcane . . . . . . . . usually two three meter long?
Correct Answer
(A) are
Explanation
Solution: Sugarcane refers to the plant in general, not individual stalks. Think of it like this: "Rice is grown in many countries." We're talking about rice as a crop, not individual grains. Therefore, we need a singular verb . * "are" and "were" are plural verbs. They'd be used if we were talking about multiple sugarcanes (which isn't the common way we describe sugarcane). * "was" is singular, but it's in the past tense . The sentence is generally describing sugarcane, so we use the present tense. "is" is a singular, present tense verb. So, the complete sentence is: "Sugarcane is usually two three meter long."
[#500] He . . . . . . . . robbed as he was walking out of the bank.
Correct Answer
(C) got
Explanation
Solution: In informal English, we can use get in passive voice sentences instead of be. The sentence is in past tense therefore 'got' is the right word to use.
