[#86] She is interested . . . . . . . . drawing and painting?
Correct Answer
(C) in
Explanation
Solution: 'Interested in' is used to indicate the interest (or eagerness) of someone in the subject they want to know more about or the action they wish to perform. The preposition of location or time 'in' functions to indicate a state of being that someone is metaphorically 'inside of.' Less often, we can use the expression 'interested to' followed by a verb of perception. 'Interested on' is never correct.
[#87] Neither you nor your sister should . . . . . . . . to them.
Correct Answer
(A) talk
Explanation
Solution: The appropriate verb form to be applied in the given sentence is talk. As the sentence is in simple future tense the participle used is a simple form. The options C and D cannot be applied as the tense of the verb is different from that of the sentence given. Talked is in past tense and Talking is in continuous tense. Option B is inappropriate as there are two subjects in the sentence and so the verb is plural, talk.

In this sentence, such is used to emphasize the unique qualities of the cannon, and that introduces the result of these qualities, which is its widespread use in ancient times. that, that is incorrect because it does not correctly establish the cause-and-effect relationship. that, since is incorrect because since indicates time or reason, not the degree of qualities. such, so is incorrect because so is typically followed by an adjective or adverb, not a clause. Therefore, the correct answer is such, that .
