Penjelasan
These are multiple-choice grammar questions designed to asses comprehension and application of English syntax rules and vocabulary usage. 1. This question examines verb tense and correct form to complete the sentence cohesively. Wild Bill Hickok is the subject and functioned as a spy during the civil war, hence the context implies past tense so we look for the past form of the verb 'spy'2. To fill in the blank, identification of a structure that correctly articulates a reason or cause-effect relation in line with the context--difficulty of the land's terrain influencing its name, needs to be pursued.3. In conducting comparison between the quantity of craters on different moons of Uranus, the right form of 'another' to be applied should be noted, so 'other' given 'moons' is should be employed here(collective comparison) than the singular usage of 'another'.4. The sentence referred to a famous author incorrectly referred to Fitzgerald as ''better know" instead of "better known". 5. Incoherence in verb concord, 'Took' does not agree with 'must be' in the passive voice. The action being referred to is in a future condition/context hence "taken", which is the past particle form of 'take' ought to be used.
