The correct answer is "Even though".

Key Points

• "Even though" correctly conveys a sense of contrast or concession.
• It implies that, despite the speaker having a favorite brother, they will still tell their mother about something.
• "Even though" introduces a contrast between the two clauses.

Therefore, the correct answer is "option 2".

The correct answer is "plays".

Key Points

• The most appropriate word to fill in the blank is "plays".
• It uses the singular verb "plays," which agrees with the singular subject and is appropriate for expressing a habitual action.

​Therefore, the correct answer is "option 4".

The Correct Answer is Option 3) 'Would'.

 Key Points

• The sentence is in the Second Conditional, which represents hypothetical or unreal conditions.
• In a Second Conditional question, 'Would' is typically used to start the sentence.
• Thus, option 3 "Would" is the correct choice as it aligns with the requirements of a Second Conditional question format.
• Other choices - "Will", "Are", "Can" - are not suitable to begin a hypothetical question.

Therefore, the correct answer is - 'Would'

Additional Information

• "Will" (Option 1) is used in First Conditional sentences that denote real possibilities or decisions in the future, not for unreal or hypothetical conditions.
• "Are" (Option 2) is a state verb used in present simple questions, not in unreal conditions.
• "Can" (Option 4) is an auxiliary verb used for capability or ability, not for hypothetical situations.

The Correct Answer is Option 1) 'come'.

 Key Points

• This sentence is meant to express a condition in the future and the consequent action, for which the first conditional (simple present in the if clause, 'will' + base verb in the main clause) is usually used.
• Option 1, 'come', matches the sentence correctly as it is in the simple present form.
• The phrase 'in case' usually takes the simple present tense after it when speaking about future possibilities, very much like conditional sentences.
• Other options - "am coming", "will come", "would come" - do not meet these requirements.

Therefore, the correct answer is - 'come'

Additional Information

• Using 'am coming' (Option 2) in this context is incorrect because it implies certainty while "in case" expresses a condition or possibility.
• 'Will come' (Option 3) represents a certain future which is incorrect in this condition-based sentence.
• 'Would come' (Option 4) is used in hypothetical or unreal conditions, thus, it's wrong in this case because the sentence expresses a real condition.

Here the correct answer is 'To openly display one's emotions'.

Key Points

• The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "Wear your heart on your sleeve" is: To openly display one's emotions.
• The idiom "Wear your heart on your sleeve" means to openly or transparently display one's emotions or feelings, without trying to hide or conceal them. It suggests being emotionally vulnerable and not being afraid to show one's true emotions to others.
• For example:
• Sarah wears her heart on her sleeve and is not afraid to express her love and affection for others.
• John is known for wearing his heart on his sleeve, always displaying his excitement, disappointment, or sadness openly.
• This meaning is correct because the idiom derives from the literal act of wearing a heart-shaped badge or symbol on one's sleeve, which historically symbolized openly expressing one's emotions. It has come to represent a person's tendency to openly and honestly display their emotions without reservation.
• Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

The correct answer is 2) Everyone without distinction.

Key Points

• The idiom "all and sundry" is used to refer to everyone or every single person without any exception or distinction. It implies inclusivity, encompassing all individuals without leaving anyone out.
• For example:
• The announcement was made to all and sundry, ensuring that no one was left uninformed.
• The company's new policy applies to all and sundry, regardless of their position or seniority.
• In both examples, "all and sundry" is used to emphasize that the information or policy is meant for everyone, without any exceptions or exclusions.
• Therefore, the correct answer is 2) Everyone without distinction, as it best captures the meaning of the idiom/phrase.
