2. If I had one million dollars, I probably __.
Correct answer: a) would buy a yacht.
Explanation: This sentence is a conditional sentence in the second conditional form. It expresses a hypothetical situation and its probable result. In the second conditional, we use the past simple tense in the if-clause and the conditional (would + base form of the verb) in the main clause. Therefore, the correct answer is a) would buy a yacht.

Explanation: In this sentence, we need to compare the movie to other movies. The correct form to use here is the superlative form "the worst," which means the correct answer is a) worst.
4. While my son a) waited for my call, somebody knocked at the door.
Correct answer: b) was waiting
Explanation: In this sentence, we need to use the past continuous tense because the action "waiting" was in progress at a specific time in the past. The correct form is "was waiting," which means the correct answer is b) was waiting.
5. I have a doctor's appointment. Could you please look __ the children while I'm out?
Correct answer: b) after
Explanation: In this sentence, we need to find a verb that means taking care of or being responsible for someone. The correct verb is "look after," which means the correct answer is b) after.
