Before he could nod off, however he heard something heavy being dragged inside the hut. (26) This was followed on the voice of a woman. (Final Paper 2022-23)
Correct (22): He was wet and cold and his cave was far away.
Explanation: “And” is the correct conjunction to connect “wet” and “cold.” “But” would suggest a contrast, which is not the intended meaning here.
Correct (23): While hurrying to his shelter he saw an old hut.
Explanation: “While hurried” is incorrect because “hurried” is past tense. After “while,” we need the present participle (“hurrying”) to show an action happening at the same time.
Correct (24): With a sigh of relief, the tiger crawled under the thatched roof and lay down by the door.
Explanation: “In the thatched roof” is incorrect; “under the thatched roof” correctly describes going beneath the shelter.
Correct (25): Except for the sound of the rain, all was quiet.
Explanation: The correct word order is “all was quiet,” not “was quiet all.” This follows standard English syntax.
Correct (26): This was followed by the voice of a woman.
Explanation: The correct preposition here is “by,” which indicates what came after (“followed by the voice”).
