Exercise 26

Underline the correct words to complete the passage.

Anita (peering, is peering, was peering, peered) through the window at the first signs of life
outside as dawn was breaking when she (heard, was heard, was hearing, is hearing) her mother’s
resonant voice calling her. “(I was coming, I’m coming, I have come, I had come), Mum,” she answered.

Before joining the family for breakfast, she stopped to think of her life as the youngest of three
children in the Lee household. She (did long tolerate, has long tolerate, had long tolerated, will long
tolerate) the unmerciful teasing of her two older brothers. However, now that she was almost 18, their
attitude (was change, is changed, has changed, had changed) somewhat. They (had become, have
become, are becoming, were become) fiercely protective of her ever since she (starts getting, started
getting, start getting, had start getting) admiring glances from the opposite sex. Anita (think, was
thinking, is thinking, thought) it was hilarious at first. However, their hovering over her every time they
went out together began (annoy, to annoy, annoys, annoys) her.

Now, as Anita entered the dining room, her eyes (sparkling, was sparkling, sparkled, have
sparkled) with mischief as her gaze fell on her two brothers. Neither of the brothers (aware, was aware,
were aware, had been aware) of Anita’s intentions when she announced that she (was going to have, is
going to have, had been going to have, will going to have) a small get-together before she (was leaving,
has left, will leave, left) for the U.K. to further her studies. Both Tom and Jim (were agreeing, agreed,
agree, will agree) to help organise everything from the food to the music and games. They wanted to
know who was inviting but Anita kept the guest list (hidden, was hidden, his, was hiding) from them.

“After all,” she said, “This (was, were, has been, will be) my farewell to my friends.”

Unknown to her brothers, she had contacted some of her girl friends and secretly coached them
about what to do and say. When the party began, the boys (were surprised, was surprised, were
surprising, was surprising) to find there were no male guests. What they found horrifying was the stifling
attention all their sister’s guests showered on them. While the boys struggled to break through the
circle of girls surrounding them, Anita stood in a corner (trying, to try, tried, tries) hard to control her
laughter. By the time she (were rescued, rescued, was rescuing, will rescue) them from her friends, the
boys realised that they (have been, been, had been, were being) unfair to their sister with their over-
protectiveness. Unfortunately, they also vowed that they would stay away from girls for some time.
