Yesterday, at 9:32 AM, Horatio [not done] entered 1 a big building. The man at the desk [not done] asked 2 him if he [not done] could help 3 him. Horatio [not done] said 4: 'I want [not done] to speak 5 to a doctor'. The man [not done] told 6 him: 'This is a bank, not a hospital.' 'But I [not done] am bleeding 7 from my ears', said Horatio. The banker [not done] replied 8, 'I am sorry sir, I can't help you with that'. Horatio [not done] said 9 'In that case, [not done] Give 10 me all of your money'. 'Is this a robbery?' the banker [not done] inquired 11. 'Maybe,' said Horatio.

1 entered: This is the best choice here. This verb needs to be put in the simple past tense (or preterit). We know this because the term 'yesterday' indicates that this action took place in the past.
2 asked: This verb needs to be put in the simple past tense (or preterit). We know this because the term 'yesterday' in the previous sentence establishes the past tense time frame of this action.
3 could help: 'Could help' is the best choice here. This verb requires the modal verb 'could' to express the conditional sense which the sentence requires. The man is asking IF he can help or is capable of helping Horatio -- it is not certain if he will be able to. Therefore we use 'could' to express the sense of possibility within the question. 'Could' is also the past tense form of can. We can assume that the man asked Horatio 'Can I help you?' at the time this conversation took place.
4 said: We must put this verb in the past simple tense (preterit) to correctly complete this construction. The time period (yesterday) was established earlier in this paragraph. The verb 'to say' is irregular say/said/said.
5 to speak: The verb 'to want' can only be followed by another verb in the infinitive form. Example: The cat wanted to go outside. We must use the full infinitive form of the verb 'to speak' to correctly complete this construction.
6 told: 'Told' is the correct choice here. It is the past tense form of the verb 'to tell' in the 3rd person. This entire dialogue takes place in the past tense, which was established in the first sentence of the exercise.
7 am bleeding: The verb 'to bleed' is frequently used in the present progressive (or present continuous) tense to describe the 'act of bleeding'. Here Horatio is expressing that he is 'bleeding at the current moment'. The present progressive tense is formed by the auxiliary 'to be' + the 'ING' form of the verb (to bleed).
8 replied: The verb 'to reply' should be put into the simple past tense. The past tense was established in the first sentence of this exercise. Note that many verbs which end in 'y' change to 'ied' in the past tense (to cry, to marry).
9 said: This is the correct choice. The verb 'to say' should be put into the simple past tense. The past tense was established in the first sentence of this exercise. Note that 'to say' is an irregular verb: say / said / have said.
10 Give: Horatio is giving a command or a direct order to the banker here. The imperative form is constructed by using the infinitive form of the verb (to give) without the infinitive marker 'to'.
11 inquired: This is the correct choice. The verb 'to inquire' should be put into the simple past tense. The past tense was established in the first sentence of this exercise.

Each of the following verbs is used in Icarus' email. Conjugate each one appropriately.

1 have replied: This construction uses the present perfect form of the verb "to reply" following the auxiliary "should", which forms the conditional perfect tense. When using any auxiliary with a perfect tense (must, should, will, could, would), we follow with "have" + the past participle. "he should have replied..." is a conditional statement which indicates that Icarus regrets not writing Ruby earlier. Note that "reply", like many verbs ending in "y" changes to "ie" in many tenses.
2 have worn: This construction uses the present perfect form of the verb "to wear" following the auxiliary "could", which forms the conditional perfect tense. When using any auxiliary with a perfect tense (must, should, will, could, would), we follow with "have" + the past participle. "Icarus could have worn..." is a conditional statement which indicates that Icarus had the option, or was capable of wearing a different pair of pants. Note that "to wear" is an irregular verb: wear/wore/worn.
3 wore: We use the simple past tense here to express that "yesterday" Icarus decided to wear his blue jeans (rather than the black pants he could have worn). "To wear" is an irregular verb: wear/wore/worn.
4 caught: This construction uses the present perfect form of the verb "to catch" following the auxiliary "might", which forms the conditional perfect tense. When using any auxiliary with a perfect tense (must, should, will, could, would, might, may), we follow with "have" + the past participle. "Icarus might have caught a cold..." is a conditional statement which indicates that Icarus could possibly be sick. Note that "to catch" is an irregular verb: catch/caught/caught.

Donna says she receives a lot of "SPAM" in her emails.
What would the average person normally do with this type of "SPAM"?
Again, there may be more than one correct answer!

This is not the most likely choice. It would be unusual for Donna to "forward" (or transfer) these unwanted emails to her friends.
This is not the most likely choice. SPAM emails are usually sent out in mass by computer programs therefore it is pointless trying to respond.
This is not the most likely choice. It is impossible to eat electronic SPAM! Although the origin of the word comes from the company Hormel SPiced Ham which you can still eat! The term was used to describe unwanted mail sent in mass after the famous Monty Python sketch where the word SPAM is repeated endlessly.
This is not the most likely choice. It is possible to prioritize messages in an inbox by labelling them with different colours (red for urgent, green for personal etc). It would be unlikely for Donna to label unwanted SPAM email as "important".
This is correct. SPAM is unsolicited email, often of a commercial nature, sent indiscriminately to multiple mailing lists, individuals, or newsgroups. It is usually of no interest to the receiver therefore is normally "deleted" or "put in the trash".
