1 was about: This is the best choice. To ask what something "is about" is to inquire about its content or subject. Example: -What is the opera about? -It's about a barber who lived in Seville. In the audio, Bruno says that the national anthem "is about the American flag".
1 about: This construction needs the verb "to be", either in the present or past simple tense. Note the construction here: I'm reading a book about the mafia in Naples.
1 about to: We cannot ask what a film is "about to". The construction "be about to" is used to express an imminent action, and cannot be used here.
1 was about to: We cannot ask what a film was "about to". The construction "be about to" is used to express an imminent action, and cannot be used here.
2 about: This is the best choice. The verb "to talk" is often directly followed by the preposition "about". Example: We talked about our holiday in the Bahamas for 2 hours.
2 is about: The verb "to talk" cannot be followed directly by another verb.
2 about to: We talk about something, we cannot talk about TO something.
3 is about to: This is the best choice here. "To be about" to do something expresses an imminent action in the past or present tense. Bruno says that the game "is about to start" meaning that it will begin very imminently.
3 about: We must precede the preposition "about" with the verb "to be" to correctly complete this sentence.
3 is about: We must follow this construction with "to" in order to correctly complete this sentence.
4 about: This is the best choice. "To care about something" is to have an interest in it. Example: He cared about cricket, which was strange because he was French.'
4 to be about: Using this construction is incorrect in this sentence.
4 about to: Using this construction is incorrect in this sentence.
