Question:
#11: Answer C also correct, simple past.
#13: Syntax error. To correct, delete "us."
#14. #15: Answer C also, simple past,
#20: Answer A also, present tense.
#22: Answer D is of course incorrect. Answer A is correct.
The sentence subject is "none," which is of course singular, and
therefore requires the singular verb "is." ("Has been repaired"
would also be a good singular verb choice.)
The prepositional phrase "of the machines" plays NO ROLE in
in determining verb tense; verb tense is determined soley by
by the sentence subject.
#23: Answer C also, simple past.
#24: Answer A also, present tense.

Question number 18: The jury.......... Unanimous in their decision. You told that (was) is the accurate answer becouse the subject of this sentence The jury which is singular. So,it will take a singular verb. But, It's seemed to me that the correct answer should be are. because, here subject The jury imply plural . You may understand if you look carefully at the object of this sentence. The object their which represent about the subject The jury. And, we all know that object can be plural in a sentence when the subject of this sentence indicates plural. So, I think that the correct answer of the question number 18 should be are. What do you think about it? However, your videos not only aid me but also others who follow your every video like me. So, I will request you, never stop making video we all will be with you and your videos. Take love ❤.

Hello, I noticed your comment regarding question 18 as I was
posting my own remarks. As a native speaker, I can confirm that the test answer is in fact correct. They correctly state that "jury" in this context is to be regarded as a "collective noun," defined as a group of people (or other nouns) collectively acting as a unified group or collective unit. The test includes other examples too, for example "The team IS celebrating its victory ." Another example could be "The herd of cattle WAS grazing in the field." The use of the collective noun in #18 is especially appropriate, given the use of the term "unanimous," emphasizing that the jury was acting as a single, unified body. I hope this has helped.

@mikekurtz5868 I appreciate on your ability. If you don’t mind, will you mind answering my one question❓
Supposed , I agree with you that the subject The jury is singular here. According to a singular subject the object should be taken singular. But, here the object is utilized their which is not singular. So, kindly tell me what the hidden trick is there? Is there any specific trick?

​@@BijoyThakur-h5mHello again, and thank for your question. I am unsure of what you mean by "utilized." I have never encountered that term before in connection with a "plural subject/singular subject" rule. Could you perhaps restate your question in some other way? I am confident in my understanding of the concept of a collective noun, and would like to be able to clarify the answer for you, if we could just solve this terminology question. Thank you.

Hay,just tell me one thing . If a subject in a sentence has the jury (singular), so,what will be the object of it subject.
Don’t mind. You should reread about utilizing the rules of Jury.

[@mikekurtz5868]

Hello again. Not completely sure I understand your question, but a sentence will always contain a subject, and usually an object. The object of the sentence is defined as "the person or thing that receives the action of the verb."
Example: "She ate the apple." Here, "she" singular is the subject, "ate" is the verb, and "apple" is the object. But the object of a sentence has no role in determining the verb tense. Verb tense is determined solely by the subject, in this case "jury." If I understand your reference to
"utilizing the rules of jury," jury rules or rule utilization in the test sentence would play no role in determining verb tense -- again, only the singular subject would.
If this has not adequately answered your question, and you wish to continue the chat, please feel free to do so. Thank you.
