The tag question should be the opposite form of the sentence, and it should match the tense and subject of the main sentence. In this case, the main sentence is in the present perfect tense, and the subject is "Jane has stopped smoking". Therefore, the correct tag question should be in the present perfect tense, with the subject "she" and the opposite form of the verb "stopped". The opposite form of "stopped" is "hasn't stopped".

Question 16 Report
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences.
Their shop stocks _____ overwhelming variety of goods.
Answer Details
The correct option for the sentence "Their shop stocks _____ overwhelming variety of goods" is: an. The sentence describes the variety of goods available at a shop, which is described as "overwhelming." The word "overwhelming" means that there are so many goods available that it's difficult to choose or decide. Therefore, we need an article that describes the noun "variety" in a singular form, and the appropriate article in this context is "an". The options "any," "every," and "each" are not appropriate in this context because they are not used to describe a singular noun, but rather they are used to describe a general or indefinite reference to a group of nouns. Therefore, they do not accurately convey the meaning intended by the sentence.

Therefore, "reduction" is the appropriate word to use in the sentence. The other options such as "removal," "termination," and "elimination" suggest a complete eradication of poverty, which may not be feasible with just one funding.

Answer Details
If the director sees Tim as the "joker in the pack," it means that the director sees Tim as unpredictable and possibly humorous. The phrase "joker in the pack" refers to a person who is unexpected or unconventional, and may behave in ways that surprise others. This phrase is often used to describe someone who doesn't fit in with the norm or follows their own rules, and is not necessarily a negative term. Therefore, it is likely that the director sees Tim as someone who adds an element of unpredictability and humor to the group.
Question 21 Report

Answer Details
In the given passage, the missing word is related to a person getting a disease and then seeking medical attention. The word that best fits in the gap is "contracts" (option B). This is because the word "contracts" means to catch or acquire a disease, infection, or virus. Therefore, the sentence would read as "When an individual contracts a disease, he has to see a doctor for treatment." This means that when someone gets sick, they need to seek medical attention from a doctor to get the necessary treatment. The other options - "acquires," "contacts," and "develops" - do not fit the context of the sentence as well as "contracts" does.

It is often used to describe the loss of life in a natural disaster, such as a flood, hurricane, or earthquake. The word "claimed" also implies that the loss of life was sudden and unexpected. Therefore, it is likely that the floods have caused a significant number of deaths, and the use of the word "claimed" emphasizes the severity of the situation.

Answer Details
The word that best completes the sentence is "recoil". The sentence is describing a situation where a bully has previously been feared by the smaller boys, but this time they did not recoil or draw back in fear when he raised a fist.
