(A) was/lived
(B) will/will live
(C) had been/has lived
(D) is/had been living

Solution:

 In the given sentence "No zoologist is able to keep a gorilla under close observation in the dark jungles in which he had been living," the most appropriate words to fill in the blanks are "is" and "had been living." "No zoologist is able to keep a gorilla under close observation" - The verb "is" is in the present tense, and it indicates a general truth or fact about the current situation. "in the dark jungles in which he had been living" - The phrase "had been living" is in the past perfect continuous tense and indicates a past action that was ongoing before another past action. In this context, it refers to the gorilla living in the dark jungles before the observation took place. The other options do not use the correct verb forms for the given sentence. Option A, "was/lived," uses the simple past tense for both verbs, which does not convey the correct sequence of events. Option B, "will/will live," uses the future tense for both verbs, which is not suitable for describing past events. Option C, "had been/has lived," uses the past perfect continuous tense and the present perfect tense, but they do not match the context of the sentence. Option E, "has been/lives," uses the present perfect continuous tense and the simple present tense, which also do not fit the context. Therefore, the correct answer is "D. is/had been living.

Use the right form of the verb:

'Where ___ (Martin/come) from?' 'He's Scottish.'

(A) do Martin come
(B) do Martin comes
(C) does Martin comes
(D) does Martin come

Solution:

 In the sentence, "'Where does Martin come from?' 'He's Scottish,'" the present simple tense is used to ask about Martin's place of origin. The correct form for the sentence is "Where does Martin come from?" The other options are not suitable because they do not use the correct verb form or tense: Option A: do Martin come This option combines the present simple tense "do" with the base form "come," which is not grammatically correct. Option B: do Martin comes This option combines the present simple tense "do" with the present simple third-person singular form "comes," which is not appropriate for the question. Option C: does Martin comes This option uses the present simple tense "does" with the present simple third-person singular form "comes," which is also not appropriate for the question. Therefore, the correct answer is Option D: does Martin come.
