I want to provide you some tests here and I want, if it's possible, a lot of good answers. You may ask me, what's the reason for this topic? Well, there are plenty of people here, on MyLot, who are not English natives, including me and who wish to improve their language, to speak a better English. What do you think?

a.) of
b.) with
c.) on
d.) in
2. As he was suspected....drug traffic, he was placed....investigation.
a.) on, on
b.) of, into
c.) with, under
d.) of, under
3. Judges....never take bribe from the defendants.
a.) should
b.) must
c.) can
d.) will
4. Independence Day is the national holiday of the United States of America.On this day, the U.S. commemorates its victory over the British and the signing of....on the 4th of July 1776
a.) The Universal Declaration of the Human Rights
b.) The Declaration of Independence
c.) The American Constitution
d.) The Treaty of Vienna
e.) The Convention on the Rights of the Childs
5. Choose the correct word to collocate with the rest:
Her face is not very attractive, but she has a marvellous......
a.) form
b.) figure
c.) shape

When I receive at least ten correct answers, I'll take you to the next 5 sentences.

1) b--with
2) d--of, under
3) Any of them could fit, the best fit is a--should
4) b--The Declaration of Independence (This has nothing to do with the English language and everything to do with American History.)
5) b--figure (You may want to check the wording in the question, though. What's "collocate"?)
Then again, do I even count? Maybe not, since I'm American and have been speaking American English all my life...
