The past participle form of the verb "tread" can be written in two different ways:

- Trod: This is a commonly used past participle form for "tread." For example, "He had trod the path many times before."

- Trodden: This is another correct past participle form for "tread," often used in more formal contexts. For example, "The grass was trodden by the many visitors to the park."

Answer: A. under Explanation: The correct preposition to use in this sentence is "under." This is because the preposition "under" is used to describe something that is beneath or below something else. In this case, the cat is sleeping beneath the bed. Here's a breakdown of the other prepositions and why they are not appropriate in this context: - B. above: This preposition indicates that something is higher or at a higher level than something else. In this case, it does not make sense for the cat to sleep above the bed. - C. between: This preposition is used when something is in the middle of two other things. It does not fit the context of the cat sleeping in relation to the bed. - D. over: Similar to "above," this preposition implies that something is on top of or covering something else. It does not accurately describe the cat's position in relation to the bed. So, the correct sentence is: "The cat always sleeps under my bed."

Answer: B. Could Explanation: - The correct modal verb for this sentence is "could" because it is used to make polite requests. - "Must" is used to express a strong obligation or necessity, which is not suitable for this context. - "Would" can be used to make polite requests as well, but it is typically used in hypothetical situations or when asking about preferences. - "Have to" is used to express a strong obligation, similar to "must", which is also not appropriate for this context.

A: between
- This is the correct choice because it indicates that Mary is sitting in the middle of John and Jill, with one person on each side.
