Explanation: Use the past perfect tense because the past action of giving up occurred before
the other past action of coming back.
17. A 

Explanation: All the blanks need a preposition of time. In is the answer to the first blank
because its object is a month; at is the answer to the second blank because its object is an
exact and specific time of the day; and on is the answer to the third blank because its object
is the specific date or day.
18. C 

Explanation: Wrong use of idiomatic preposition. Since the speaker is angry with a person,
the preposition with must be used instead of at. The latter is used only if the object of anger
is a thing, and not a person.
19. A 

Explanation: Use the past perfect tense had studied because in this statement, the studying
is a precursor to passing the UPCAT. Therefore, two actions (as the sentence indicates that
the chance for both have already passed) would have occurred in succession (had they
occurred). Use the past perfect for the earlier action.
20. B

Explanation: The proper pronoun to use is its, which is singular, because crowd is a
collective noun and is singular in this case. Its is also in the third person, which is the
person of the noun crowd, which 'its' replaces.
