Migration practice questions.

Choose the correct form: "If she ______ enough money last year, she would have emigrated to Canada."

• saved
• had saved
• would save
• has saved

Answer: had saved

The third conditional (past unreal) uses 'if + past perfect' in the if-clause, so 'had saved' is correct.

Choose the best word to complete the sentence: "After months of paperwork, the family finally received their ______ to live and work in the country legally."

• souvenir
• residence permit
• postcard
• university curriculum

Answer: residence permit

A 'residence permit' is the official document allowing a migrant to live and work legally; the other options are unrelated.

Choose the reported-speech form: The official said, "You must submit your visa application by Friday." → The official told them that they ______ submit their visa application by that Friday.

• must to
• had to
• will have to
• must have

Answer: had to

In reported speech, the modal 'must' (obligation) typically changes to 'had to' when the reporting verb is in the past.

Which sentence uses the present perfect correctly to describe an ongoing migration experience?

• I live in Berlin since 2019.
• I have lived in Berlin since 2019.
• I am living in Berlin since 2019.
• I lived in Berlin since 2019.

Answer: I have lived in Berlin since 2019.

With 'since + a point in time' for an action that started in the past and continues now, English requires the present perfect: 'have lived'.

A newspaper article about migration is most likely to use which of these text-type features?

• A headline, a byline, and an objective reporting register
• A greeting, a handwritten signature, and 'Dear Sir or Madam'
• Stage directions and character names
• A recipe list of ingredients

Answer: A headline, a byline, and an objective reporting register

News articles are identified by a headline, byline and a mostly objective register; the other features belong to letters, plays or recipes.

Choose the correct passive form: "Millions of people ______ by conflict every year, forcing them to flee their homes."

• are displaced
• displace
• displacing
• have displacing

Answer: are displaced

The present simple passive 'are displaced' is needed because the people receive the action of being forced to move.
