Preview: Explanations
1."Do"(c)
Use 'Do' with action verbs like 'like'. 'Are' is for adjectives or nouns (Are you hungry?), not action verbs. Do you like Italian food?
2."Is"(a)
Use 'Is' with nouns and adjectives (she + a doctor). Don't use 'Does' here — there is no action verb. Is she a doctor?
3."were"(b)
Use 'were' with adjectives. 'Tired' is an adjective, so we need the verb 'be'. They were tired after the long walk.
4."Did"(d)
Use 'Did' with action verbs in the past. 'Go' is an action verb, so we need 'Did', not 'Were'. Did you go to the cinema last night?
5."doesn't"(a)
'Like' is a verb, so use 'doesn't' (not 'isn't'). He doesn't like getting up early.
