This sentence requires the present perfect tense to show an action that happened in the recent past and has a direct result in the present (the door is not broken). The subject 'He' is third-person singular, which requires the auxiliary verb 'has'. The formula is: Subject + has + just + past participle (fixed). 'Have' is only used for plural subjects or 'I/You'.

This question tests the correct word order of adverbs in a sentence. In English, adverbs of frequency (such as 'usually') typically come before the main verb, while adverbs of manner (such as 'carefully') typically follow the verb or the object. The structure 'Subject + Adverb of Frequency + Verb + Adverb of Manner' creates a grammatically natural and clear sentence. Option A follows this standard syntax perfectly.

The modal perfect 'shouldn't have' is used to express that an action was not necessary or expected, often used as a polite social convention when receiving a gift. It suggests that while the gesture is appreciated, the speaker feels the other person went to more trouble than was required. The other options do not fit the past participle 'bought' to create a logical or grammatically correct expression of gratitude in this context.

The verb 'to bite' is an irregular verb in English. Its principal parts are 'bite' (present), 'bit' (past simple), and 'bitten' (past participle). 'Bited' and 'bitted' are incorrect attempts to apply regular verb endings to an irregular verb. Since the sentence describes a completed action in the past, the correct past simple form is 'bit'.

This sentence requires the future perfect tense to describe an action that will be completed by a specific point in the future ('by this time tomorrow'). The future perfect is formed using 'will have' followed by the past participle of the main verb (in this case, 'had'). 'Will have had' indicates that the meeting will be finished before the timeframe mentioned occurs.

The verb 'forget' can be followed by an infinitive or a gerund, but the meaning changes. When 'forget' is followed by a 'to-infinitive', it refers to an action that one must remember to do in the future. In this case, the person is being reminded to perform a task (picking up the post) upon their return. Therefore, the infinitive 'to pick up' is the grammatically correct choice for a reminder.

The conjunction 'as if' is used to describe an appearance or a situation that may or may not be true. In this sentence, the speaker is describing David's behaviour—walking past without acknowledgement—by comparing it to the behaviour of someone who does not know them. Option D is incorrect here because 'he didn't know us' already provides a full clause, so adding 'he were' would be redundant and ungrammatical.

This sentence requires a construction to indicate the absence of something. The phrase 'there were no' followed by a plural noun is a standard and grammatically correct way to indicate zero quantity. 'Weren't no' is a double negative, which is non-standard in formal English, and 'were not' would require an article or quantifier like 'any' to function correctly in this specific sentence structure.

This is a question tag problem. The statement 'He works at the theatre' is in the present simple tense and is affirmative. The rule for question tags is that an affirmative statement takes a negative tag. Since the main verb is 'works', we use the negative auxiliary 'doesn't' followed by the subject pronoun 'he' to form the tag 'doesn't he?'.

This sentence describes an intended action that was about to happen at a specific point in the past ('when you arrived'). This requires the 'future in the past' construction using 'were going to' + base verb. Options A, B, and C are grammatically incorrect because they either use the wrong auxiliary verbs or fail to maintain the past tense context established by the word 'arrived'.
