James: Great idea, Linda. let's go.

Explanation

In the conversation, Linda expresses her desire to visit the new Thai restaurant in Plaza del Sol. To convey this intention, she uses the phrase "I'd like."

6. James: Oh, I know! We both like ________ (ski).
Linda: Actually, I can't stand the cold and the snow.

Explanation

In the conversation, James suggests that they both like skiing. However, Linda contradicts him by saying that she can't stand the cold and the snow. Therefore, the correct answer is "skiing, to ski" as it reflects James' assumption and Linda's disagreement with it.

Submit
7. James: Yeah, but these days I prefer ____________ tennis on TV.

Explanation

The question asks for the preferred way of engaging with tennis on TV. The correct answer options are "to watch" and "watching." Both options are grammatically correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. "To watch" implies a conscious decision or intention to engage in the activity of watching tennis on TV. On the other hand, "watching" suggests a general preference or enjoyment of the activity without explicitly stating an intention. Therefore, both options can be considered correct depending on the intended meaning.

Submit

James: Yeah, but it's pretty noisy.

Explanation

Linda suggests bowling as an activity that both she and James can do together. James agrees but mentions that it can be noisy. The correct answer is "bowl," which is the verb form of the activity Linda suggests.
