Copy Of Gateway B1 Unit 1 Test Standard Vocabulary+grammar

The given answer, "baby," is the correct answer because the statement mentions that the person in question doesn't sleep much at night. This is a characteristic commonly associated with babies, as they often have irregular sleep patterns and may wake up frequently during the night. The other options, such as middle-aged, senior citizen, teenager, and young adult, do not fit the description given in the statement.

The correct answer is "stepfather". In the given sentence, the speaker's mother has married again, indicating that she has a new husband. The phrase "my new" suggests that the speaker is referring to a family member, and the word "stepfather" specifically refers to the husband of one's biological parent. Therefore, "stepfather" is the most appropriate term to describe the speaker's mother's new husband.

Based on the given information that Brett and Beth are not happy together, it suggests that their relationship is likely to end soon. Therefore, the most suitable option is "divorced" as it implies the legal termination of their marriage.

The correct answer is teenager. The passage states that the sister is 17 years old, which falls within the range of teenage years. The mention of living with the mother and stepfather also suggests that she is still dependent on her parents, further supporting the idea that she is a teenager.

The term "cousins" refers to the children of one's uncle or aunt. In this scenario, the speaker's uncle has two children who are the same age as the speaker, making them cousins.

The correct answer is brother-in-law because the sentence mentions that the speaker is happy that their sister married him. This implies that the person being referred to is related to the speaker through marriage, which is the definition of a brother-in-law.

The correct answer is "an". In this sentence, the word "engineer" begins with a vowel sound (/ɪnˈdʒɪˈnɪər/), so we use the indefinite article "an" before it.

The correct answer is "an only". This is because the phrase "an only child" refers to someone who does not have any siblings. In the given sentence, Helen is described as "an only child", indicating that she is the sole child in her family. The phrase "and she doesn't like it" suggests that Helen is unhappy about being the only child, possibly because she feels lonely or lacks companionship.

The correct answer is "senior citizen" because the sentence mentions that the person is 70 years old, retired, and living with his wife in Spain. These details indicate that he is in the stage of life typically associated with being a senior citizen.

Based on the information provided, the aunt is 48 years old and works as a teacher in a secondary school. This indicates that she is not a baby, teenager, or senior citizen. A middle-aged person is typically considered to be between the ages of 45 and 65, which fits the aunt's age range. Therefore, the correct answer is middle-aged.

The correct answer is "a". In this sentence, "Jan" is referring to a specific person, but the baby is not previously mentioned or known to the listener. Therefore, the indefinite article "a" is used to introduce the new baby.

The correct answer is "the". In this sentence, the speaker is referring to a specific kitchen, which is the one in their house. "The" is used to indicate a specific noun that both the speaker and the listener are aware of.

The correct answer is "young adult." This is because the sentence states that Mary is 25 years old and wants to get married next year. This age range typically falls within the category of a young adult, as individuals in their mid-20s are considered to be transitioning from adolescence to adulthood.

The correct noun form of the verb "inform" is "information". In this sentence, the speaker asked the teacher for information about the new drama club.

In this question, the correct answer is "no article". This is because the question is asking about the general concept of studying English, rather than a specific instance or a particular English subject. When we talk about general activities or preferences, we usually don't use an article. Therefore, "no article" is the appropriate choice in this context.

The given sentence states that "We guarantee an improvement in your English." The word "improvement" is the correct answer because it directly corresponds to the missing word in the sentence. It completes the sentence by indicating that there will be a positive change or progress in the person's English skills.

The correct answer is "retirement" because the sentence indicates that the grandmother is not enjoying a certain phase of her life and is feeling bored. The word "retirement" fits perfectly in this context as it refers to the period of time when someone stops working and starts enjoying their leisure time.

To be an actor and perform in front of crowds of people, one needs a lot of confidence. Confidence is the belief in oneself and one's abilities, which allows actors to overcome stage fright and deliver their best performances. It is essential for actors to have confidence in order to portray characters convincingly and captivate audiences. Without confidence, actors may struggle with nerves and self-doubt, hindering their ability to connect with the audience and deliver a memorable performance.

The correct answer is "works". This is because the sentence states that the person's dad is employed in a bank in the city center and drives there every day. The verb "works" is used to describe someone's employment or job.

The correct answer is "the". In this sentence, "the" is used before "television" because it refers to a specific television that the speaker and the listener are both aware of. The sentence is asking if the listener can turn on the specific television that they both know is being referred to.

The word "go" is the correct answer because it fits grammatically and contextually in the sentence. The sentence is talking about going on holiday to Spain, which implies traveling or going to a different location. The other options (have, stay, study, work) do not fit the sentence as they do not convey the idea of traveling or going on vacation.

The question is asking for a description of the bag. The correct answer is "description," which directly answers the question by providing the requested information.

The given answer is correct because it follows the grammatical structure of the question. The question is asking if the person being addressed knows the speaker's friend Susie. The present simple tense "do you know" is used to inquire about a person's knowledge or familiarity with someone. The question is also formed correctly with the subject "you" followed by the verb "know" and the object "my friend Susie."

The correct answer is "is studying, 's studying" because the sentence is describing the current situation of the cousin. The present continuous tense "is studying" is used to indicate an action that is happening at the moment. The contraction "'s" is short for "is" and is used to show possession or a characteristic. In this case, it is used to show that the cousin is having a great time.

Our family has dinner together every evening. I think it's important.

The correct answer is "am staying, 'm staying" because the sentence is referring to a specific time in the future, which is this weekend. In this context, the present continuous tense is used to talk about future plans or arrangements. Therefore, the correct form is "am staying" for the subject "I" and "'m staying" for the contracted form of "I am."

The answer is correct because it restates the original question accurately. It uses the same words and follows the same sentence structure, making it a suitable response.

The correct answer is "We're studying present tenses this week" or "We are studying present tenses this week". Both of these answers correctly convey that the subject (we) is currently engaged in studying present tenses and that this activity is taking place during the current week. The contraction "we're" is a shortened form of "we are" and can be used interchangeably in this context.

The given answer correctly rephrases the statement "I'm afraid I don't understand this homework." It maintains the same meaning and conveys the speaker's uncertainty and lack of comprehension regarding the homework. The use of "I'm afraid" adds a touch of politeness and indicates the speaker's concern about their inability to understand the assignment.

The given statement "Jack/not work/on his computer/right now" indicates that Jack is currently not working on his computer. The answer rephrases the statement in a clear and concise manner, stating that Jack isn't working on his computer right now.
