During the warmer months, Tim can be found working in a village.

3. According to the text, Tim Darby has a typical job. 

Explanation

The text does not provide any information about Tim Darby's job, so it cannot be determined whether he has a typical job or not. Therefore, the answer is false.

Submit
4.                         

Explanation

The correct answer is "a shouldn't". This is because "shouldn't" is the negative form of "should", indicating that something is not advisable or recommended. The other options do not convey the same meaning. "Wouldn't" refers to a hypothetical situation, "haven't" is the present perfect tense and does not fit the context, and "needn't" suggests that something is not necessary but does not imply that it is not advisable.

Submit
5. Tim has nothing else to learn about his job. 

Explanation

The statement suggests that Tim has already learned everything there is to know about his job. However, it is unlikely that anyone can claim to know everything about their job, as there is always room for growth, learning new skills, and adapting to changes in the industry. Therefore, the correct answer is "False."

Submit

The statement states that Tim works in lots of different places throughout the year. However, the correct answer is "False" which means that the statement is not true. This implies that Tim does not work in lots of different places throughout the year.

Submit
7.              

Explanation

The correct answer is "a tell" because the verb "tell" is in its base form, which is used after the auxiliary verb "will" to form the future tense. In this case, "will" is not present, so the base form "tell" is the correct choice.

Explanation

Tim prefers the work he does in the summer to the work he does in the winter. The correct answer is False.

11.

Explanation

The statement suggests that Tim does not enjoy being outside in his job.
