    Correct Answer
    A. Sometimes
    Explanation
    The sentence suggests that the speaker and the listener ate at the restaurant a few times last month. The word "sometimes" fits in the blank because it indicates that they do not eat out all the time, but they do occasionally eat at the restaurant. This choice is supported by the use of the word "a few times" in the sentence, which implies that it is not a regular occurrence.

    The word "never" in this context indicates that the person does not drink coffee in the evening because it causes them to become an insomniac. It implies that the person completely avoids consuming coffee during this time of day to prevent any negative effects on their sleep.

    • Never

    • Seldom

    • Always

    • Often

    Correct Answer
    A. Seldom
    Explanation
    The word "seldom" means not often or rarely. Therefore, if someone is "seldom sick," it implies that they do not get sick very often. This explanation fits with the context of the sentence, where the person's brother saw a doctor a couple of years ago, suggesting that he is rarely sick.

    • Often

    • Sometimes

    • Usually

    • Hardly ever

    Correct Answer
    A. Hardly ever
    Explanation
    The phrase "hardly ever" accurately reflects the rarity of an event such as swimming only once a year. It indicates that the action is so infrequent it almost never happens. This choice effectively communicates that swimming is an exceptional activity rather than a regular occurrence, contrasting sharply with terms like "often," "sometimes," and "usually," which imply more frequency. Therefore, "hardly ever" best fits the context of an annual occurrence.
