    Correct Answer
    A. Around
    Explanation
    Spinning someone around can cause dizziness and nausea, especially if done repeatedly. The phrase "she'll be sick" suggests that the person being spun around is at risk of getting sick due to the spinning motion. Therefore, the correct answer is "around" as it indicates the circular motion that should be stopped to prevent sickness.

  • 3. 

    I had to walk ... the club. There was so much smoke!

    • Out of

    • Down

    • Up

    • Towards

    Correct Answer
    A. Out of
    Explanation
    The phrase "out of" is the correct answer because it indicates leaving or exiting a place. In this context, the speaker had to walk out of the club because there was a lot of smoke inside. The word "out" suggests moving away or escaping from the smoke-filled environment.

    ​You have to drive ... a tunnel to get to the Barachois.

    • Through

    • Up

    • Across

    • Down

    Correct Answer
    A. Through
    Explanation
    To get to the Barachois, you have to drive through a tunnel. This means that the tunnel is the pathway or route that you need to take in order to reach your destination. Driving "up," "across," or "down" a tunnel would not make sense in this context, as it is not describing the direction in which you need to travel. Therefore, the correct answer is "through."

    Rate this question:

    • Up

    • Down

    A. Up

    The question is asking why she didn't climb a ladder in a specific direction. The correct answer is "up" because climbing a ladder typically involves moving in an upward direction.

    • Into

    • Out of

    • Across

    • Along

    Correct Answer
    A. Into
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "into". This is because when someone is about to go into a tunnel, they expect their phone signal to be cut off. The word "into" indicates movement towards the inside of something, in this case, the tunnel.

    • Off

    • On

    • Across

    Correct Answer
    A. Off

    • Up

    • Through

    • Away from

    • Along

    Correct Answer
    A. Up
    Explanation
    The preposition "up" is commonly used in the context of hiking or climbing to indicate movement in an upward or ascending direction. It helps provide a clear and concise description of the direction of the hike and adds details to the narrative, indicating the challenging and upward nature of the terrain being hiked.

    • Through

    • Into

    • Across

    • Towards

    • Down

    Correct Answer
    A. Into

    The correct answer is "into." This preposition is used to indicate movement or direction towards the inside or interior of a place. In this context, the sentence suggests that the speaker entered the nightclub, and as a result, their friends called them.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    I am not walking ... that!

    • Across

    • Along

    • Down

    • Up

    Correct Answer
    A. Across
    Explanation
    The phrase "I am not walking across that!" implies that the speaker does not want to walk from one side to the other side of something. The word "across" is the correct answer because it best fits the context of the sentence and conveys the intended meaning. The other options, "along," "down," and "up," do not accurately describe the action of walking from one side to the other.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    I enjoy driving ... the Route des Tamarins.

    • Along

    • Through

    • Around

    • Across

    Correct Answer
    A. Along
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "along." This word suggests that the speaker enjoys driving in close proximity to the Route des Tamarins, indicating that they may be driving beside or parallel to the road. The other options, such as "through," "around," and "across," do not convey the same sense of driving in close proximity to the road.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    You have to drive ... La Riviere to get to Cilaos.

    • Through

    • Across

    • Up

    • Down

    Correct Answer
    A. Through
    Explanation
    To get to Cilaos from La Riviere, you have to drive through. This implies that there is a direct route or road that connects the two locations, and you need to follow that route to reach Cilaos. Driving through suggests that you will be passing through the area or region between La Riviere and Cilaos, rather than going around or bypassing it.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    The car is driving ... me.

    • Away from

    • To

    • Though

    • Across

    Correct Answer
    A. Away from
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "away from." This suggests that the car is moving in a direction that is opposite to the speaker's location or position. The phrase "away from" implies that the car is driving in a direction that is further from the speaker, indicating that they are moving apart from each other.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    This weekend we're hiking ... the volcano.

    • To

    • Into

    • Through

    • Up

    Correct Answer
    A. To
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "to" because when we say "hiking to the volcano," it implies that our destination or goal is to reach the volcano. The preposition "to" indicates movement towards a specific place or location, which aligns with the idea of hiking towards the volcano.
