Explanation

The correct answer is "I'll get it for you" because it is the most appropriate response to someone asking for something. It shows a willingness to help and fulfill the person's request. The other options are not as suitable in this context. "I'll call them soon" suggests that the speaker will make a phone call, which is not relevant to the situation. "Here is your menu" is unrelated to the request and "I'll check on the situation" implies that the speaker will inquire about a specific situation, which is not mentioned in the prompt.

Explanation

The given answer, "I love to go mountain climbing," is the best answer because it is the only statement that expresses a positive feeling or preference. The other statements either express a negative sentiment (can't stand the noise pollution) or describe a neutral event (slept well last night, was involved in a tragic accident). Therefore, "I love to go mountain climbing" is the most appropriate answer in this context.

Explanation

The correct answer is "At a certified computer store." This is because the question is asking where the scenario takes place, and out of the given options, a certified computer store is the most relevant location for purchasing or dealing with computer-related products or services.

Being surrounded by English speakers also provides opportunities for cultural immersion and a deeper understanding of the language in its natural context.

Submit

18. What is one of the advantages of staying in your country to learn English?

Explanation

One of the advantages of staying in your country to learn English is that your life can continue more or less as it was before. This means that you don't have to make major adjustments or sacrifices in terms of your daily routine, social life, or personal commitments. You can still go about your usual activities and responsibilities while also focusing on improving your English skills. This convenience can make the learning process more manageable and less disruptive to your overall lifestyle.

Submit
19. People who don't have a lot of time and money should...

Explanation

The correct answer is "Try and speak English in class more often." This answer is the most suitable for people who don't have a lot of time and money because it suggests maximizing the learning experience within the constraints. By speaking English more often in class, individuals can practice and improve their language skills without the need for additional resources or travel expenses. It is a practical and efficient approach to language learning for those with limited time and financial resources.

Submit

Explanation

The correct answer is "in" because the phrase "in a hurry" is a common expression used to indicate that someone is feeling rushed or pressed for time.

Submit
22. I am upset.

Explanation

The word "upset" indicates a feeling of distress or dissatisfaction. "Unhappy" is the closest synonym to "upset" as it also refers to a state of not feeling pleased or satisfied. "Tired" and "rich" are unrelated to the feeling of being upset, so they are not the correct answers.

Submit
35. You'll join us tonight, _____?

Explanation

The sentence "You'll join us tonight, won't you?" is a tag question. In tag questions, the auxiliary verb is used to match the tense of the main clause.
