    I just returned from the greatest summer vacation! It was so fantastic, I never wanted it to end. I spent eight days in Paris, France. My best friends, Henry and Steve, went with me. We had a beautiful hotel room in the Latin Quarter, and it wasn’t even expensive. We had a balcony with a wonderful view. We visited many famous tourist places. My favorite was the Louvre, a well-known museum. I was always interested in art, so that was a special treat for me. The museum is so huge, you could spend weeks there. Henry got tired walking around the museum and said “Enough! I need to take a break and rest.” We took lots of breaks and sat in cafes along the river Seine. The French food we ate was delicious. The wines were tasty, too. Steve’s favorite part of the vacation was the hotel breakfast. He said he would be happy if he could eat croissants like those forever. We had so much fun that we’re already talking about our next vacation! What city did they go to for their summer vacation?

    • Latin

    • Paris

    • Louvre

    • Lyon

    Correct Answer
    A. Paris
    Explanation
    The passage mentions that the narrator and their friends stayed in a hotel room in the Latin Quarter of a city. They also visited the Louvre, which is a well-known museum in this city. Therefore, the city they went to for their summer vacation is Paris.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The team __________ the hotel by the time I arrived

    A. Had already left
    Explanation
    The use of "had already left" in the sentence suggests that the team left the hotel before the speaker arrived. The past perfect tense "had left" indicates that the action of leaving occurred before another past event (the speaker's arrival). The word "already" emphasizes that the team left prior to the speaker's arrival.

  • 12. 

    I have to ________ the date for the party, or I’ll forget it.

    • Fill out

    • Write down

    Correct Answer
    A. Write down
    Explanation
    The phrase "write down" is the correct answer because it means to record or note something on paper or in a document. In this context, the speaker wants to make sure they remember the date for the party, so they need to write it down to avoid forgetting it. "Fill out" does not fit the context as it means to complete a form or document, which is not necessary in this situation.

    A. Expenses
    Explanation
    To ensure we are within budget, it is important to monitor our monthly expenses. This allows us to track our spending and identify any areas where we may have overspent, as mentioned in the statement. By keeping a close eye on our expenses, we can make necessary adjustments and ensure that we stay within our financial limits. Therefore, expenses is the correct answer in this context.

    Correct Answer
    A. Doesn't

It implies that the question is open-ended and could be referring to any person living in the house, regardless of their identity.

    • Is fixed by the mechanic

    Correct Answer
    A. Fixed by a mechanic
    Explanation

    The correct answer is "grilled" because grilling fish involves cooking it over direct heat without adding much oil or fat.

Therefore, the fish being grilled makes it a light option.

    • Highway

    • Road

    • Sign

    Correct Answer
    A. Sign
    Explanation
    When driving, it is common to see signs indicating upcoming exits or destinations. In this scenario, the statement suggests that there is a specific sign that the person will encounter while on the road, which will serve as a marker for reaching Brooklyn. The instruction to "get off at the exit after that" implies that the sign will indicate the desired route or direction to take in order to reach Brooklyn. Therefore, the correct answer is "sign."

In the original sentence, the verb "gave" is in the past tense, so the correct form of the verb "to be" in the past tense should be used to maintain consistency. Therefore, "was given" is the appropriate choice as it correctly conveys the action of the sweater being given to the speaker by a friend.
