Daisy Oh, hey, Neil!
Neil Oh, hi, Daisy. I haven't seen you for ages.
Daisy I know. I've been away.
Neil Really? What have you been up to?
Daisy I've just got back from an adventure holiday in Zambia.
Neil Wow! Was it good?
Daisy It was amazing! I've done a lot over the last few weeks. I went kayaking on the Zambezi River and I saw the Victoria Falls.
Neil That sounds great. Did you take many photos?
Daisy Yes, I've already posted hundreds! What about you? Have you been doing anything special?
Neil Not really. I've been studying every day. We've got exams all week.
Daisy Oh. Good luck with that.
Neil Thanks. Bye, Daisy. It was good to see you again.
11. B) go
The correct form is "go" because the verb should be in the base form after the modal verb "would rather."
12. B) the/-
The phrase "the rest" refers to a specific group of people, so "the" is appropriate. However, "hospital" does not require an article in this context.
13. A) still
The word "still" indicates that the action (not doing homework) continues up until the present moment.
14. C) didn't have
The sentence is in the second conditional, expressing a hypothetical situation. The correct form is "didn't have" to match the conditional structure.
15. C) trying / haven't worked
The infinitive form "to try" should be used after "no use." The present perfect tense "haven't worked" is appropriate to indicate ongoing action up to the present moment.
16. D) cut
The past participle form "cut" is the correct choice after the verb "have" in the present perfect tense.
17. D) Although
The word "although" is used to introduce a contrast or concession, indicating that the second part of the sentence contradicts the first part.
18. A) succeeded in passing
The phrasal verb "succeeded in" is the correct construction to indicate achieving success in passing the driving test.
19. D) can it
The question tag after a positive sentence with an auxiliary verb "can" should be "can it."
20. C) 3
The sentence should be "run by local education authorities" instead of "run by local education" as "authorities" is necessary for the meaning to be complete.
