Q2: Sentence is not complete: “A serious problem came up AFTER the project had been started”.
It is really awkward to have to start again after leaving a comment.
I have completed the sentence. It is OK now.
After leaving a comment, the page reloads. That is why you have start again. You can leave a comment after finishing the test.
15. The old woman was taken the noise_____ the traffic.
aback / of
B away / with
off / of
D after/in
E o ut/a t
The line/dash is missing after the verb TAKEN _______, and I guess a ”by” is missing after that. There are unnecessary spaces in the last option.
In Q20 there are two dashes, one too many.
Otherwise I enjoyed the test very much! I’m going to try some other ones as well.
Hi, Marina! The problems you mentioned were copy-paste mistakes. I have corrected them. Thank you so much for your contribution.
6.My mother always _____ the advantages of country life because she’s spent all her childhood in a small village
A dwells on
B faces with
C gets after
D puts off
E touches on
Correct shown answer would be “E”, but it seems that if someone is always speaking about something, he or she would be dwelling on about it. Touch on smt means to speak briefly about something, doesn´t it?
Thanks!!
Hello, Juan! Please, check the definitions for both phrasal verbs.
touch on: to mention a particular subject when talking or writing
dwell on/upon: to think, speak, or write at length about (a particular subject, especially one that is a source of unhappiness, anxiety, or dissatisfaction)
Indeed good tests!!! Thank you very much, everyone can make a mistrake. Keep going on!
