Question 2

They definitely ….. the mould when they ….. their latest model; it's totally different from anything else they've ever created.

D) broke / brought out. Expresia idiomatică *break the mould* înseamnă „a ieși din tipar, a inova radical”, sensul cerut de „totally different”, iar verbul frazal *bring out* înseamnă „a lansa” (un produs), colocația firească pentru „latest model”.

cracked / brought off

Answer

changed / came out with

destroyed / brought up

Question 3

I have just talked to my sister-in-law and she says she ….. while she was on a business trip.

Accepted Answer

C) had her phone stolen. Construcția cauzativă pasivă *have something done* descrie o acțiune suferită de subiect, nu efectuată de el — *had her phone stolen* („i-a fost furat telefonul”). Celelalte variante nu respectă tiparul gramatical *have + obiect + participiu*.

Answer

got stolen her phone

Answer

had been stolen her phone

Answer

had her phone steal

Question 4

Who has broken this mug?

Accepted Answer

C) Who has this mug been broken by?. Transformarea la pasiv trebuie să păstreze timpul original, prezentul perfect: *has broken* devine *has been broken*, deci întrebarea corectă e *Who has this mug been broken by?*. Celelalte variante schimbă greșit timpul verbal în prezent sau trecut simplu.

Answer

Who is this mug broken by?

Answer

Who was this mug broken by?

Answer

Who was this mug breaking by?

Question 5

It is possible that he lost the game. He was not in the best mood when I ran into him the other day.

Accepted Answer

A) He may have lost the game. He was not in the best mood when I bumped into him the other day.. *May have lost* exprimă exact gradul de certitudine din „it is possible”, iar *bumped into* este sinonimul corect, la timpul potrivit, pentru *ran into*. Celelalte variante fie greșesc timpul verbal (*run*, *might lost*), fie schimbă sensul spre o certitudine mai mare (*must have been losing*).

Answer

He could have lost the game. He was not in the best mood when I run across him the other day.

Answer

He might lost the game. He was not in the best mood when I bumped into him the other day.

Answer

He must have been losing the game. He was not in the best mood when I rushed into him the other day.
