PASSAGE.1

2.

[See the second sentence in the first paragraph of the passage.]

'A' cannot be the answer since it con tradicts what has been said in the first sentence of the passage 'a true apology is more than ya

"C" is wrong since an apology does not damage a relation- ship and D is wrong because recognizing a mistake is not the same as “acknowled- ging or admitting' a mistake.

C [See the last sentence of the second

paragraph.]

A is wrong because according to the author, we should admit what we have done and not just think about it. 'B' is wrong because the author has urged us to admit our faults rather than try to escape being disturbed and D is wrong because": feeling sorry is not the same as apologi-. zing and the author has pointed out the importance of apologizing rather than just remaining silent when we have done something wrong.

3. D [See the last sentence of the second paragraph in the original passage.]

4. C We can see from paragraphs 3 and 4 of the original passage that "A" head- aches, insomnia, 'B' gastric disturbances, etc. were only symptoms (signs or undica- tions) of the patient's disease and not its cause D is wrong since the passage (paragrpah 3) tells us that no physical cause could be found and we can see from the story related in paragraphs 3 and 4 that the patient's, illness was, in fact, caused by his feelings of guilt (disturbance .. of conscience) for having cheated his brother.

5. B [See the first sentence of paragraph

41

“A” is wrong because the passage merely said that the man's brother had gone abroad but did not say that the man had sent him abroad. 'C' is wrong because the passage stated that he had been cheating his brother of his inheritance" and not that he had given.just a little. share of it to his brother and D is of course wrong since the passage never mentioned the man's going abroad.

[See the Answer to question 4 above.]

[See the first sentence of the last paragraph.]

at the expense of at the cost of some- thing or to o some one else's loss

When we say that he "succeeded at the expense of his friends, we mean that he succeeded by causing his friends to lose something. In other words, he cheated them out of money or took business away from them. In short, he succeeded but they suffered some sort of loss.

He became a successful businessman at the expense of his health. (He became a successful businessman but his health became worse)

That country made some progress but it was at the expense of its people's. Freedom and happiness.

He got rich at the expense of the poor. (He became rich by cheating the poor.)

When the adjective "late' appears with "the" in front of a person's name, it means that the person thus mentioned has already passed away.

The late Mr. Jones was one of my closest friends.

PASSAGE 2

11 D [See the second sentence of the

second paragraph.]

"A" and "C" are wrong since in the passage the author never said that a musical educa- tion was either an adventure or an essential part of a child's education.'B', on the other hand, is obviously wrong since it contra- dicts what was said in the second sen- tence of the second paragraph in the original passage.

12. C [See the fourth sentence of the second paragraph in the original passage:]

paragraph in the original passage.}

[See the second sentence of the fourth

"Stick an activity out" means to continue doing that activity in spite of hardship, inconvenience, etc.

If we can just stick it out for another month or so, this difficult project will be successfully completed.

18. A [See the third, fourth, fifth and sixth

sentences of the first paragraph.] 19. D

A talent is a natural power or ability to do something well.

Why not is often used in response to a sug gestion involving the person making the suggestion as well as the person spoken to (Let's, shall we, etc.) to show that the speaker agrees with the suggestion made. X: Let's go for a swim, shall we? Y: Why not?

Other possible positive responsers to such suggestions are

That's a good idea.

Good idea!

Yes, let's

Yes, I think we should.

X: Let's go to a film.

Y.. That's a good idea.

X: Let's have dinner now. Y: Yes, I think we should. XShall we go for a walk?

Y: Yes, let's.

Suitable negative responses to such sug gestions would be:

X

No, let's not.

I'd rather not.

I don't think that's a good idea,

No, I don't think we should.

Shall we go for a walk?

X I'd rather nota

however,

If, however, the suggestion made does

not include the speaker in it, we may not use let's or let's not” or “I think we should' or 'I don't think we should' in the response.

X: Why don't you go to a film?

Positive reponse..

That's a good idea.

b. Why not?

I think I shall.

d. I think I should.

Negative, response Ya.

I'd rather not.

b: I don't think I should.

e.

I don't think I shall.

d. I don't think that's a good idea.

A is wrong since really followed by question mark can only be used in response to a statement of fact.

X: Mary has decided to get married," Y: 'Really?

B is wrong since when using a short answer including the words want' 'need', ought, plan or any other verb normally followed by an infinitive (see the Answer Book to Effective English pages 35-36 for a list of verbs followed by the Infini tive) or when using a short answer in- cluding a form of the verb 'to be' with an adjective normally followed by an infini- tive, we must end the short answer with the "to of the infinitive which would normally be used in a long answer.

X. Do you want to go there?

Y: Yes, I want to.

Note

that if we do not use the want, we need not use the 'to either. For example:

X: Do you want to go there?

Y: Yes, I do.

X Is Peter really willing to help us with

this problem?

Yes, he is really willing to

Y: Yes,

Note that if the adjective, willing or any other such adjective is not used in the answer, we need not use the to. For example:

X: Is Peter really willing to help us?”. Y: Yes, he is

'C' is wrong since so shall F is not a saita- ble response to a suggestion.

22. B.

When answering a phone in English and we find that the person on the other end of

the line is Jooking for us, we tell him our

identity by saying:

This is he (she).

b.. Speaking.

C This is he (she) speaking

The would have gone of the original statement tells us that, in fact, the speaker did not go as would have is used to ex- press a past, untrue action in a conditional type of sentence. (See the Answer Book to Effective English, the first Review Lesson, pages 31-45.).

should know better should realize that such an action is bad, illegal, improper, foolish, etc.

You should know better than (to) ask such a stupid question. (You should know that it is improper to ask such a stupid question.)

Holen should know better than (to) write on her dress. (Helen should know that it is bad to write on her dress.)

John should know better than (to) believe Henry. (John should know that it's foolish to believe Henry.).

In the above examples, the to in the infinitive after than has been put in parentheses to show that it may either be used or left out (e.g. You should know better than to do that or you should know better than do that.)

Should' is what we call a defective verb, a verb which cannot show tenses as most normal verbs do. When we use a defective verb and we want to show that an action happened in the past, we must use a perfect infinitive. ⠀

The following are defective verbs

should ought may might could can

Now or the future

I should go now.

You ought to study hard this year. She may come today.

He might be at John's house now,

Past

I should have gone yesterday.

You ought to have studied hard last year.

She may have come yesterday.

He might have been at John's house yesterday.
