Конечно! Вот подробное решение упражнения 13 «Выбор правильного слова» с объяснениями для каждого вопроса:
1. By nature all men are alike, but by education widely **differ** ... . Do you think **differ** ... about it? (different, differently)
**Правильный ответ:** **differ** (глагол) — "часто люди по природе одинаковы, но по воспитанию существенно **различаются**".
В данном случае нужен глагол, подходящий по контексту, — "differ".
**Объяснение:** "Differ" — глагол, обозначающий "отличаться".
— Do you think **differ** about it? — некорректно, правильнее — "What do you think about it?", без "differing".
2. My teacher taught me ... as he used the latest, most... methods of teaching, (effective, effectively)
**Правильный ответ:** **effectively**
Объяснение: "taught me effectively" — учитель преподавал **эффективно**, то есть способ подачи информации.
3. Men talk ..., but live ... . Even ... men make ... mistakes, (wise, wisely, foolish, foolishly)
**Правильный ответ:** "Men talk **wisely**, but live **foolishly**. Even **wise** men make **foolish** mistakes."
Объяснение: "talk wisely" — говорить мудро, "live foolishly" — жить глупо.
4. The children's presentation was very ... . The events developed ... . (dynamic, dynamically)
**Правильный ответ:** "The children's presentation was very **dynamic**. The events developed **dynamically**."
Объяснение: "dynamic" — прилагательное, описывает качество, "dynamically" — наречие описывает способ развития.
5. Life is too ... to learn more than one business well. They returned ... afterwards, (short, shortly)
**Правильный ответ:** "Life is too **short** to learn more than one business well. They returned **shortly** afterwards."
Объяснение: "short" — прилагательное, "shortly" — наречие (немного позже).
6. — Act ... and go ... . — But I am neither ... nor ... . (honest, honestly, bold, boldly)
**Правильный ответ:** "— Act **boldly** and go **honestly**." — But I am neither **honest** nor **bold**."
Объяснение: "act boldly", "go honestly" — наречия, прилагательные — "honest", "bold".
7. She is walking so ... . How ... this ballerina is! (graceful, gracefully)
**Правильный ответ:** "She is walking so **gracefully**. How **graceful** this ballerina is!"
Объяснение: "walk gracefully" — наречие, "how graceful" — прилагательное.
8. — We must have a ... talk. — Is it so necessary to discuss all this ... ? (confidential, confidentially)
**Правильный ответ:** "We must have a **confidential** talk. — Is it so necessary to discuss all this **confidentially**?"
Объяснение: "confidential talk" — секретный, "discuss confidentially" — обсуждать секретно.
9. His name can be ... seen in many papers. What's the ... news? (current, currently)
**Правильный ответ:** "His name can be **easily** seen in many papers. What's the **current** news?"
Но вариант с предложенными словами: "His name can be **currently** seen..." — некорректно, так как "currently" — наречие времени, а "see" — можно дополнить "seen", но лучше использовать: "His name can be **commonly** seen..." — если бы было.
В рамках варианта лучше: "His name can be **easily** seen..." — хотя это не из предложенных.
Поэтому правильнее — "His name can be **currently** seen" — некорректно для смысла, лучше было бы: "His name can be **seen** in many papers. What's **current** news?" — в вопросе исправляем: "current" — прилагательное, "currently" — наречие.
10. — Charles and Diana were very ... matched. — Yes, it was a ... match from start to finish, (bad, badly)
**Правильный ответ:** "Charles and Diana were very **badly** matched. — Yes, it was a **bad** match from start to finish."
Объяснение: "badly matched" — неправильно подобрано, правильнее — "poorly matched" или "badly" в роли наречия.
Вариант с исправлениями: "very poorly matched", "bad match". По сути, правильнее — "badly", потому что "bad" — прилагательное, "badly" — наречие.
11. Make haste ... . He is as ... as a snail, (slow, slowly)
**Правильный ответ:** "Make haste **quickly**." — Но из предложенных нет "quickly".
Для сравнения: "He is as **slow** as a snail."
**Объяснение:** "Make haste quickly" — правильно. Есть же вариант "slow, slowly".
Итак, наиболее подходящее: "Make haste **slowly**" — неверно. Правильно — "Make haste **quickly**". Но в вариантах нет "quickly". Тогда лучше выбрать "He is as **slow** as a snail." — чтобы указать сравнительную характеристику.
12. Computers have ... made a difference in our lives. She is ... to arrive on time, (sure, surely)
**Правильный ответ:** "Computers have **surely** made a difference in our lives. She is **sure** to arrive on time."
Объяснение: "surely" — наречие, "sure" — прилагательное, "she is sure to arrive" — она наверняка придет.
13. On the new stereo, many of the records sounded ... . This time we shall do it ... . (different, differently)
**Правильный ответ:** "Many records sounded **differently**. This time we shall do it **differently**."
Объяснение: оба слова — наречия, описывающие качество действия.
14. The age difference between the brothers is really quite ... . Her husband was ... shorter than she was. (slight, slightly)
**Правильный ответ:** "The age difference is really quite **slight**. Her husband was **slightly** shorter than she was."
Объяснение: "slight" — прилагательное, "slightly" — наречие.
15. She paused ... . Landing on the moon was one of the most ... scientific adventures of the twentieth century, (dramatic, dramatically)
**Правильный ответ:** "She paused **dramatically**. Landing on the moon was one of the most **dramatic** scientific adventures."
Объяснение: "pausing dramatically" — прилагательное или наречие; оба возможны, контекст указывает, что "dramatically" — наречие; "dramatic" — прилагательное.
