32. 1) dreaming 2) assured 3) determined 4) decided The Garden Party They could not have had a more perfect day for a garden party if they had ordered it. Only the blue was veiled with a haze of light gold, as it is sometimes in early summer. The gardener had been up since30_________, mowing the lawns and sweeping them. As for the roses, you could not help feeling they understood that roses are the only flowers that impress people at garden parties, the only flowers that everybody is certain to know. Breakfast was not yet over before the men came to put 31_________ the tent. Where do you want the tent put, mother? asked Laura. My dear child, its no use asking me, replied her mother. Im32_________ to leave everything to my children this year. Forget I am your mother and treat me as an honoured guest. Her sister Meg could not33__________ go and supervise the men. She had washed her hair before breakfast, and she sat drinking her coffee in a green turban, with a dark wet curl stamped on each cheek. So Laura flew away, still holding her piece of bread and butter. Its so delicious to have an34_________ for eating out of doors, and besides, she loved having to arrange things. She always felt she could do it so much better than anybody else. Four men in their shirt sleeves stood grouped together on the garden path. They carried staves covered with rolls of canvas, and they had big35________ bags slung on their backs. They looked impressive. Laura wished now that she had not got the bread and butter, but there was nowhere to put it, and she couldnt throw it36_________. She blushed and tried to look severe as she came up to them.

Класс, давай разберёмся. Твой ответ: 3. Правильно — 3. Давай по шагам и разберёмся, почему именно так. Задание 32: «Her mother. ‘I’m 32_________ to leave everything to my children this year.’» Варианты: 1) dreaming 2) assured 3) determined 4) decided 1) dreaming — неправильное сочетание. Говорят either "dreaming of (doing) something" или "dream of leaving," но не "I'm dreaming to leave." Тут нужен инфинитив после прилагательного, а не конструкция с "to" после глагола; поэтому этот вариант не подходит. 2) assured — тоже неправильно. "I'm assured" — это пассивная конструкция (мне уверено), но она не сочетается с "to leave" в такой форме. Обычно говорят "I'm assured [that...]" или "assured of something." 3) determined — верно. Фраза "I'm determined to leave..." естественна и правильна по смыслу: намерен уйти/оставить всё детям. 4) decided — не совсем естественно в такой форме. Обычно говорят "I've decided to leave" или "I'm determined to leave." "I'm decided to leave" звучит не так. Итого: твой ответ 3 верен, потому и Right answer: "3". Коротко о самом примечании к тексту (что за остальные пропуски в тексте, чтобы понять контекст): - 31: «put up the tent» — тут нужен предлог up, который не связан с данным набором слов (1–4). - 33: обычно "Meg could not possibly go..." — здесь надо слово "possibly". - 34: обычно "an appetite for eating out of doors" или просто "an appetite" — ещё не в рамках твоего выбора. - 35: "big canvas bags" — снова не из списка 1–4. - 36: "throw it away" — обычное сочетание. Зачем полезно запомнить такие сочетания: - determined to + глагол в инфинитиве — очень частая конструкция. - dream of/ about + gerund (dreaming of leaving) — другая частотная конструкция, но она нужна в другом контексте. - be decided to … — редко, чаще говорят "be determined to …" или "I've decided to …". Хочешь, пройду по всем пропускам 30–36 и объясню, какие слова под какие пропуски лучше подходят и почему, чтобы закрепить шаблоны? Или продолжим с другими заданиями?
