Почему так:
- 5 — fade: ткань на солнце выцветает. Dissolve — растворяться, melt — плавиться.
- 6 — thousands of: перед множественным числом — thousands of people. С точным числом было бы fifty thousand people.
- 7 — No, not at all: так отвечают на Would you mind...? — «Нет, не против».
- 8 — them go: после let идёт дополнение + инфинитив без to: let them go.
- 9 — lifter: получается shoplifter — магазинный вор. Robber — грабитель.
- 10 — up: put up with somebody = терпеть кого-то.
- 11 — accused: accuse somebody of something; с blame — blame for, с warn — warn about/of.
- 12 — без предлога: The party lasted all night — «вечеринка длилась всю ночь».
- 13 — have been repairing: действие недавно продолжалось, и сейчас виден результат — грязные руки.
- 14 — is going to fall: предсказание по видимому признаку — книги вот-вот упадут.
- 15 — launch: launch a magazine — запустить журнал/издание.
- 16 — chew: жёсткое мясо нужно долго жевать.
- 17 — had she been studying: past perfect continuous показывает длительность до другого прошлого действия went.
- 18 — to do: в пассиве после make появляется to: be made to do.
- 19 — on: congratulate somebody on doing something.
- 20 — burnt out: burnt out — выгоревший, истощённый от работы.
Проверка: в 13-м нужен b, а не c, потому что вопрос задан сейчас и грязные руки — результат недавней деятельности; форма was repairing просто называла бы прошлое действие.
