Как рассуждать
Смотри на грамматику и форму слова.
После hasn’t нужно причастие: got over. В 6-м — was + -ing: tapping. В 15-м после avoid ставится -ing: avoid asking; заглавная буква, потому что это начало предложения.Устойчивые сочетания — главная подсказка:
shrug one’s shoulders — пожать плечами;
tap one’s foot — постукивать ногой;
a slim build — стройное телосложение;
get over a cold — оправиться от простуды;
give a hug — обнять;
an excellent host — отличный хозяин;
the bright side of life — светлая сторона жизни;
be keen on — увлекаться.Смысл предложения тоже важен:
stubborn — упрямый; reliable — надёжный; acquaintances — просто знакомые; colleagues — коллеги; dull — скучный; energetic — энергичный.
В 7-м they decided подсказывает множественное число: colleagues, поэтому niece лишнее. В 14-м не подходит fond, потому что правильно было бы fond of, а не on.
Я проверил подстановкой: Pam is so stubborn!, she still hasn’t got over her cold, he just shrugged his shoulders, I’m not very keen on basketball, Avoid asking British people… — грамматика и смысл сходятся.
