Как получились ответы
№1 — важно, какая часть речи нужна в пропуске:
| Пропуск | Слово | Объяснение |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | stylish | перед словом outfits нужно прилагательное: «стильные наряды». |
| 2 | bossy | параллельно с selfish: «эгоистичные и любящие командовать». |
| 3 | creative | описание людей: «творческие, с интересами помимо моды и вечеринок». |
| 4 | uncomfortable | после feel нужно прилагательное: «чувствовать себя неловко». |
| 5 | crazy | устойчивое выражение drive somebody crazy — «сводить кого-то с ума». |
| 6 | hold | выражение hold one’s tongue — «держать язык за зубами», после will нужна базовая форма глагола. |
№2 — опираемся на текст:
- T — «cool» people могут быть selfish and bossy.
- T — прямо сказано: reliable and generous.
- F — в тексте совет Always speak your mind, а не молчать.
- F — не нужно делать всё, что они просят; наоборот, нельзя делать то, от чего тебе uncomfortable.
- T — это вывод из финальной фразы: важнее quality, а не количество друзей.
- T — настоящий друг will never give away your secrets.
- T — друг останется с тобой, даже если ты drive them crazy.
- F — текст как раз спрашивает: Making friends that count or counting friends? Важнее качество.
- T — «truly cool» люди humorous, talkative и не относятся плохо к другим.
- F — в тексте сказано attractive, а не ugly.
Проверка: в №1 все пропуски грамматически подходят: после wear / be / feel стоят прилагательные, после will — глагол hold, а drive them crazy — устойчивое выражение.
