Question 16

18- What are you having … ?
>
> For drink
> To drink

Answer 16

To translate “pour”, use “to” in front of a verb, “for” in front of a noun or verb in the “-ing” form (la nominalisation du verbe). “Drink” here is a verb, so “to”

Question 17

> 20- 40% of Chinese people now own their own homes, ... Practically zero a decade before. 
> 
> Up to 
> Up from 
> Down to 
> Down from

Answer 17

There is an increse (from zero to 40%), so the number is “up” (not “down”). The starting point was “practically zero”, so it’s “up from” preactically zero. “To” would refer to the destination, or final point: “up to 40%”

Question 18

> 21- the CFO was forced to resign in 2006. So … The chief operating officer who had been recruited from google.Has
Was

Answer 18

> In a parallel construction such as this, you must keep the same auxiliary as in the first sentence. “The CFO was forced”, so we say “so was the…”. If the sentence started “The CFO has been forced to resign”, “so has…” would be correct.

Question 19

22- the representative from N-Y was not present and ... Was the one from Berlin. 
> 
> Either 
> So 
> Neither

Answer 19

“So” is used in a positive sentence like this, “neither” in a negative one. Thus:

“The NY representative was present and so was the Berlin one”.

“Either” means “soit”. Example: “either you clear up your room or you go to bed!”

Question 20

Mr Green read as much as he … On the subject of team building.
>
> Can
> Could

Answer 20

“Can” is the present, so is not possible. We’re talking about an action in the past: “read” is the past simple. “Could” is the past of “can”.

Question 21

> 13- Monopoly is a popular parlour game,… Are unclear to meWhich rules
The rules of which

Answer 21

English grammar is the same as French here. “Monopoly est un jeu, les règles duquel ne me sont pas claires”. Answer B is correct.

“Monopoly est un jeu qui les règles ne sont pas claires” ne veut rien dire. Answer A is incorrect for the same reason.

“Monopoly est un jeu dont les règles ne me sont pas claires” is correct, as is “Monopoly is a game whose rules are unclear to me”.

Question 22

> 14- … Member of the EU, France is part of the world’s largest trading blocAs
As a

Answer 22

“En tant que membre” = “As a member”. In English, a countable noun in the singular must be preceded by an article (or determiner, quantifier etc)

Question 23

> 16- The Cherokee Indians,... West on the Trail of Tears in the 19th century, were originally from the Appalachian Mountains. 
> 
> Forcing 
> Had forced 
> Being forced

Answer 23

A form of the passive is needed. The Indians were not doing the forcing, they were being forced.
