The underlined words express …
A. disagreement
B. satisfaction
C. obligation
D. offering
E. advice
Answer & Analysis
Correct Answer: E (advice)
Key meaning: “You should …” is commonly used to give a suggestion or recommendation. Here Ina recommends that Ines see a doctor because she has a painful stomachache.
A Incorrect. Ina is not rejecting Ines’s statement; she responds supportively.
B Incorrect. There is no expression of being pleased/satisfied.
C Incorrect. “Obligation” would be stronger with “must/have to.” “Should” is softer, mainly advice.
D Incorrect as the asked part. The underlined sentence is advice; the next sentence “I’ll accompany you” is an offer, but it is not underlined.
E Correct. It clearly gives advice.

A. proud of

Answer & Analysis

A : Last week.
The underlined sentence is used to express …
A. happiness
B. pleasure
C. surprise
D. enjoyment
E. curiosity
Answer & Analysis
Correct Answer: C (surprise)
Key meaning: “Oh, really?” is a common spontaneous reaction to unexpected information. It signals that the speaker is surprised, then follows up with a question for details.
A Incorrect. Happiness would be expressed more directly (e.g., “That’s great!”).
B Incorrect. Pleasure is not necessarily indicated.
C Correct. It is a typical surprise marker.
D Incorrect. Enjoyment refers to having fun, not reacting to news.
E Less accurate. Curiosity is shown by “When did he tell you?”, but the underlined phrase itself is primarily surprise.
Soal 24
“What a beautiful voice. She is a talented singer,”
“She … since she was a child.”
A. sang
B. sings
C. is singing
D. had been singing
E. has been singing
Answer & Analysis
Correct Answer: E (has been singing)
Grammar focus: The phrase “since she was a child” indicates an action that started in the past and continues up to the present. The best tense is present perfect continuous: “has been singing.”
A Incorrect. Simple past (“sang”) does not show continuity up to now.
B Incorrect. Simple present (“sings”) states a general habit but ignores the “since…” duration emphasis.
C Incorrect. Present continuous is for an action happening right now, not since childhood.
D Incorrect. Past perfect continuous requires a past reference point (e.g., “before 2010”), not a present evaluation.
E Correct. It matches “since” + continuing action.
Soal 25
Mary introduced me to her former lecturer … She married after she had graduated.
A. of whom
B. whose
C. of which
D. whom
E. who
Answer & Analysis
Correct Answer: E (who)
Grammar focus: We need a relative pronoun to refer to a person (“her former lecturer”) and to connect the clause that gives additional information. The most natural form is: “Mary introduced me to her former lecturer who married after she had graduated.”
A (of whom) Incorrect here. “Of whom” is used to show possession/relationship (e.g., “the lecturer, the name of whom…”), not to introduce a simple descriptive clause.
B (whose) Incorrect. “Whose” must be followed by a noun (e.g., “whose husband…”), not a verb directly.
C (of which) Incorrect. “Which” is for things, not people.
D (whom) Less appropriate. “Whom” is used as an object in the relative clause, but here the clause needs a subject (“… married …”), so “who” is required.
E (who) Correct. “Who” functions as the subject of the relative clause.
LaTeX note (required symbols): \(15 \gt 9\) and \(9 \lt 15\).
