Analysis: Ani’s sentence (“you look so busy”) functions as a comment/observation that can also sound like a mild compliment about being active. Ali responds by explaining his reason: “I just want to spend my time as I think best.” The most natural opener is “Thank you,” acknowledging the remark before giving an explanation.

A. “Sorry” is used to apologize. Nothing in the context shows Ali did something wrong that requires an apology.

B. Correct. “Thank you” fits as a polite response to a personal remark, then followed by an explanation.

C. “Not at all” is commonly used to respond to thanks or to deny a problem; it does not match Ani’s remark.

D. “It’s a pity” expresses regret/sympathy and does not logically connect to Ali’s intention to manage his time.

E. “You are welcome” is a response to “Thank you,” but Ani did not thank Ali.

Key: D

Analysis: Nany is asking whether the shoes will be repaired/handled or should be thrown away. The blank should express possibility about getting the shoes fixed. “Is it possible” fits the intended meaning: “Are you going to have these shoes (repaired), or should I throw them away?” Bossy’s reply confirms the plan to fix them (cobbler), which supports a “possibility/plan” meaning.

A. “Is it okay” asks for permission/approval, but the context is about what will happen to the shoes, not whether an action is acceptable.

B. “Are you sure” expresses doubt about a decision, but Nany is presenting two alternatives, not doubting Bossy’s statement.

C. “Are you proud” is unrelated to shoes and repair.

D. Correct. “Is it possible” matches the idea of whether the shoes can/should be fixed, which is confirmed by taking them to a cobbler.

E. “It doesn’t matter” would mean the choice is unimportant, but Bossy’s reply shows it does matter (they will be repaired).

Language note: In the original printed item, the most natural missing word is usually “repaired” (or “fixed”). The options, however, force a “possibility” expression; among them, D is the closest to the intended meaning.

Key: E

Analysis: “Might have been sick” is a modal perfect structure (might + have + past participle). It expresses a possibility about a past situation. Because the classes were missed “last week,” the sickness is inferred in the past and is not certain—only probable/possible.

A. Incorrect: present meaning (“is sick”) is not supported; the time reference is last week.

B. Too definite: “was sick” states it as a fact, but “might” shows uncertainty.

C. Incorrect time: “is probably sick” refers to present.

D. Incorrect: “certainly” contradicts “might” (uncertainty).

E. Correct: past time (“was”) plus uncertainty/probability (“probably”) matches “might have been.”

Key: C

Analysis: The sentence “I wish I had time …” expresses regret about a present situation: Bagus does not have time now. This implies he cannot go on a date with Ria (at least at the moment), meaning he misses the opportunity/chance.

A. Incorrect: Lita does not promise anything; she only asks why Bagus looks sad.

B. Incorrect: there is no plan for both to visit Ria.

C. Correct: Bagus regrets not having time, implying he cannot meet/date Ria as he wants, so he loses the chance.

D. Incorrect: only Bagus mentions lacking time; nothing indicates Lita has no time.

E. Overgeneral: the dialogue only tells us about Bagus, not “neither” of them.

Answer: A

Explanation based on the dialogue:

Option A — Correct. “May I read it for a moment?” is a polite expression to ask for permission. This is supported by Nellyta’s response, “Sure. Go ahead.” which indicates giving permission.

Option B — Incorrect. “Shall we” is used to make a suggestion involving both speakers. It does not match the context because Ranti is asking permission for herself.

Option C — Incorrect. “Why don’t you” is used to give a suggestion to another person. It does not fit grammatically or contextually in this sentence.

Option D — Incorrect. “I have read it” is a statement, not a request for permission. It does not logically connect with the response “Sure. Go ahead.”

Option E — Incorrect. “Do you like it” is a question about preference. It does not match the structure of the sentence or the context of asking permission.

Key: E

Analysis: The guide replies “You’re welcome,” which is the typical response to an expression of thanks. Therefore, the tourist’s missing line must express gratitude. “I am very grateful to you” is the most direct and appropriate thank-you expression.

A. Incorrect: “Bye-bye” is a farewell, not something that triggers “You’re welcome.”

B. Incorrect: complimenting intelligence does not normally receive “You’re welcome.”

C. Possible as thanks, but less direct and slightly different nuance; the strongest match to “You’re welcome” is a clear gratitude statement.

D. Incorrect: “We have a very good time” is about enjoyment, not thanking for help.

E. Correct: an explicit gratitude statement that naturally leads to “You’re welcome.”
