Pregunta 4 Complete the sentence with an appropriate ending
Finalizado

Puntúa 1 sobre 1

Seleccione una:
A. My parents love me.
B. I’m going to be responsible.
C. I’d rent a flat in the center of town.
D. I will buy a house.

According to the second conditional rules, the “if” clause goes with a past simple tense phrase, whereas the
consequence phrase has a would/wouldn’t phrase. In addition, the idea of living alone involves either
buying or renting a place to live. This sentence is, then, grammatically and meaningfully correct.

passive formula.

Pregunta 12 According to the following text
Finalizado
The western alphabet, which is used in Europe, the Americas, Africa, Australia and New Zealand as well as
Puntúa 0 sobre 1
in other countries, originated in the middle east. The people who gave the world this alphabet were the
Phoneacians, a people who established colonies all over the Mediterranean, including Carthage in Africa
and Gades in Spain. In their alphabet, the letters were represented by little pictures which represented
sounds. The Phoneacian A was aelph, which means "bull". and it was made from a little picture of a bull's
head. The letter B was beth which meant "house", and showed the round-roofed buildings which you can
still see today in Syria.

The Phoneacians had contact with another nation of sailors, the Greeks, with whom they fought and traded.
The Greeks also started to use the Phoneacian alphabet. They changed the names so aelph and beth
became alpha and beta. The shapes of the letters are the same but they have been turned sideways. If you
know any Greek, you can try turning the letters around again, and see how they look. You will see that the
curve on the right of the Greek A becomes the horns of a little bull.

Of course, the first two letters of the alphabet give it its name. Over the years there have been changes.
Latin developed an alphabet with some different letters to the Greeks, and other letters have been added
since. But really westerners are using the same system of writing which has served them so well for
thousands of years.

Seleccione una:
A. the name of the alphabet was given after the last letters of it.
B. Latin used exactly the same letters as Greek.
C. the current alphabet was created by the Greeks.
D. westerns have been using the same alphabet for years.

In the last paragraph the author says that westerns are using the same system of writing that has been
used for thousand of years.

Finalizado The twenty-four year old man is becoming famous for the fact that he doesn’t look like the owner of one of
Puntúa 0 sobre 1 the world’s most successful computer companies. His manner is polite, his voice is quiet and his clothes are

voice saying that he’s the new boss.

Puntúa 1 sobre 1 MAKING DRUGS SAFER

France and Britain have aggressive programs to get hospitals to report adverse drug reactions, says Dr.
Jerome Groopman, a top medical researcher. By contrast our FDA waits for doctors to report bad reactions.
Groopman is especially disturbed that 75% of the drugs given to children lack verified safety and dosage
instructions for kids. “No one collected this data, so sometimes pediatricians fly blind, forced to guess the
best dose.” He notes.

A synonym of the word in bold ´researcher” is

Seleccione una:
A. physician.
B. investigator.
C. doctor.
D. scientist.

Investigator is the best answer, because the person who investigates does research.
