Key: B

Analysis: The underlined idea is “very unlikely,” which means something is not expected to happen. Therefore, it is improbable for the government to improve the economic condition soon.

A. Incorrect: “agreeable” means pleasant/acceptable, not about likelihood.

B. Correct: “improbable” means unlikely.

C. Incorrect: “uncertain” means not sure, but “very unlikely” is stronger (low chance), not just unknown.

D. Incorrect: “predictable” means easy to predict, not about chance.

E. Incorrect: “beneficial” means helpful, unrelated to likelihood.

Key: E

Analysis: The causative structure “have + object + past participle” means you arrange for someone else to do something for you. So “I had it made” means Betty arranged/ordered someone to make the cake (she did not make it herself).

A. Incorrect: this means she made it herself, which contradicts “I had it made.”

B. Incorrect: present perfect “has made” is not the meaning of the causative.

C. Incorrect: “had made” would mean she made it earlier herself; the sentence indicates someone else made it.

D. Incorrect: the sentence does not specify Willy; it refers to another person in general.

E. Correct: it means she ordered/arranged someone to make it.

Key: A

Analysis: “I wish I had gone to bed earlier” expresses regret about a past action that did not happen. This implies he did not go to bed earlier; instead, he went to bed late, which caused lack of sleep.

A. Correct: regret about not going earlier implies he went late.

B. Incorrect: it contradicts the regret.

C. Incorrect: he is tired due to lack of sleep.

D. Incorrect: too much sleep does not match being tired from lack of sleep.

E. Incorrect: “wish” indicates this did not happen.

Key: C

Analysis: The sentence is a third conditional (unreal past). The correct pattern is If + past perfect, then would have + past participle. So it should be: “If I had known there was a test, I would have prepared for it well.”

A. Incorrect: simple present does not fit an unreal past condition.

B. Incorrect: simple past is for second conditional (present/future unreal), not past unreal with “would have prepared.”

C. Correct: past perfect matches “would have prepared.”

D. Incorrect: “have known” is not used in the if-clause for third conditional.

E. Incorrect: does not match the conditional structure.

Key: E

Analysis: Brenda talks about a busy road and fast vehicles, which creates danger when crossing. The most relevant warning/advice is to be careful when crossing the road.

A. Less specific: “Mind your step” is general, often for uneven ground, not specifically traffic danger.

B. Incorrect: pickpockets relate to theft, not traffic.

C. Incorrect/awkward: you “watch out for” vehicles, not “take care of the vehicles.”

D. Too general: does not directly address the traffic situation.

E. Correct: it directly responds to the danger described (busy road, fast vehicles).
