And please say WHY

[Essam ABDOU]

1- He could get control over the problem. This means he could...... it
a.conquer b.capture c.defeat d.beat
conquer = get over sth

2-Have you spent.....all money I lent you last week.
a.the b.no article c.a d.an
We cannot put THE before ALL; we also cannot put neither A nor An as money is uncountable.

3-Can you pass me.....sugar, please?
a.the b.no article c.a d.an
The sugar is a specific thing here (the one on the table)

4-The boy was.....with a straw.
a.tied b.chained c.joined d.rescued
The whole sentence doesn`t give a complete meaning especially with the indefinite article "A" put before STRAW. Without A, it should be TIED.

5-We should know the main.....of pollution.
a.cause b.reason c.goal d.purpose
OF is used after CAUSE and it is the word that completes the meaning

6-On the island, the boys will.....groups to search for food.
a.do b.make c.divide d.organise
According to the Hello Book, "ORGANISE" is the right answer. But I think MAKE would give a correct meaning, too. Divide should be followed by INTO in this sense. We cannot DO groups.

7-Older people can pass....their experiences and knowledge to younger ones.
a.to b.of c.out d.on
Old generations pass on knowledge to younger generations

Find the mistake:

1-A businessman manager decides on the price of a magazine.

2-The smallest room in our house is the kitchen.

3-We were in a very tight corner. Escape looked impossible.

4-I dislike modern music most. This is the best meaning I tried to find

5-More people live in cities than in the country.

6-Reham is the eldest of the three girls.

7-Wear old clothes when you are painting. This is the best meaning I tried to find
Best Regards

It`s an honour to be friends with you

ما الفرق بين historical --- historic

In Hello SB page 93, you will find this sentence
There are thousands of ……………. (history) sites all over Egypt. Correct the word between brackets

The answer in Hello TB Page 264 is
historic/historical
Then the author adds saying:
These words are often used interchangeably and dictionaries vary on their usage.

Last year, may be in August, I posted a comment on Longman Official Site under the same question. They disagreed with my definitions. But it is worth reading the whole thing.
Here it is

http://www.longmansec.com.eg/QuestAns.aspx?QA_ID=93
and another one as well
http://www.longmansec.com.eg/QuestAns.aspx?QA_ID=349

The writer`s answer was based originally on Hello!7 (The old Book), before the New Book was officially published.

The confusion goes on with other pairs such as:
classic / classical
magic / magical
electric / electrical

None of the above

Notice that I`ve corrected it by adding IT at the end of the sentence.

Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English defines conquer as follows:
(v.) to gain control over something that is difficult, using a lot of effort
These words were part of the sentence

I gave the student the simple meaning get over something

Which one do you think is right?
