Teen Pre-Adv A Impact 4 EOC Review

The more documentaries she watches about insects and the protein they contain, _____________ she wants to eat them.

• the more

• the few

• the most

• the fewer

Answer explanation

few / fewer cannot be answer because we're focusing on how much she wants to eat insects, not how many insects she wants to eat.

If 'the less' were an option, that could have been a possible answer.

They ___________  on the plans for the new park attraction everyday this week.

• will have worked

• will be working

• will be

• will work

Answer explanation

'Will work' is a possible option but 'will be more working' because we're describing a continuous action happening in a specific time (everyday this week).

'Will have worked' is not as appropriate because we are not focus on a completed action in the future.

If we had followed the map, we ________ now. (Mixed conditional)

• would be lost

• will be there

This mixed conditional is IF + third conditional, second conditional.

'Would be lost' is grammatically correct, but does it make sense with the first clause?

Promise is an abstract action that concerns the future.

They say that by 2030, they _______ carbon emissions by 70%.

• will be reducing

• are reducing

• will have reduced

• were reducing

Answer explanation

'Will be reducing' would be more appropriate if it focused on a specific duration of time (e.g. from now until 2030).

Since we have 'by 2030' we are focused on a completed action by that time so we need future perfect.
