Vraag hoe lang de overtocht duurt.
Correct Answer
B. How long does the crossing take?
Explanation
The correct answer is "How long does the crossing take?" This is because the verb "take" is used in the correct form for the question. The other options either use the incorrect verb tense ("takes" and "taking") or use the incorrect word order ("How long takes the crossing?").

Zeg dat dit de eerste keer is dat je hier bent.
Correct Answer
D. This is the first time I have been here.
Explanation
The correct answer is "This is the first time I have been here." This is because the phrase "have been" is used to indicate an action that started in the past and is still ongoing in the present. In this context, it implies that the speaker is currently at the location for the first time. The other options ("I've been," "I came," "I was," "we have been") do not convey the same sense of ongoing action in the present.
4.
Vraag of ze het minimumloon betalen.
Correct Answer
C. Do they pay minimum wages?
Explanation
The correct answer is "Do they pay minimum wages?" because the question is asking if the company pays the minimum wage, which is a standard wage set by law. The use of the plural form "wages" indicates that the question is asking about the overall payment to employees, rather than a specific wage rate.

Zeg dat je een hekel hebt aan kranten bezorgen om vijf uur 's ochtends.
Correct Answer
C. I hate delivering newspapers at five in the morning.
Explanation
The correct answer is "I hate delivering newspapers at five in the morning" because it accurately translates the Dutch sentence "Zeg dat je een hekel hebt aan kranten bezorgen om vijf uur 's ochtends." The word "delivering" accurately conveys the action of bringing newspapers to people's homes, which is the job of a newspaper delivery person. The other options ("taking," "bringing," and "giving") do not accurately capture the action of delivering newspapers.

Zeg: Ik zie je nog wel.
Correct Answer
D. I'll see you.

The phrase "I'll see you" is the most accurate translation of this meaning. The other options ("I may see you," "I can see you," "I am going to see you") do not convey the same sense of expectation or future meeting.
