Check the odd word/phrase out in the group (not matching to the rest).
- A.
Money-back guarantee
- B.
Out of stock
- C.
Loyalty-card scheme
- D.
Interest-free credit
Correct Answer
B. Out of stockExplanation
The phrase "out of stock" is the odd word out in the group because it does not describe a benefit or offer provided to customers like the other phrases do. "Money-back guarantee" assures customers that they can get a refund if they are not satisfied, "loyalty-card scheme" offers rewards for repeat purchases, and "interest-free credit" allows customers to make purchases without paying interest. However, "out of stock" simply indicates that a product is not currently available, which is not a benefit or offer.Rate this question:

Read these tennis-court rules, then tick the true sentence in each pair below.
- A.
You don't have to play music.
- B.
You mustn't play music.
Correct Answer
B. You mustn't play music.Explanation
The correct answer is "You mustn't play music." This is because the phrase "mustn't" indicates a prohibition or a rule that states that playing music is not allowed on the tennis court. On the other hand, the phrase "don't have to" implies that playing music is optional or not required, which is not the case according to the given rules. Therefore, the sentence "You mustn't play music" accurately represents the rule mentioned in the passage.Rate this question:

Read these tennis-court rules, then tick the true sentence in each pair below.
- A.
You must be 12 or older to enter.
- B.
If you're 12 years old, you mustn't enter.
Correct Answer
A. You must be 12 or older to enter.Explanation
The correct answer is "You must be 12 or older to enter." This sentence accurately reflects the rule stated in the passage, which states that individuals must be at least 12 years old in order to enter the tennis court. The second sentence, "If you're 12 years old, you mustn't enter," is incorrect because it contradicts the rule by suggesting that individuals who are 12 years old are not allowed to enter.Rate this question:

Complete the negotiation expression. I'm sorry, we can't agree ________ that.
Correct Answer
toExplanation
The correct answer is "to". In a negotiation, when someone says "I'm sorry, we can't agree to that," it means that they are refusing to accept or agree with the proposal or suggestion that has been made. By using the word "to" after "agree," it completes the expression and indicates that the speaker is unable to come to an agreement on the matter at hand.Rate this question:
