употребляется перед существительными), affordable – доступный,
по средствам, impossible – невозможный, sensitive – чувствительный. С учетом контекста выбираем affordable (affordable options –
доступные варианты).
3 b – Глаголы propose и suggest означают «предлагать (план,
идею)» и являются синонимами, следовательно, ни один из них
не может быть правильным ответом. Глагол supply «снабжать (чемто необходимым)», arrange «организовывать, договариваться».
Правильный ответ – глагол offer «предлагать, предоставлять (помощь, возможность и т.п.)», т.к. в предложении речь идет о преимуществах, которые предоставляет дистанционное обучение.
4 с – Подбираем глагол к слову time. Не подходят глаголы: fit
(подходить по размеру) и match (подходить по цвету). Глагол come
(приходить) является непереходным и не сочетается с прямым
дополнением (you). Словосочетание a time that needs you означает
«время, которое нуждается в тебе». Правильным является глагол
suit (соответствовать требованиям) (a time that suits you – время, ко-
торое подходит тебе).
5 d – Видим в предложении структуру «глагол + you + при-
лагательное». Исключаем заведомо неверные ответы. Глаголы stay
и remain (оставаться) являются непереходными и не сочетаются
с прямым дополнением (you); глагол do (в отличие от make), не
употребляется в подобной структуре; глагол hold означает «держать (в руке), удерживать (в каком-то положении, месте)». Нам
подходит глагол keep, являющийся частью устойчивого выражения keep sb busy (занимать чье-л. время).
6 e – При выборе ответа обратим внимание, что глаголы listen,
come и go требуют после себя предлога to, поэтому нам не подходят. Выбираем между глаголами visit «посещать (врача, сайт, город)» и attend «посещать (мероприятие, учебное заведение)». Очевидный ответ – attend (attend lectures – посещать лекции).
7 e – Предлог of, который стоит после пропуска, может соче-
таться только с because и instead. Because of (из-за) не подходит по
смыслу. Правильный ответ – instead of (вместо).
8 а – В данном предложении идет речь о том, что компьютер
не заменит человеческое общение. Глаголы change и compensate
подходят по смыслу, но не сочетаются с предлогом up. Из предложенных вариантов ответа указанному значению соответствует
лишь фразовый глагол make up for «компенсировать».
9 с – Переводим предложение: обучение не может ожидать
(expect), просить (request) или хотеть (want) дисциплины, оно тре-
251
бует дисциплины. Значение «требовать» есть у глаголов require и
call for. Выбираем require, т.к. предлог for отсутствует.
10 a – Сразу исключаем из возможных вариантов глаголы doubt
и wonder, т.к. они не сочетаются с инфинитивом (to hire). Прилагательное afraid (боящийся) может быть частью сказуемого только
при наличии глагола-связки, например, be (they are afraid to hire).
Глагол scare (пугать) должен быть в пассивной форме, чтобы сочетаться с инфинитивом (they are scared to hire). Таким образом,
остается глагол hesitate (колебаться, не решаться).
