Television pictures are slowly beginning to show how great the damage is in Haiti following the huge earthquake on Tuesday. A magnitude 7.3 quake, just 16km from the capital, hit the Caribbean nation as people were going home after work. Much of the country has been devastated. Many major buildings in the capital Port-au-Prince have collapsed, including the Presidential Palace and the UN headquarters. Haiti's President Rene Preval described the scene in the capital as "unimaginable". The Red Cross says up to 3 million people have been affected. Mr. Preval fears "well over 100,000 people" may have died. Haiti's ambassador to the USA, Raymond Joseph, said there was "no way of estimating" надо умоляю :(

I. Choose the correct answer

1. Alex is the best player on the team. (Explanation: "Best" is the superlative form of the adjective "good," which is used to compare multiple things. In this sentence, we are comparing Alex to other players on the team and stating that he is the best.)

2. Do you work on Saturdays, Mark? (Explanation: "Do you work" is the correct question formation for asking about someone's regular schedule. "Are you working" implies that someone is currently in the middle of working, which may not be the case here.)

3. He’s got an exciting new Japanese video game. (Explanation: Adjectives in English usually have a specific order when used together. The correct order is: opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose. In this sentence, the correct order would be "exciting new Japanese.")

4. Kanat was able to speak three languages by the time he was seven. (Explanation: "Was able to" is the correct past tense form to indicate an ability in the past.)

5. Have you eaten all the food? (Explanation: In this sentence, we are asking about past actions that have an effect on the present. Therefore, the correct form is "eaten," which is the past participle of the verb "eat.")

6. Saule has lived here since 1999. (Explanation: "Since" is used to indicate the starting point of a continuous action that is still happening in the present. "For" is used to indicate the duration of a continuous action. In this case, Saule started living there in 1999 and is still living there, so "since" is the correct choice.)

7. Be careful or you will fall. (Explanation: This is a warning or a prediction about a future event, so we use "will + base form of verb" to express this.)

8. I’m fed up! Will you stop making that noise? (Explanation: In this sentence, the speaker is expressing frustration and asking for the noise to stop. Therefore, "will you stop" is the correct choice.)

9. The Golden Globe awards ceremony was held last week. (Explanation: In this sentence, we are talking about a past event, so the past simple form "was held" is the correct choice.)

10. The old Globe Theatre was destroyed by a fire in 1613. (Explanation: In this sentence, we are talking about a past event, so the past simple form "was destroyed" is the correct choice.)

11. Taekwondo helps improve strength and balance. (Explanation: In this sentence, we are talking about the positive effects of Taekwondo, so "improve" is the appropriate verb to use.)

12. Mobile phones and the Internet help people communicate with each other easily. (Explanation: In this sentence, we are talking about the purpose of mobile phones and the Internet, which is to facilitate communication between people. Therefore, "communicate" is the correct verb.)

13. My sister and I surf the Net every day. (Explanation: In this sentence, we are talking about the activity of browsing the Internet, so "surf" is the appropriate verb.)

14. Please take off your shoes before you come inside. (Explanation: In this sentence, we are asking someone to remove their shoes, so "take off" is the correct phrase to use.)

15. The airline lost my luggage so I had to buy new clothes. (Explanation: In this sentence, we are talking about the airline misplacing someone's luggage, so "lost" is the correct choice.)

16. The beautiful scenery took my breath away. (Explanation: In this sentence, we are expressing the overwhelming beauty of the scenery, so "took" is used metaphorically to describe the impact it had on the speaker.)

17. The film has got brilliant special effects. (Explanation: In this sentence, we are complimenting the quality of the special effects in the film, so "brilliant" is the appropriate adjective.)

18. With its gripping plot, the film is going to be a success. (Explanation: In this sentence, we are describing the plot of the film as captivating or engrossing, so "gripping" is the correct adjective.)

19. There is a range of music in the film. It ranges from classical to electronic. (Explanation: In this sentence, we are describing the variety of music in the film, which includes both classical and electronic genres. Therefore, "ranges from" is the correct phrase.")

20. The strong winds swept away everything as they passed through the town. (Explanation: In this sentence, we are talking about the forceful movement of the winds causing everything to be taken away, so "swept" is the correct verb.)
