			more serious
			serious
			less seriously
			seriously

 

Решение:
Для того чтобы правильно выполнить это задание, следует знать степени сравнения прилагательных и наречий и перевести варианты ответов:
more serious – серьезнее (сравнительная степень прилагательного);
serious – серьезный (положительная степень прилагательного);
less seriously – менее серьезно (сравнительная степень наречия);
seriously – серьезно (положительная степень наречия).
Согласно контексту, только вариант ответа more serious является правильным, поскольку в данном случае употреблена конструкция сравнения прилагательных, в которой после неопределенного местоимения any (в значении «немного») употребляется прилагательное в сравнительной степени (more serious): «Если проблема станет немного серьезнее, возможно нам нужно будет поставить в известность менеджера».

 

  ЗАДАНИЕ N 9
Тема: Страдательный залог
Even if you make too many mistakes, you _______ a chance to correct them all.

			will be given
			will be giving
			will give
			give

 

Решение:
Чтобы правильно выполнить задание, следует знать видовременные и залоговые формы глагола-сказуемого:
will be given – Future Simple, Passive;
will be giving – Future Continuous, Active;
will give – Future Simple, Active;
give – Present Simple, Active.
В данном предложении глагол give следует употребить в страдательном залоге во времени Future Simple (будущем простом).
Страдательный залог указывает на то, что действие выполняет не сам предмет, он испытывает на себе действие, направленное на него со стороны. Один из случаев употребления страдательного залога – когда важность, значимость имеет само действие, а не его исполнитель; исполнитель действия в этом случае не указывается.
Время Future Simple (будущее простое) употребляется для выражения  действия,  которое произойдет в будущем.
Согласно контексту и правилу грамматики, только вариант ответа will be given является правильным: «Даже если ты сделаешь слишком много ошибок, тебе дадут возможность исправить все».

Решение:
Для успешного выполнения данного задания необходимо иметь общие знания о правилах речевого этикета в ситуациях учебно-социальной сферы общения, следует анализировать и выбирать правильный вариант ответа из предложенных.
Учебно-социальная сфера коммуникации включает ситуации, реализуемые в образовательной среде, например в средних и высших учебных заведениях, и предполагает преимущественно формально-деловой стиль общения, для которого характерно формальное обращение (без имени), клишированность языковых средств; при этом отношение, выражаемое собеседниками друг к другу, уважительно, но лишено излишних эмоций — нейтрально. Такое общение всегда направлено на достижение какой-то предметной договоренности.
В приведенном диалоге правильным ответом является:
Student A.: «I’m hurrying to my teacher to discuss my written work» («Я спешу к преподавателю, чтобы обсудить мою письменную работу»).
Student B.: «I wish you good luck!» («Желаю удачи!»).
Остальные реплики либо не соответствуют ситуации общения, либо являются неуместными в данной ситуации.

Demand
1. One of the most important building blocks of economic analysis is the concept of demand. When economists refer to demand, they usually have in mind not just a single quantity demanded, but what is called a demand curve. A demand curve traces the quantity of a good or service that is demanded at successively different prices.
2. The most famous law in economics, and the one that economists are most sure of, is the law of demand. On this law is built almost the whole edifice of economics. The law of demand states that when the price of a good rises, the amount demanded falls, and when the price falls, the amount demanded rises.
3. It is not just price that affects the quantity demanded. Income affects it too. As real income rises, people buy more of some goods (which economists call normal goods) and less of what are called inferior goods. Urban mass transit and railroad transportation are classic examples of inferior goods. That is why the usage of both of these modes of travel declined so dramatically as postwar incomes were rising and more people could afford automobiles.

Определите основную идею текста.

			The law of demand is the basis of the edifice of economics.
			A demand curve is what economists think of when they refer to demand.
