                                                        Education
1. Education has as one of its fundamental aspects the imparting of culture from generation to generation. It is an application of pedagogy, a body of theoretical and applied research relating to teaching and learning and draws on many disciplines such as psychology, philosophy, computer science, linguistics, neuroscience, sociology and anthropology.
2. The education of an individual human begins at birth and continues throughout life. Some believe that education begins even before birth, as evidenced by some parents' playing music or reading to the baby in the womb in the hope it will influence the child's development.
3. For some, the struggles and triumphs of daily life provide far more instruction than does formal schooling (thus Mark Twain's admonition to "never let school interfere with your education"). Family members may have a profound educational effect – often more profound than they realize – though family teaching may function very informally.

Решение:
Для того чтобы правильно выполнить это задание, следует знать категорию множественного числа имени существительного, уметь использовать ее в заданном контексте и перевести варианты ответов:

are – мн. ч., Present Simple, при переводе опускается;
won’t be – отрицание в Future Simple;
don’t – отрицание в Present Simple.
Выражение thirty degrees согласуется с глаголом в единственном числе, так как обозначает единое целое – температуру (подобные случаи: three years (period of time), six miles (a distance), twenty thousand pounds (a sum of money)). Поэтому правильным вариантом ответа является is: «Я не люблю очень жаркую погоду. Тридцать градусов – слишком жарко для меня».
