Question 1 |
I can't afford a new pair of shoes, _____ alone a fur coat.
A | all |
B | even |
C | except |
D | let |
Question 1 Explanation:
Let alone means 'and certainly not'. It comes after a negative idea to add something even less likely: I can't afford shoes, let alone a fur coat. Not even, because even alone is not an English phrase.
Question 2 |
There is a good _____ of cardigans in that store.
A | offering |
B | presentation |
C | production |
D | selection |
Question 2 Explanation:
A selection is a group of things you can choose from. A good selection of cardigans means the shop has many different cardigans. Not offering, because we don't say a good offering of for goods in a shop.
Question 3 |
These trousers are too _____; I'll have to get a bigger pair.
A | close |
B | loose |
C | narrow |
D | tight |
Question 3 Explanation:
Clothes that are too small for your body are tight. The clue is a bigger pair. Not loose, because loose trousers are too big, so you would need a smaller pair.
Question 4 |
I'm afraid none of our material will exactly _____ the colour of your sample.
A | equal |
B | fit |
C | imitate |
D | match |
Question 4 Explanation:
When two colours are the same or look good together, one matches the other: This fabric matches the colour of your sample. Not fit, because fit is about size and shape, not colour.
Question 5 |
The cost of the material is _____ in the bill for the work.
A | combined |
B | enclosed |
C | held |
D | included |
Question 5 Explanation:
Included in means it is part of the total. Here the price of the material is part of the bill, so you don't pay for it separately. Not enclosed, because enclosed means put inside an envelope with a letter.
Question 6 |
Karen is very _____; she is always buying clothes she cannot really afford.
A | exorbitant |
B | expensive |
C | extravagant |
D | extrovert |
Question 6 Explanation:
An extravagant person spends too much money, often on things they don't need. The clue is buying clothes she cannot really afford. Not expensive, because things are expensive, not people. Exorbitant describes prices that are much too high.
Question 7 |
I wanted to buy you a dress when I was in England, but I didn't know your _____.
A | cut |
B | measure |
C | size |
D | waist |
Question 7 Explanation:
Your size is the number or letter that shows how big your clothes must be, for example size 12 or medium. Not waist, because the waist is only one part of the body, not the size of a dress.
Question 8 |
This scarf is available in a wide _____ of colours.
A | line |
B | range |
C | spread |
D | scale |
Question 8 Explanation:
A wide range of is a fixed phrase that means many different kinds: a wide range of colours. Not line, because a line in a shop is one type of product, and we don't say a wide line of colours.
Question 9 |
A tailor _____ you for a new suit.
A | examines |
B | measures |
C | metres |
D | sizes |
Question 9 Explanation:
A tailor measures you, which means he finds out the size of your body with a tape measure, so the suit will fit. Not sizes, because size is not normally used as a verb for people.
Question 10 |
All these sweaters are _____ by the local people on a small Scottish island.
A | founded |
B | knitting |
C | made |
D | built |
Question 10 Explanation:
This is a passive sentence (are + past participle), and made by tells us who produced the sweaters: They are made by local people. Not knitting, because after are ... by we need a past participle, not an -ing form. Not founded or built, because we found organisations and build houses, not clothes.
