Here’s the translation with the numerical and financial data converted as requested: 2) Hackers TEPS Grammar Part I: Choose the best answer for the blank. 1. A: It seems Francis has decided to quit the team. B: I don’t think there’s __________ to change his mind. (a) to him anything we can say (b) anything to him we can say (c) him we can say anything to (d) anything we can say to him Explanation: The correct answer is (d) anything we can say to him. After “there’s,” we need a real subject. The verb “say” requires “to + person,” so this option fits best. 2. A: Who among your athletes _____ the fastest 400-meter runner? B: It’s Liz. Her time of 46 seconds is the best in the team’s history. (a) have been (b) was (c) are (d) is Explanation: The correct answer is (d) is. The subject is singular, and we’re talking about a current fact, so the present tense is appropriate. Part II: Choose the best answer for the blank. 3. A survey found that citizens of most countries are ___ about the possibility of too few tourists than the possibility of too many tourists. (a) as worried (b) most worried (c) as far as worried (d) far more worried Explanation: The correct answer is (d) far more worried. This comparative form best expresses the greater concern about too few tourists compared to too many. 4. Albert Einstein remains influential to this day for _____ what many believe is one of the most ingenious scientific concepts, relativity. (a) deduced (b) deduce (c) being deduced (d) having deduced Explanation: The correct answer is (d) having deduced. This perfect gerund form indicates that Einstein’s deduction of relativity occurred before his ongoing influence. Part III: Identify the option that contains an awkward expression or an error in grammar. 5. (a) A: Can I walk from the hotel to Joey’s Restaurant? (b) B: No, it’s quite far. You had to take either a cab or the bus. (c) A: Which option do you think would be better? (d) B: Well, if you’re on a budget, I’d recommend the bus. Explanation: The error is in (b). The correct sentence should be: “No, it’s quite far. You have to take either a cab or the bus.” The present tense is needed to express a general fact.
Answer
(d) / (d) / (d) / (d) / (b)
