Answer 2

16. Choose the correct variant for the sentence "My little brother ____ a ticket before we went to the cinema."

The correct answer is c) has been given.

Explanation: In this sentence, we are talking about an action that happened in the past and has a connection to the present. The phrase "before we went to the cinema" indicates that the action of giving the ticket happened before the past event of going to the cinema.

The present perfect tense is used to describe an action that started in the past and has a connection to the present. The construction "has been given" is in the present perfect passive tense, indicating that the ticket was given to my little brother at some point before the past event of going to the cinema.

Option a) "is given" is in the present simple passive tense, which does not convey the past action correctly. Option b) "had been given" is in the past perfect passive tense, indicating an action that happened before another past action. Option d) "will be given" is in the future simple passive tense, indicating a future action. Option e) "would be given" is in the conditional passive tense, indicating a hypothetical action.

Therefore, the correct answer is c) has been given.

17. Choose the correct variant for the sentence "Everybody should visit Goreme, ____?"

The correct answer is e) shouldn't we.

Explanation: In this sentence, the speaker is making a suggestion or recommendation for everyone to visit Goreme. When making a suggestion or recommendation using "should," we can form a tag question to seek confirmation or agreement.

The tag question is formed by inverting the subject and the auxiliary verb. In this case, the subject is "everybody" and the auxiliary verb is "should." So, to form the tag question, we invert them to get "shouldn't everybody." Finally, we add the pronoun "we" to refer to the speaker, giving us "shouldn't we."

Option a) "should they" is incorrect because it doesn't match the subject "everybody." Option b) "should he" is incorrect because it refers to a specific person, not the speaker. Option c) "shouldn't they" is incorrect because it doesn't match the subject "everybody." Option d) "should we" is incorrect because it doesn't include the negation "shouldn't."

Therefore, the correct answer is e) shouldn't we.
