Answer 1

1. Benson will drive you home unless it is too late.
Бенсон отвезет тебя домой, если не будет слишком поздно

(после unless (если не) не используют отрицания (уходят варианты c)d)) и так как это придаточное предложение условия, то в нем нельзя использовать будущее время (уходит вариант b)). Остается вариант а)

2. Although Sam tried hard, he  couldn’t  get to the station on time.

Хотя Сэм очень старался, он не смог (couldn’t ) добраться до станции вовремя 

Требуется прошедшее время глагола can в отрицательной форме. Вариант d)

3. There’s nothing like travel by air. It’s far  quicker than any other method.

Путешествие самолетом ни на что не похоже. Это намного быстрее, чем любой другой способ

Требуется сравнительная степень прилагательного, так как есть слово than – «чем» . Вариант а)

4. How long  do I have to wait? - 10 minutes.

Сколько я должент ждать? – 10 минут

How many используется с исчисляемыми cущ – их здесь нет, How much с неисчисляемыми. Здесь существительных вообще нет. Значит, выбираем how long – как долго. Вариант с) 

5. The police caught him, didn’t they? I’m not sure.

Полиция поймала его, не так ли? – я не уверен

«Xвостик» в разделительных вопросах имеет частицу not, если главная часть утвердительная. Начинается "хвостик" со вспомогательного глагола. Вариант b)

6. The bus had left  before I reached the bus station.

Автобус ушел со станции до того, как я туда добрался

Классический пример Past Perfect. Сначала ушел автобус (Past Perfect), а потом пришел я (Past Simple) . Вариант d)

7. While Jack was repairing the car, he hurt his finger.

Когда Джек чинил машину, он поранил палец

Два параллельных длительных действия.  Оба в Past Continuous. Вариант d)

8. Are they up? No, they are sleeping

Они встали? Нет, они еще спят (действие происходит сейчас, Present Continuous). Вариант с)

9. They are interested in music and often buy new CDs.

Они интересуются музыкой и часто покупают новые диски (часто покупают – Present Simple). Вариант а)

10. My elder brother worked for that company some years ago.

Мой старший брат работал на эту компанию несколько лет назад
(слово ago – Past Simple). Вариант а)

Answer 2

1. Benson will drive you home unless it isn't too late. (c) isn't Explanation: The sentence is a conditional sentence indicating that Benson will drive you home if it is not too late. The correct option is (c) isn't, which makes the sentence grammatically correct.

2. Although Sam tried hard, he couldn't get to the station on time. (d) couldn't Explanation: The sentence describes Sam's effort to get to the station on time but ultimately failing to do so. The correct option is (d) couldn't, indicating his inability to reach the station on time.

3. There’s nothing like travel by air. It’s far quicker than any other method. (c) quickest Explanation: The sentence compares travel by air with other methods and states that it is the fastest (quickest) among them. The correct option is (c) quickest.

4. How long do I have to wait? 10 minutes. (c) How long Explanation: The question is asking about the duration of the wait, so the correct option is (c) How long.

5. The police caught him, didn’t they? (d) did they Explanation: The sentence is a tag question seeking confirmation of the previous statement. Since the statement is positive ("The police caught him"), the tag question should be negative. The correct option is (d) did they.

6. The bus had left before I reached the bus station. (d) had left Explanation: The sentence talks about an action that happened before another past action.
