Answer 1

1) a lot
потому что нельзя использовать more с простыми прилагательными, the - артикль для превосходной степени, а as используется, когда хотят показать сходство.
2) will have been working
потому что это Future Perfect Continuous, используется, чтобы показать, что действие началось и продолжалось в течение некоторого времени до определенного момента в будущем

Answer 2

1. The books at this bookshop are ... cheaper than the other bookshops: 3) more.

I chose option 3) "more" because the sentence is comparing the price of books at a specific bookshop with the price of books at other bookshops. When making comparisons with adjectives of two syllables or more, we generally use "more" + adjective. For example, "more expensive," "more beautiful," "more interesting." Therefore, the correct answer is "more" cheaper.

2. At the end of this month, she ... at the post office for ten years: 4) will have been working.

I chose option 4) "will have been working" because the sentence describes an action that started in the past and will continue until a specific point in the future. The future perfect continuous tense is used to express this idea. The correct form of the future perfect continuous tense is "will have been + present participle (working)." So, the correct answer is "will have been working at the post office for ten years."
