Answer 1

1. will have finished
2. improvement

Answer 2

1. Hopefully, we will have finished the project by the end of May.

Explanation: In this sentence, the phrase "by the end of May" indicates a point in the future, and the use of "will have finished" suggests that the action of finishing the project will be completed before that specified time.

2. There has been a marked improvement in David’s work.

Explanation: "Improvement" is the most appropriate choice here. It indicates a positive change or progress in David's work. The other options do not convey the sense of positive development in this context:

- "Reduction" implies a decrease or decline, which is the opposite of what the sentence is expressing. - "Arrangement" refers to the organization or placement of things and does not fit the context of someone's work. - "Production" typically refers to the process of manufacturing or creating something and doesn't convey the improvement in David's work.
