1 will qualify: This is the correct answer. "To qualify" in this context means to advance to the next round of a competition, contest, or tournament. This is usually achieved by a successful performance in an earlier round. This sentence uses the verb "to qualify" in the same context as in the broadcast, when Enrique says "the Yomiuri Giants defeated the Hanshin Tigers to qualify for the playoffs". We use the verb in the simple future tense here, in order for the sentence to be grammatically correct. Because the second phrase is in the future tense ("we hope that she will succeed"), the first has to agree.
2 to get up to date: This is the best choice here. "To get up to date (on something)" means to inform oneself of the latest developments in a certain area. In this example, the speaker wants to learn what has been happening in the world of fashion. This is the same meaning of the phrase as we hear in the broadcast, when Moira says "let's take a few minutes to get up to date on sports".
3 shocked: This is the best choice here. "To shock" means "to surprise", "to amaze", "to horrify", or "to astound". Here, we are told about a person whose clothes surprised or horrified people at a party. This use of the term "to shock" in this sentence is similar to Enrique's use of the term ("Terrance Cashman shocked the world by shooting three under par"). The verb "to shock" is a single, completed action, and requires the simple past tense. The verbs in the first and second sentences must agree in tense.
Exercice 3
"...some of you are not up-to-date on the hiring policy"
Luna's sentence could be rephrased: "some of you are not the policy here"
Luna's sentence could be rephrased: "some of you are not the policy here"
"...some of you are not up-to-date on the hiring policy"
Luna's sentence could be rephrased: "some of you are not aware of 1 the employment 2 policy here"
Luna's sentence could be rephrased: "some of you are not aware of 1 the employment 2 policy here"
1 aware of: This is the correct choice. To be "up-to-date (on current events) is to know about or understand current events. Example: "I'm not up-to-date on the situation in the Middle East. What has happened there recently?". Similarly, an "up-to-date computer" is one which is new or current. "To be aware of a situation" and to be 'up-to-date" share a close meaning in this context.
1 in agreement with: This isn't the best choice. To "be in agreement with (someone) is to share someone's opinion, or to think the same way about something. To be 'up-to-date (on a situation)" is unrelated.
1 adhering to: This isn't the best choice. To "adhere to (a rule)" is to follow or obey it, which doesn't mean the same thing as to be "up-to-date".
2 employment: This is the right answer. "Hiring" and "employment" both refer to the practice of giving people jobs. Example: "Luna DeLune is the HR Director, and deals with hiring new employees to the company".
2 termination: This is incorrect. "Firing" refers to terminating someone's employment, perhaps due to incompetence or repeated mistakes. "Firing" and "hiring" have opposite meanings.
2 compensation: This is incorrect. "Compensation" refers to payment in a business context. This idea is unrelated to the "hiring policy" which Luna is referring to.
