Esercizio 1
she prefers whale songs, Luna consented to go to the opera.
Although she prefers whale songs, Luna consented to go to the opera.
Although: 'Although' is the correct choice here. The term introduces contrast between Luna's preference and her decision to attend the concert. Example: Although I hate rock music, I decided to attend the Nirvana concert.
In spite of: 'In spite of' is an expression which introduces contrast, but it is grammatically incorrect here. 'In spite of' must be followed by a noun, not a pronoun or a verb. We could say: 'In spite of her preference for Beethoven, Luna went to the concert'.
Regardless: 'Regardless' is a term which introduces contrast, but it is grammatically incorrect here and doesn't fit into this construction. 'Regardless' must be followed by the preposition 'of' and then a noun, not a pronoun or a verb. We could say: 'Regardless of her preference...'.
Because: 'Because' is grammatically correct, but it does not make sense to use it here. The opera doesn't feature whale songs. 'A whale' is the world's largest mammal, and is a cousin to the dolphin. Famous whales include: Moby Dick, Willy (from the Free Willy films) and Shamu.
Esercizio 2
Luna: Hey Bob! Can I ask you a favor?
Bob: Of course, Luna. it depends on the favor.
Luna: Great! Can you watch my pets I'm on vacation?
Bob: Sure. What do you have, a couple cats or something?
Luna: Well yes. Three cats -
Bob: Three! Okay, I guess that's not a big deal. As long as they don't bother me my football games on TV-
Luna: And I have thirteen goldfish, six iguanas, two chinchillas, one ferret named Steve and an ant farm.
Luna: Hey Bob! Can I ask you a favor?
Bob: Of course, Luna. Although 1 it depends on the favor.
Luna: Great! Can you watch my pets while 2 I'm on vacation?
Bob: Sure. What do you have, a couple cats or something?
Luna: Well yes. Three cats -
Bob: Three! Okay, I guess that's not a big deal. As long as they don't bother me during 3 my football games on TV-
Luna: And I have thirteen goldfish, six iguanas, two chinchillas, one ferret named Steve and an ant farm.
1 Although: 'Although' often introduces a contrasting idea or expresses a possible doubt, and is synonymous with 'but'. Bob is telling Luna that he would be happy to do her a favor, but he will not do just anything.
1 While: 'While' cannot introduce a statement such as this one. However, it can be used to introduce a contrasting idea in a different type of construction, for example: While I am always happy to chat with you Luna, I really don't have the time right now.
1 Because: 'Because' introduces a relationship of cause, which is not present in this sentence.
1 Since: 'Since' introduces a relationship of cause (or a point in time), which is not present in this sentence.
2 while: 'While' is used to introduce a simultaneous action, or a continuous action that is interrupted by another. Bob will watch Luna's pets 'during the period that' she is away on vacation.
2 during: We can't use 'during' before a verb phrase like 'I'm on vacation'. 'While' is used before verb phrases; 'during' is only used before nouns. For example: 'Bob watched Luna's pets during her vacation'.
2 meanwhile: 'Meanwhile' is usually used at the beginning of a sentence, and cannot be used to link two clauses within the same sentence. For example: 'I was on vacation. Meanwhile, Bob was watching my pets'.
2 in the meantime: 'In the meantime' is used to express simultaneous action, but usually in the short term. For example: I'm going to chop the onions. In the meantime, you set the table. In this construction, 'in the meantime' is not interchangeable with 'while'.
3 during: 'During' links an action (the cats bothering Bob) with an event (the football game on TV). 'During' almost always precedes a noun, (usually an event or period of time) in this case, 'football games'.
3 while: 'While' links two actions and not an action and an event (noun). For example: 'The cat jumped on Bob's head while he was watching football on TV'.
3 since: 'Since' does not make sense in this construction. 'Since' is used to indicate the beginning of a period of time, or to express reason or cause.
3 meanwhile: 'Meanwhile' is usually used at the beginning of a sentence, and cannot be used to link two clauses within the same sentence.

"Since I was really looking forward to watching the film..."

Choose the correct conjunction for each sentence from the list below.
unless | so that | once | since | while | whereas | although | until

Each conjunction is used only once. Not all conjunctions are used!

Susie and Brian often work together on press conferences since 1 they have good presentation skills.

The meeting won't begin until 3 Horatio has finished his whiskey.

Although 4 Philip has a bad cold, he will still go to the sales convention.

Every morning, Jean reads a French newspaper while 5 he eats his breakfast.
1 since: "Since" is similar to "because" or "as" in this sentence to express reason. Susie and Brian often work together on press conferences because they have good presentation skills. In the letter, Luna does not want to leave the store without a DVD because she was looking forward to watching a film that evening.
2 so that: "So that" shares the same meaning as "in order that" or "with the purpose that". Icarus needs new batteries for his calculator to finish his report, or in other words, he cannot finish his report without them. "So that" can also mean "with the result that", for example: Bob got up very late, so that he missed his bus and was late for work.
3 until: As a subordinate conjunction, "until" shares a similar meaning with "before" in negative constructions. The meeting will start after Horatio has finished his whiskey. "Until" can also mean "up to the time of", for example: Bruno walked in the rain until he was so tired he had to sit down.
4 Although: "Although" shares the same meaning as "even though", "regardless of (the fact that)" or "in spite of (the fact that)", and is usually found at the beginning of clauses. The term introduces the contrast between Phillip having a bad cold, and his decision to attend the sales conference.
5 while: "While" is used to introduce two clauses that happen simultaneously, or a continuous action that is interrupted by another. Every morning, Jean reads the newspaper at the same time as he is eating his breakfast. "While" can also be used in a similar way to "even though" and "although", for example: While Bruno appreciated the gesture, he could not accept the prize.

"Given that he vomited eighteen times, I am sure that any dangerous elements have left his system."

Select those terms or expressions which could replace "given that" in this context, and express the SAME meaning.

There may be more than one correct answer!
"Since" shares a similar meaning with "given that" in this context. They both explain a reason and a result, like "because". Example: "Let's have a picnic, since it's such a sunny day".

"Seeing as" is a synonym of "given that". They both describe a cause and result situation, similar to "because". Example: "Seeing as you like the colour blue, I've bought you a blue dress".
"Although" means "despite" or "notwithstanding", and does not share a similar meaning with the expression "given that".
"Despite the fact that" means "although" or "notwithstanding", and does not share a similar meaning with the expression "given that".

When I see you in the morning, with your long dark 1 hair 2,
I want to tell 3 you all my secrets, but there are some I just can't share 4,
You're like an angel who came to earth 5, and from heaven 6 you fell,
Your nose is like an eagle's beak 7, although 8 you cannot smell!
1 dark: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "long dark hair". A "dark" colour is one which is closer to black than white. "Dark" hair is usually black or brown. Blonde or white hair is "light" hair.
2 hair: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "long dark hair". "Hair" is what most people have on their head and body. Monkeys and other mammals also have a lot of hair.
3 tell: This is the correct term. Brian sings "I want to tell you all my secrets". To "tell (someone something)" is to inform them of something. Note that the verb "to tell" is not followed by the preposition "to".
4 share: This is the correct term. Brian sings about some secrets "I just can't share". In this context, the verb "to share" means "to relate" or "to communicate", for example: I'd like to share this idea with you.
5 earth: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "an angel who came to earth". The "earth" is synonymous with the world or the planet (we live on). An "angel who came to earth" is one who has come from heaven to the world.
6 heaven: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "heaven". "Heaven" is a place of happiness, peace and bliss. In Christianity, "Heaven" is the home of God and the angels.
7 beak: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "an eagle's beak". A "beak" is the mouth-like part of a bird's face. The beak is used for eating, killing prey, feeding young, etc. The "beak" can also be used to refer to a human nose, especially when the nose is long or shaped like a beak.
8 although: This is the correct term. "Although" shares the same meaning as "even though", "regardless of (the fact that)" or "in spite of (the fact that)", and is usually found at the beginning of clauses. "Although" is used to make a link between two things, and often introduces a contrasting idea or expresses a possible doubt. Example: Although he looked sad, he still smiled and played with the children.
