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
Which of the following phrases best completes this statement:

"I'm going to approve your budget proposal..."
Which of the following phrases best completes this statement:

"I'm going to approve your budget proposal..."
Because Susie is currently in negotiations with Ms. Bümbüm's agent, we know that Ms. Bümbüm has not yet signed a contract, therefore Bruno will not give Susie his approval as a result of Bümbüm signing the contract.
This is the best choice here. Bruno says he will approve Susie's proposal "provided that" Ms. Bümbüm signs the contract. This means that Bruno will approve the deal if or on the condition that Ivana signs.
Bruno is unsure that Ms. Bümbüm will sign the contract, so he is not approving Susie's budget proposal because Ivana has signed the contract.
This is not the best choice. This phase means that Bruno will give Susie's budget proposal approval unless Ms. Bümbüm signs the contract. Bruno says just the opposite: He will approve the budget proposal only if Ms. Bümbüm signs.
Esercizio 3
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.
Esercizio 4
Last week, the entire Delavigne staff went on vacation the offices were fumigated. Here's what happened: The staff had a big party about a month , someone left a box of sugar cubes on the radiator. Eventually, the sugar melted onto the pipes of the radiator and attracted over 2,000 fire ants, which quickly invaded the offices. And Horatio did his best to hunt them all down individually, there were just too many.

* Melting is the physical process which occurs to a substance when it is heated. We could melt some cheese on a piece of toast, or we could melt the wax on a candle.
Last week, the entire Delavigne staff went on vacation while 1 the offices were fumigated. Here's what happened: The staff had a big party about a month ago 2, during which 3 someone left a box of sugar cubes on the radiator. Eventually, the sugar melted onto the pipes of the radiator and attracted over 2,000 fire ants, which quickly invaded the offices. And while 4 Horatio did his best to hunt them all down individually, there were just too many.

* Melting is the physical process which occurs to a substance when it is heated. We could melt some cheese on a piece of toast, or we could melt the wax on a candle.
1 while: This is the best choice here. 'While' is used to introduce a simultaneous action, or a continuous action which is interrupted by another action. The staff was on vacation 'during the same time that' the offices were fumigated.
1 during: This is incorrect. Although 'during' expresses the same meaning as 'while' it cannot be used in the same way. 'While' indicates relative actions and links whole clauses. 'During' links an action and an event. For example: 'They were on vacation during the fumigation'.
1 meanwhile: This is incorrect. 'Meanwhile' is usually used at the beginning of a sentence, and cannot be used to link two clauses within the same sentence. For example: 'They were on vacation. Meanwhile, the offices were being fumigated'.
1 during that: This is incorrect. 'During that' is not a valid grammatical construction. However, we could say 'during that month, I was very sad'.
2 ago: This is the best choice here. When we are talking about a time past which is expressed as a period of time, we use 'ago' to describe it. In this case, 'ago' is synonymous with 'before' or 'past'.
2 since: This is incorrect. When 'since' is used to describe a period of time, it is used before the noun. For example: 'They've been away since last month'.
2 while: 'While' is grammatically incorrect here and has no place in this particular construction.
2 there: 'There' is grammatically incorrect here, and and has no place in this particular construction.
3 during which: This is the best choice here. We use the compound construction 'during which' to describe an action that happened during the time of a specific event. 'During' the party, someone left some sugar on the radiator.
3 during: This is incorrect. 'During' is usually used to precede a noun and not an entire clause or action. For example: 'Someone left sugar on the radiator during the party'.
3 while: This is incorrect. 'While' is used to link two actions, not an event (the party) and an action (leaving the sugar on the radiator).
3 meantime: This is incorrect. 'Meantime' is nearly always used in the specific construction 'in the meantime', and appears at the beginning of a sentence, not in between two separate clauses.
4 while: This is the best choice here. 'While' is often used to introduce contrasting ideas, and is synonymous with 'although' or 'even though'. Although Horatio tried to destroy all the ants, there were too many for him to kill.
4 because: This is incorrect. 'Because' introduces a relationship of cause, not contrast.
4 during: This is incorrect. 'During' does not make sense in this construction.
4 since: This is incorrect. 'Since' introduces a relationship of cause, or the beginning of a period of time, not contrast.
