Esercizio 1
Last week, Polly Watson an email to the staff to let them know that employees are no longer to run in the hallways. This decision was made to prevent people from themselves.
Last week, Polly Watson [not done] sent 1 an email to the staff to let them know that employees are no longer [not done] allowed 2 to run in the hallways. This decision was made to prevent people from [not done] hurting 3 themselves.
1 sent: The verb 'to send' is irregular. All the actions in this exercise take place in the past (last week). We must put the verb in the past tense. To send: send/sent/sent
2 allowed: 'Allowed' is the best choice here. In this sentence, the verb 'allowed' is actually used as an adjective. The past participle of the verb is used here following the conjugated verb 'are'. Other forms of the verb besides 'allowed' don't work in this construction.
3 hurting: We must use the '-ing' form of the verb in this case. 'Hurting' is used as a gerund in this construction: It is a verb form which acts as noun. The expression 'to prevent (sbdy) from (verb in ING)' is a common one, which always employs a verb in the ING form.

"Furthermore" shares a similar meaning with "moreover" or "additionally". It does not make sense here.
"Any longer" is an alternative to "anymore", and this statement is correct. Another example: "I'm not going to accept your bad behaviour any longer: things must change".
This sentence is grammatically incorrect: it is a "double negative". To make sense, it could read either "you don't work here any more" or "you no longer work here".
This sentence is grammatically correct, and conveys Luna's meaning. "No longer" shares a similar meaning with "no more", and expresses that a situation or event has ended. Example: "I no longer want to eat meat".

Apparently, freedom of speech is protected in this country. However, the internet has made the video available the nation and around the world. The government will have to take measures if they want to prevent the video from being seen.

1 banned: "Banned" is the term we were looking for here. "To ban" is "to forbid" or "to make a law against", and it can be used as a noun, too: "There's a new ban on smoking in public places."
2 no longer: This is correct. We are trying to indicate that freedom of speech was protected previously, but not any more. "No longer" suggests exactly that! Here's another example: "Smoking is no longer allowed in pubs". This means that something used to be the case, but now the situation has changed.
3 throughout: "Throughout" is the right answer. "Throughout" is a word that means "everywhere, or for the whole time". It is used here to suggest that everyone could see the video. Here's another example: "Strawberries are now available throughout the year: even in December!".
4 further: This is the right choice. This sentence expresses that the government must "do more things" in order to limit the viewing of the video. The elegant way to say this is "take further measures". Here's another example of "further" meaning "more": "If you need any further information, don't hesitate to contact me."

Luna tells Trey "you will be hearing from us again very soon" which indicates that she will be contacting Trey in the near future.
Luna tells Trey that he has been "short-listed" for the position, which doesn't indicate that he is "no longer" (or "not anymore") being considered for the position.
The term "short-listed" does not indicate that a candidate has received the position they are being interviewed for. Luna does not tell Trey that he has the position, but rather that the interview went very well and that he has been "short-listed" for the job.
A "short-listed" candidate has joined a smaller or final group of people competing for something (a position, an award). Example: After fifteen interviews, we short-listed the five most qualified candidates. Trey's first interview went well enough that Luna tells him immediately that he is among the most qualified candidates for the position.
Luna asks Trey to have his arm "checked by a doctor" because he was shot before coming to the interview, which is not an indication that a medical visit is required for this position.

Mondays will no longer exist 4.
1 has made a very expensive album: This is the best choice here. We read in the article that Elkie's latest album is "the most expensive LP in history". An "LP" or "long player" is an album or collection of songs. Elkie has reportedly been accused of "wasting money on the album".
1 is the Queen's new best friend: This is incorrect. Although Elkie boasts that the Queen of England "rapped" on his album (spoke words musically), he also implies that The Queen was paid, and did not do this because she is Elkie's new best friend.
1 admits that he is careless with his money: This is incorrect. To "admit" to something is to "confess" or "accept" it. In fact, we read that Elkie defends his actions: he does not confess to spending his money carelessly.
2 are the most popular domesticated animals: This is the right answer. We read in the article that "Dogs... were declared the "World's Favourite Pet"." A "pet" is a domesticated animal such as a cat, dog, or pot-bellied pig which lives with people in their home. If something is "a favourite", then it is the "most popular" or the "preferred" thing. In this case, dogs are the most popular domesticated animals in the world!
2 are bigger than most dinosaurs: This is not the right choice. In the paragraph about dinosaurs, the journalist writes that "A Tyrannosaurus Rex... would have been no bigger than a small goat". A "goat" is an animal which is good at climbing up steep, rocky mountains. We make cheese from their milk. Goats are not a type of dog.
2 are worshipped all over the world: This is not the right choice. Although apparently cats were worshipped in ancient Egypt as the gods that they are.
3 will receive less money from their customers: This is the best answer here. The journalist writes that "It was a BAD WEEK for... European supermarkets", because they will have to pay their customers money while they wait to pay for their purchases. For example, in a French supermarket, "many customers left with more money than when they arrived". If the customers make a profit, then the shop must make a loss!
3 have increased their prices: This is incorrect. There is no indication in the article that the cost of products has been raised in European supermarkets.
3 have introduced automated check-outs: This is incorrect. There is no indication in the article that the payment system in European supermarkets will be "automated" or "electronic".
4 will no longer exist: This is the right description of what will happen to Mondays. We read in the article that "Mondays will be abolished". To "abolish" something is to "ban", "cancel", or "make it disappear". Example: "Slavery was abolished in the British Empire in 1833". If something "no longer exists", it has been destroyed, cancelled, or banned.
4 will be moved to later in the week: This is not the right choice. The article does not tell us that Mondays will move to a different date in the week. Rather, they will disappear entirely!
4 will be replaced by Fridays: This is not the right choice. The article does not tell us that Mondays will be replaced by Fridays. Rather, they will disappear entirely!
