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.
Esercizio 2
"Why can't you just admit that you got my application, had a good laugh and then tossed it in the bin?"
The caller thinks that the company his resumé, and then .
The caller thinks that the company his resumé, and then .
"Why can't you just admit that you got my application, had a good laugh and then tossed it in the bin?"
The caller thinks that the company was amused by 1 his resumé, and then threw his resumé in the trash 2.
The caller thinks that the company was amused by 1 his resumé, and then threw his resumé in the trash 2.
1 was amused by: "To have a good laugh (at or about something)" is to be amused or entertained by it. Example: We had a good laugh at the joke Bob told us. This idiom can also express the sense of mocking or teasing someone, as it does in this dialogue. In this context, the caller believes that whoever received his CV was entertained by it, or thought it was stupid.
1 was shocked by: To be "shocked by something" is to be surprised or offended by it. Example: I was shocked to learn that almost half of the population does not have medical insurance. To "have a good laugh" about something does not share a similar meaning with this expression.
1 ignored: To "have a good laugh (at or about something)" does not share a similar meaning with "ignoring" it. To "ignore" something is to disregard it, or to pay no attention to it. Example: We ignored what he was saying and continued with our conversation.
1 was annoyed with: To be "annoyed" is to be unhappy or frustrated. Example: I was annoyed with the constant ringing of the telephone. "To have a good laugh" about something does not share a similar meaning with the term "annoyed".
2 threw his resumé in the trash: To "toss something in the bin" is to throw it away, or dispose of it in the garbage, or trash. The verb "to toss" indicates physically throwing something. A "bin" is a type of receptacle or container, often for rubbish or garbage. Example: All of our garbage goes into the bins behind the building.
2 placed his resumé in a filing cabinet: A "filing cabinet" is a piece of furniture used for storing and organizing papers and files. Example: We bought a second filing cabinet because we needed more space for our files. A "filing cabinet" is not a "bin", and the expression "to toss (something) in the bin" is to throw it away (in the rubbish or garbage).
2 put his resumé in the paper shredder: A "paper shredder" is a device used for destroying documents by "shredding them", or cutting them into small pieces. Documents with sensitive information are often shredded after they are no longer needed. A "paper shredder" is different than a "bin", and the expression "to toss (something) in the bin" is to throw it away (in the rubbish or garbage).
2 posted his resumé in a public place: To "post (information)" is to display it publicly. Information can be posted on a billboard, on the Internet or on a wall. Example: The new office policy on smoking was posted on the bulletin board in the lounge. To "post information" does not share a similar meaning with the expression "to toss something in the bin", which means to throw it away (in the rubbish or garbage).
