Because Bob has been working on another project, he hasn't to start looking for a keyboard for Polly.
Because Bob has been working on another project, he hasn't had the opportunity to start looking for a keyboard for Polly.
had the opportunity: This is correct. When Bob writes that he "hasn't had the chance" to start his search, he means that he has not yet "had the opportunity" or "had the time" to start looking.
had the good fortune: The idiom "to have the chance" has nothing to do with "luck" or "fortune", it indicates that Bob "didn't have the time" or "the opportunity" to start searching for a new keyboard for Polly.
had a good reason: The idiom "to have the chance" has nothing to do with "having a good reason", it actually indicates that Bob "didn't have the time" or "the opportunity" to start searching for a new keyboard for Polly.

练习 2
The term "hold up" is used twice in the dialogue. Select the most appropriate word or expression to define hold up in each of the contexts.

Bethany: Without any written correspondence, I doubt your case will in a court of law.

Philip: Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah. ! What do you mean, "state your intention"?
The term "hold up" is used twice in the dialogue. Select the most appropriate word or expression to define hold up in each of the contexts.

Bethany: Without any written correspondence, I doubt your case will stand a chance 1 in a court of law.

Philip: Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah. Slow down 2! What do you mean, "state your intention"?
1 stand a chance: This is the best choice here. In this context, "to hold up" means "to maintain a position", or "to be taken seriously". Example: "your case won't hold up because you don't have evidence". To "stand a chance" is to have the possibility of succeeding. When Bethany says that she doubts Philip's case will "hold up" in a court of law, she means that it is unlikely Philip's case will be taken seriously, or considered legitimate (without written correspondence).
1 win: This is incorrect. "To win" is not synonymous with "to hold up". "To win" means "to triumph", or "to achieve a victory". This is unrelated to the expression "to hold up".
1 be admitted: This is incorrect. "To be admitted (into a university)" means to be "given" or "allowed" entry. This is unconnected with the expression "to hold up", which has no sense of "authorisation" or "permission".
1 take a long time: This is incorrect. "To take a long time" is an expression of duration. This is unconnected to the phrase "to hold up", which does not suggest "length of time" or "duration".
2 Slow down: This is the best choice here. In this context, the exclamation "hold up" means "slow down" or "wait". This is what Philip asks Bethany to do, because he has not understood her previous statement. He wants her to pause and explain what she means. Another example of this use of the expression: "Hold up! Let me put my shoes on before we leave!".
2 Speak up: This is incorrect. "To hold up" has no connection is unrelated to the expression "speak up", which is a request for someone to speak or talk more loudly.
2 Say that again: This is incorrect. The expression "hold up" is not a request that a person repeat what they have said.
2 Listen up: This is incorrect. We tell someone to "listen up" when we want them to "pay attention" and "hear" what we are saying. This has no connection with the expression "hold up".
