练习 1
"They made a killing last year, regardless of any of the bad publicity they've received over the years."
Another way to say this is: "They made a killing last year, any of the bad publicity they've received over the years."
(Choose the term which could replace "regardless of" and still fit the sentence grammatically.)

(Choose the term which could replace "regardless of" and still fit the sentence grammatically.)
"They made a killing last year, regardless of any of the bad publicity they've received over the years."
Another way to say this is: "They made a killing last year, despite any of the bad publicity they've received over the years."
(Choose the term which could replace "regardless of" and still fit the sentence grammatically.)
Another way to say this is: "They made a killing last year, despite any of the bad publicity they've received over the years."
(Choose the term which could replace "regardless of" and still fit the sentence grammatically.)
despite: "Despite" means "in spite of" or "notwithstanding". It has the same meaning as "regardless" in this context. Both terms introduce contrast within a sentence.
although: "Although" has a similar meaning to "regardless of", however in this context it cannot be used. "Although" is used to make a link between two things. Example: Although he looked sad, he still smiled and played with the children. The phrase "although any of the bad publicity they've received over the years" is grammatically incorrect.
against: "Against" means to be opposed to something. It cannot be used in this sentence. The phrase "against any of the bad publicity they've received over the years" is grammatically incorrect, and does not express the same meaning as "despite" or "regardless".
nonetheless: "Nonetheless" means "however", or "nevertheless". It can have a similar meaning to "regardless", however it cannot be used in this context. The phrase "nonetheless any of the bad publicity they've received over the years" is grammatically incorrect.
练习 2
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.

Warbuckle says, "Especially that Susie, she's a real firecracker".
Which of the following words or phrases could replace the word "especially"?
Which of the following words or phrases could replace the word "especially"?
"However" is not a synonym of "especially".
"Regardless of" is not a synonym of "especially".
"Especially" means that something is "exceptional", or deserving of special emphasis. It is a synonym for "in particular", or "particularly" in this context.
练习 4
Susie says: "up until now, the public has respected and even admired Delavigne."
Her sentence suggests that:
Her sentence suggests that:
Susie says: "up until now, the public has respected and even admired Delavigne."
Her sentence suggests that:
Her sentence suggests that:
This is the best choice here. "Up until now" is an expression which indicates a period of time in the past which leads up to the present moment. Susie is expressing that the public image of Delavigne Corporation has been positive "up until now". The phrase Susie uses also implies that if the Delavigne Corporation continues to exploit cheap labor, their image or reputation will be damaged in the future.
This is not the best choice. Delavigne's image has been positive in the past (up until now), and this includes the present or current moment. It would be inaccurate to say that Delavigne's image is currently "suffering".
This is not the best choice. Delavigne's image has been positive in the past (up until now), but it might change if they continue to exploit cheap labor.
This is not the best choice. Delavigne's image has been positive until now, but it might change if they continue to exploit cheap labor. This is what Susie is expressing here.
