Quiz thématique 5 : Sentence completion

  1. Question 1 sur 16

    Choose the best word: "The meeting was cancelled ___ the manager was sick."
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. because

    The second part gives the reason for the first, so you need a cause word: because.

  2. Question 2 sur 16

    Choose the best word: "Our team was ___ to hear that the project had been approved; everyone cheered."
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. delighted

    "Everyone cheered" shows a happy reaction, so delighted fits.

  3. Question 3 sur 16

    Choose the best word: "The office will be closed on Monday, ___ staff should work from home that day."
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: D. so

    Working from home is the result of the office being closed, so you need a result word: so.

  4. Question 4 sur 16

    Choose the best word: "The report was long; ___, it was easy to read."
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. however

    A long report is usually harder to read, so "easy to read" is a contrast. However signals contrast.

  5. Question 5 sur 16

    Choose the best word: "Because the instructions were ___, nobody made a mistake."
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. clear

    "Because" links cause and effect. Clear instructions explain why nobody made a mistake.

  6. Question 6 sur 16

    Choose the best word: "The manager ___ the request because it did not follow the policy."
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. rejected

    A request that does not follow the policy is turned down, so rejected fits the cause given after "because".

  7. Question 7 sur 16

    Choose the best word: "The new process is ___: it takes half the time and uses fewer materials."
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. efficient

    The colon introduces an explanation: saving time and materials means the process is efficient.

  8. Question 8 sur 16

    Choose the best word: "Unlike her ___ colleague, who rarely speaks in meetings, Maya shares her ideas freely."
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. quiet

    "Who rarely speaks" describes the colleague, so quiet fits. "Unlike" contrasts the colleague with Maya.

  9. Question 9 sur 16

    Choose the best word: "The results were ___: some offices improved and others got worse."
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. mixed

    The colon explains the results: some good and some bad. That is a mixed result.

  10. Question 10 sur 16

    Choose the best word: "To avoid ___, the two teams agreed to keep one shared list of tasks."
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. confusion

    One shared list helps people know who does what, so the teams want to avoid confusion.

  11. Question 11 sur 16

    Choose the best words: "Please wear safety boots on site ___ you are only visiting for a few minutes."
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. even if

    "Even if" shows that the rule still applies in that case. A short visit is not a reason to wear boots, so because does not fit.

  12. Question 12 sur 16

    Choose the best word: "The rule applies ___ to all staff; there are no exceptions."
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. equally

    "No exceptions" means everyone is treated the same, so equally fits.

  13. Question 13 sur 16

    Choose the best word: "Although the training was ___, most staff said it was useful."
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. long

    "Although" signals a contrast, so the gap needs a drawback. Being long contrasts with being useful; the other options agree with it.

  14. Question 14 sur 16

    Choose the best word: "Sales fell in the spring. ___, the store had its best year ever, thanks to strong holiday sales."
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. Nevertheless

    A best year after falling spring sales is a surprise, so you need a contrast word such as nevertheless.

  15. Question 15 sur 16

    Choose the best word: "Far from ___ the problem, the quick fix made it worse."
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. solving

    "Far from" means the opposite happened. The fix made the problem worse, which is the opposite of solving it.

  16. Question 16 sur 16

    Choose the best words: "The supplier's prices are ___, but its deliveries are often ___, so we may change suppliers."
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: B. low ... late

    "But" needs a good point and then a bad one, and "so we may change suppliers" needs the bad point to matter. Low prices but late deliveries fits both.
