Two from the bank, answered.

Real items, with the answer marked and the reason written out — the same format as all 22.

Grammar

I ___ my keys, so I can't get into the flat.

  1. Alose
  2. Bwas losing
  3. Chave lostCorrect
  4. Dlosing

Why: The present perfect 'have lost' links a past action to a present result (you can't get in now). The past simple would need a finished time expression.

Vocabulary in Context

Don't ___ up now — you've almost finished the race!

  1. Aput
  2. Bget
  3. CgiveCorrect
  4. Dtake

Why: 'Give up' means to stop trying. The other phrasal verbs do not carry this meaning in this context.
