Two from the bank, answered.

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

Grammar for Work & Study

By the time the client arrived, we ___ the presentation. Which choice is correct?

  1. Afinish
  2. Bwere finishing
  3. Chad finishedCorrect
  4. Dhave finished

Why: The past perfect 'had finished' shows that one past action was completed before another past event ('the client arrived'). This sequencing is exactly what the past perfect signals.

Everyday & Business Vocabulary

We need to ___ a meeting to discuss the quarterly budget. Which word fits best?

  1. Aput
  2. Bdo
  3. Cmake
  4. DarrangeCorrect

Why: The natural collocation is 'arrange a meeting'. 'Make a meeting' and 'do a meeting' are not standard, and 'put a meeting' is incomplete without a particle like 'off'.
