Grammar Structures

This time next week, I ___ on a beach in Portugal. Which choice is correct?

  1. Awill lie
  2. Bwill be lyingCorrect
  3. Chave lain
  4. Dlie

Why: 'This time next week' points to an action in progress at a specific future moment, so the future continuous 'will be lying' is correct. The simple future 'will lie' does not stress the action in progress.

Vocabulary & Idioms

The volunteers made a real ___ to the lives of local families. Which word fits best?

  1. Achange
  2. Bresult
  3. Ceffect
  4. DdifferenceCorrect

Why: The fixed expression is 'make a difference', meaning to have a positive impact. 'Make a change' has a different meaning, and 'effect' and 'result' do not pair with 'make' in this idiom.
