Q1 the verb ‘have’ after the gap indicates a
plural noun, whereas ‘research’ is uncountable – so the answer must be the
people who do it – researchers.
Advice: look carefully at the grammar of the
sentence around the gap.
Q3 needs a plural noun because ‘establishment’
here is a concrete noun meaning an institution, so is countable. The rest of
the sentence ‘and private companies’ helps you to see this.
Advice: Think about the context of the sentence
around the gap.
Q8 The negative prefix is wrong here as it
contradicts the idea of ‘get stuck in’ in the previous sentence which means
immobile. So people ‘regain mobility’ if they are stuck.
Advice: Think about the meaning of the whole
text and check the sentences before and after the one with the gap to check
that your answer makes sense.
Ex. 2
1. think straight
2. thought it through
3. think the world of her
4. think up
5. think outside the box
