1. Choose the correct title for the text.

Based on the questions that follow, especially question 2 about what the text tells about, it seems the text is about a bad day or an unlucky day for the main character. Therefore, 'A Bad Day' is the most fitting title.

Ответ: b) A Bad Day

2. Choose the correct variant to complete the sentences. The text tells about ....

Since the title chosen is 'A Bad Day' and question 4 mentions 'The day was not good', it is logical to infer that the text is about an unlucky day for the character. The options provided do not directly align with a narrative of a 'bad day' until question 4 implies it. However, based on the context that the day was not good and subsequent events, 'an unlucky day' seems to be the most encompassing description.

Ответ: d) an unlucky day

3. The man in the story told about ....

Without the text of the story, it's impossible to definitively answer what the man told about. However, if question 2 states the text is about 'an unlucky day', then it's plausible the man is recounting events of that day.

Ответ: c) a day in his life

4. The day was not good that's why....

If the day was not good, then it's likely one of the negative consequences listed. Without the actual text, we infer the reason for the day being 'not good' from the options. If it led to a bad outcome, 'fell ill' or 'broke his leg' are direct consequences of a bad day.

Ответ: a) he broke his leg

5. The man drove to his office....

This question describes an action related to the 'unlucky day'. Driving 'five minutes late' would contribute to a bad or unlucky day, especially if it leads to further complications.

Ответ: c) five minutes late
