Choosing the Correct Item

This section requires selecting the most appropriate verb to complete each sentence, focusing on collocations and common phrasing in English.

1. On our holiday in Spain we are going to taste the local food.
   • Explanation: 'Taste' is the correct verb for experiencing food. 'Read' and 'buy' do not fit the context of trying local cuisine.
2. Don't forget to take pictures at the wedding. Marisa is going to look beautiful.
   • Explanation: 'Take pictures' is the standard idiom for photographing something. 'Make' and 'give' are incorrect in this context.
3. We can hire a car in Barcelona. It's not very expensive.
   • Explanation: 'Hire' (or 'rent' in American English) is the correct verb for temporarily using a car. 'Borrow' implies getting something for free, and 'have' doesn't fit grammatically.
4. My friends want to attend a rock concert next weekend. Do you want to come?
   • Explanation: 'Attend' is the correct verb for going to an event like a concert. 'Go' and 'visit' are not specific enough here.
5. We are going to see the sights tomorrow. We're starting with the Eiffel Tower.
   • Explanation: 'See the sights' is a common idiom for visiting tourist attractions. 'Watch' and 'look' are less appropriate for general sightseeing.
6. When I go to the beach I like to rent a jet ski. It's a lot of fun!
   • Explanation: 'Rent' is the correct verb for paying to use something like a jet ski for a period. 'Bring' and 'spend' do not fit.
7. In California they are going to visit a lot of theme parks.
   • Explanation: 'Visit' is the correct verb for going to places like theme parks. 'Walk' and 'go' are too general.
8. It's nice to buy souvenirs from interesting places.
   • Explanation: 'Buy' is the correct verb for purchasing souvenirs. 'Rent' and 'give' do not fit the context.
