SOLUTIONS FCE Use of English PART 1.1

Here you have the solutions. Keep an eye on phrasal verbs and collocations. If you still have doubts, please write a comment.

1   A

"Hold onto" is a synonym of KEEP but it is the only option that is followed by the preposition ONTO.

2   C

"Seek" is a synonym of LOOK FOR and SEARCH FOR. That preposition is missing in the text.

3   A

"Engage in sth" means to get into something and is mixed up with INVOLVE but it means ENTAIL. You need another collocation to use INVOLVE in the same way as ENGAGE.

4   B

"Purpose" is the only word that fixes in the sentence. It is the opposite of CAUSE. It means REASON. 

5   C

"Apart from" means EXCEPT but it is the only one that is followed by FROM.

6   D

"Benefits" could be mixed up with PROFITS but the correct collocation is "benefits from" and "profits by" 

7   B

"Prepare" means make ready and it is the one that makes sense in the sentence.

8   D

"Little" means small in size or not much so that is the correct option. 

NARROW is used for extension, BRIEF is used for time and SHORT is used for length or height
