Hello guys, just passed the english exam that determines whether I'm going to get into university or not. And the only task that I got wrong is the 24-th one. I chose A, however the right answer is B. Tell me if I'm wrong or not, please
>>323029
The answer is B. You were wrong.
>>323029
Yep, it was B.
Also, i'm not sure if you skipped it deliberately or missed it but
the answer for 31. is missing (it was C btw).
>>323029
It's B. The surrounding text is discussing age, as evidenced by the comparison to the pyramids, not the state they are in.
Additionally comapring the condition of an entire village to one specific structure that wasn't even a dwelling is silly.
>>323030
Why? Who the fuck would write about the same thing twice in one sentence?
>>323032
I didn't skip it, this is not an answer sheet
>>323039
Oh, ok it's all good then.
for it to be A it would have to be "in the same condition"
>>323037
Nothing is being said twice.
>The text is about a village that was discovered near Stonehenge and is suspected to have a connection to the structure
>The age is given, and explained that it dates back to the same time as Stonehenge
>To give perspective, the age is compared to another ancient structure.
It's a basic writing device. Comparing and contrasting makes the text more interesting and informative.

It's comparing the age of Stonehenge & the village, and then comparing that further to Egypt. I think it's sort of stupid too.

>comparing that further to Egypt
It's "the pyramids in Egypt", one of the oldest known manmade structures, my ESL friend.
