Упр.28 Unit 4 ГДЗ English Михеева 10 класс

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Михеева, Афанасьева 10 класс, Просвещение: 28 Analyse the differences between the vocabulary items in the first two pairs and explain the differences in the rest. Use a dictionary. a) very — pretty Both the words can be used as intensifiers, making the meanings of other words stronger. Very is neutral as to style. Pretty is used colloquially. Besides the degree of intensity could be different. Cf.: He is pretty clever (= He is fairly clever . He is very clever (= He is extremely clever . Sometimes pretty can mean very. Cf.: I see they have made a pretty good job of it. b) to reflect — to brood Both the verbs mean to think carefully and seriously about something, but brood also implies a lot of worry. People usually brood over something that could be a trouble. Cf.: Give me a minute to reflect and I’ll give you my decision. It is silly to sit and brood over what has happened. You can’t change the situation for the better now. c) to stay — to remain d) fee(s) — salary e) fat — stout

Ответ

c) to stay — to remain
Both verbs mean “to continue to be in the same place or condition”, but stay is more general and often temporary, while remain is more formal and means “to continue to be”.

d) fee(s) — salary
A fee is money paid for a service, lesson, or professional help. A salary is a fixed regular payment for work, usually paid monthly.

e) fat — stout
Both words describe a person with a lot of body weight, but fat is neutral or even rude, while stout is a milder, more polite word, often used about older people.
