Hello There!

It seems all right to me but the answers do not sound that accurate, I mean, there are many other words which can serve as correct answers, if not better. Perhaps the students can be asked to complete it without being given any set of possible answers and the examiner/teacher assess their answers as they see fit and not solely based on strictly predetermined answers especially when there are many possible answers.

Cheers!

Hi,
Sirhajwan is correct that the answers provided aren �t the only possibilities. There are also some mistakes:

The instructions specify "a word", but some of the answers you give have two or more words.

2.  You misspelled "teenagers"

3. You might mean husband instead of wife. Either is possible these days.

4. This sentence isn �t very clear, so the students wii find it difficult.

6. ANYTHING instead of SOMETHING, because the clause is nrgative.

7. Fan, not fun

8. The changes are probably in existing technologies, rather than new

9.  in, not to America

10. Had left is more likely, unless they happened simultaneously

11. Having made
