Hello. It seems to be in sentence 1 the best answer is - B ( thanks). In the second sentence is - b ( celebration). The third task repeats the first one. |

I think D is a better answer for the first one, although "Thanks, it �s OK" isn �t really wrong. Bruce |

I agree with Bruce that B is the best answer to #1. For #2, I don �t like any of the answers. I �d say "He’s having a party in honor of his 84th birthday." Or alternatively, "He’s having a party in to celebrate his 84th birthday." For #3, just add a period. "It’s very nice of you to say so. Thanks " |

I go for B for the first one, as well. �Thanks � is the answer. Adding �it �s OK � involves Tom being modest about his work. The �it �s OK is referring to his work. For D to be a good answer, I think Mary would have had to make a comment on the quality of the work, rather than just congratulating him on it.... But this is getting a bit nit-picking...  In speech, the tome would be important. |

I �m now leaning toward Lynn �s reasoning for B for the second one. However, the "It �s OK" is referring to the quality, just like comment D would be replying to a comment on the quality. For this reason, I see B and D as equally good, and equally flawed. Bruce |

Yes, I agree with that, Bruce. Some of these tests people have to complete... |

I prefer D as the politest answer to question 1. B is alright but the "It �s ok" part could suggest that Mary is commiserating with him - "I �m sorry that your drawing got lost." - "Thanks, (but) it �s ok. (Im alright, really.)" D is unambiguously the response to a compliment, which I �m assuming is what is being tested. I also agree that this test seems forced! |

On reflection, I agree that D is the best answer. |
