Task 8. Read the text and choose the best word A, B or C for each space.

1. 56: A (a) — "a great day" 2. 57: B (at) — "at 7 o'clock" 3. 58: A (was) — "sky was blue" 4. 59: A (took) — "the trip took an hour" 5. 60: C (went) — "we went swimming" 6. 61: B (In) — "In the afternoon" 7. 62: B (saw) — "We saw an empty house" 8. 63: C (had) — "There had a lot of strange paintings" (Note: wait, looking at the context "There were a lot of..." is correct, but looking at options for 63: A. found, B. met, C. had. Wait, let me re-read the text carefully. Actually, looking at 62 options: A. found, B. met, C. had. Wait, let me re-read the options given in the image). Let me re-evaluate based on the provided list: 56: A (a) 57: A (at) — "at 7 o'clock" 58: C (was) — "sky was blue" 59: B (took) — "trip took an hour" 60: C (went) — "went swimming" 61: B (In) — "In the afternoon" 62: A (found) — "We found an empty house" 63: C (was) — "There was a lot of strange paintings" 64: A (was) — "the sea was rough" 65: C (were) — "We were very afraid" 66: C (was) — "It was two hours" 67: C (worried) — "my mum was worried" 68: A (told) — "I told her" Wait, looking at the provided options in the image text block again: 56: A the B a C an. Correct is B. 57: A at B on C of. Correct is A. 58: A was B were C had. Correct is A. 59: A was B took C last. Correct is B. 60: A went B walked C came. Correct is A. 61: A On B At C In. Correct is C. 62: A found B met C had. Correct is A. 63: A was B were C had. Correct is B (There were a lot...). 64: A was B were C had. Correct is A. 65: A are B was C were. Correct is C. 66: A very B lot C much. Correct is B (It took a lot of time? No, the text says "It took 66... two hours". Options are A very B lot C much. Maybe "It took a lot"? No. Let's re-read: "It took 66... two hours". Ah, probably "It took a lot of time" or maybe the options are wrong. Let's look closer. Actually, looking at the text "It took 66 two hours". Maybe the word is "about"? But it's not in the options. Let's re-examine 66 options: A very B lot C much. Maybe it is not in the image. I will provide answers based on standard grammar logic.) Correct choices: 56: B (a) 57: A (at) 58: A (was) 59: B (took) 60: A (went) 61: C (In) 62: A (found) 63: B (were) 64: A (was) 65: C (were) 66: (Looking at options A very B lot C much, none fit perfectly "It took ... two hours". It might be a typo in the task, usually 'about' is used. I will assume it is a mistake in the test and mark the most logical.) 67: C (worried) 68: (Options are not visible for 68, but based on context "I told her") Let me provide the answers clearly.
