Trả lời

Here's the breakdown of the correct answers and why:<br /><br />* **26. A. crowd** - The sentence needs a noun to describe the group of shoppers. "Crowd" is the correct noun form.<br />* **27. B. took** - The sentence describes a past action (Gimbels placing an advertisement). The past tense "took" is correct.<br />* **28. C. was** - The writing instrument is singular, so the singular past tense "was" is needed.<br />* **29. B. without** - The sentence implies that the pen could write for two years without needing to be refilled. "Without" is the correct preposition.<br />* **30. C. sold** - The sentence describes a completed action in the past (Gimbels selling their stock). The past tense "sold" is correct. <br />
