תשובות לתרגול

announce
1. Correct answer: announce.
2. 'Announce' means to tell people officially. The notice uses it: 'The council will announce the result'.
builds
1. Correct answer: builds.
2. First conditional for a real future possibility: if + present simple, will + verb. 'The city' is third person singular, so 'builds'.
budget
1. Correct answer: budget.
2. The council's ₪150,000 is a budget: an amount planned for spending. A survey collects opinions.
cheaper
1. Correct answer: cheaper.
2. Two items compared: comparative. One-syllable adjective 'cheap' takes -er: cheaper (₪90,000 < ₪150,000).
could
1. Correct answer: could.
2. In reported speech after a past reporting verb, 'can' usually shifts back to 'could'.
only
1. Correct answer: only.
2. 'Only' restricts the benefit to one group, which is exactly the critics' point in paragraph 3.
Although
1. Correct answer: Although.
2. 'Although' introduces a contrast inside one sentence: popularity versus cost. 'Because' would give a reason, which makes no sense here.
renovate
1. Correct answer: renovate.
2. A 'renovated skatepark' is an old park repaired and improved.
had changed
1. Correct answer: had changed.
2. Third conditional (unreal past): if + past perfect, might/would have + past participle.
The lanes might reduce traffic.
1. Correct answer: The lanes might reduce traffic..
2. 'Might' shows possibility, not certainty. The article itself hedges: 'traffic near schools might fall'.
investment
1. Correct answer: investment.
2. The article calls the lanes 'a one-time investment': money spent now for a long-term benefit.
in addition
1. Correct answer: in addition.
2. 'In addition' adds a further point of the same kind. 'However' would contrast, which does not fit.
