Examen Diagnóstico de Inglés V | A2+ & B1

A report stating a general finding uses the present simple ('shows'); the subject 'report' is singular, so it needs the -s ending.

'Always' with 'do you' signals a repeated habit, which requires the base form of the verb after the present simple auxiliary.

'This week' frames a temporary, current problem, so the present continuous negative is required rather than a general habitual statement.

This describes an established general practice ('nowadays' as a broad period), so the present simple with plural agreement is correct.

'Every four hours as standard procedure' describes a routine, which requires the present simple; plural subject 'Nurses' takes the base form, not '-s'.

'Twice' with no specific past time refers to an experience up to now, which requires the present perfect.

Both actions are completed, sequenced steps in the past, narrated with the past simple and connected by 'first... then...'.

After 'Have you ever', the verb needs the past participle to form the present perfect question about life experience.

'Have never been to' is the fixed present perfect form used for life experience; 'been' is the correct past participle of 'be' after 'have'.

'Later that afternoon' is a specific completed past moment, so the past simple is required.

'Since then' connects a past starting point to the present result, which is the classic trigger for the present perfect.

The question asks about the manner or method of a process, which is introduced by 'How', not by a question word about reason, time, or place.

'Next month' signals a planned future passive action, requiring 'will be' plus the past participle.

The plural subject 'tablets' undergoes the action and the sentence describes a current general practice, requiring present simple passive plural.

The question is about the mechanism or method of protection, which requires 'How'.

'Which department' is used because it implies choosing among a known, limited set of departments in the institution.

The plural subject 'regulations' and the repeated, general nature of the action ('every year') require the present simple passive with plural agreement.

'Even though' introduces a contrast: despite the expense (a reason to avoid it), patients still choose the treatment.

'Should' matches a professional recommendation; 'must' would overstate it as an obligation rather than advice.

'Could' presents a mere possibility or option, which fits 'not a requirement'; 'should' would imply a stronger recommendation than the sentence intends.

'So' introduces the consequence (repeating the study) that resulted from the inconclusive results.

'Might simply be' introduces one possible, uncertain explanation among others, which fits the context of inconsistent results.

'Because' introduces the cause (gas leak) of the effect (early shutdown).

'Suggest' is followed by a gerund (-ing form), not an infinitive, when recommending an activity.

'Suggest' requires the gerund form of the following verb, not the infinitive.

A casual text between friends calls for the simple, informal 'can', not the overly formal expressions used in professional correspondence.

'Sincerely' is the standard formal closing for professional letters and emails; the other options are casual and would be inappropriate.

Casual texting uses short, contracted forms like 'can't'; the other options are overly formal for an excited text to a friend.

'But' connects two contrasting ideas: understanding the other's view while still expressing doubt.

After 'sorry to', the base form of the verb (infinitive without 'to' repeated) is required, not a noun or a conjugated form.

'If you think about it' is a common conversational phrase introducing a reflective point, distinct from a simple time or manner clause.

'In my opinion' is the fixed expression used to introduce a personal viewpoint; the other nouns don't fit this specific collocation.

After the modal 'can', the base form of the verb is required, and 'say something' (not 'tell something') is the correct collocation.

'Still' shows that the decision was made despite the disappointing results, matching the contrast introduced by 'even though'.

The present relevance of 'has proven effective' calls for the present passive ('is used'), not a past or unrelated auxiliary.

'Last year' places the passive action in a finished past time, requiring the past simple passive.

'Since it opened five years ago' signals an action continuing up to now, which requires the present perfect passive.

After 'has never', the past participle is required to complete the present perfect structure.

The text confirms mindfulness exercises, the link to social media and anxiety, and teacher training. It explicitly says the programs are 'still developing in many regions' (not fully developed) and that participants feel less overwhelmed, not more.

The text confirms universities consider volunteer experience, rising participation over five years, and the specific activities mentioned. It never states volunteering requires prior experience, and critics only question motivation, not the overall value of volunteering.
