Help with exercise
Hi there, I don't have an answer key and need to help with correcting one exercise. The choice is put in brackets and after each sentence I wrote my answer. Is it OK? Which yes, which not? Thanks for any reply.
1. It’s becoming (generally / increasingly) common for museums to charge an entrance fee. = INCREASINGLY
2. The cost of living ( is forever going / forever goes up ) . Soon I won’t be able to afford anything! = IS FOREVER GOING UP
3. At the speed we’re using oil we’re ( bound to / definitely ) run out soon. = BOUND TO
4. I was trying to understand what ( happened / had happened) when I heard the noise. = HAPPENED
5. My cousin is allergic to ( cow’s milk / the milk of a cow. ) = COW'S MILK
Thanks a lot !!!

I would say that either answer is possible for #4, though I'd probably pick had happened . The rest are fine.
