Midsummer Night's Eve (Selective cloze, CAE)

I'm terrible, 12 out of 16. But better than the last time, I must say!

Grr, I wish I hadn't re-read it, I would have gotten correct 2 more

It's terrible too.10 out of 16. It's far away for me to pass CAE.

Hey Fandorin, do you know that no matter how badly you do in a paper, you can always pass it by balancing the marks?

Yuppii! 15/16!

Hey by the way , what is the difference between extingusih and go out? [:^)]

Thank you again Tanit and I have a question. I remembered Shakespeare when I read the title. I don't know why. Any guess?

Hi Doll,
Excellent! [Y]

"Extinguish" is transitive, so for it to be grammatical we'd need " ... and, when the fire had been extinguished, ...". However, I also think (but I might be wrong, so you'd better double-check in the vocabulary section, if you wish) that they slightly differ in meaning. A fire is extinguished by somebody, but can go out without any extern

Thank you Tanit.

Ah, that short story! I remembered it!

Ok, first of all I have to thank you for such exercises. They really help me I guess. But I would like to know the difference between ward off and avert. I am sure it is clear, but I dont get it:)
Thanks Leni
