Re: "owe to" or "refer to" Hi leta,
Based on the answer key 'contribute' is the correct answer - the answer key does not allow 'refer to', only 'refer'. 'Contribute' is the only word that stands on its own and makes sense in this sentence.
Hayseed's suggestion of 'attribute' is also fine.
Not too sure this has helped. The English language has so many unwritten 'rules' that makes it really difficult to learn, but you're doing great (and congratulations on the exam!) so keep at it.
