Help me, please.

Dear teacher!
I have a question.
- I feel ____________ whenever I go to the pagoda.
a- happier and more relaxed
b- more relaxed and happier
The key is A. But why isn't B chosen , please?

[5jj]

In speech, both are possible. The intonation makes it clear that we are not saying 'more relaxed and (more) happier.

Actually, I think both are acceptable in writing. Our mind interprets the intended message correctly.

Hello and welcome to the forum Winnie Pooh. You should start a new thread for your task and you should try to transform the sentences yourself first. The teachers will hopefully correct it then.
I don't think it's that hard.

For example:
2) M lacks the ability to accept criticism.

Your version is OK, although I think you should keep "this", and not change it to "that".

The company plans to keep this model.
The company does not plan to replace this model.

Remember to put a full stop at the end of every sentence. Thank you.

8. She is very proud of the way she keeps her house clean and tidy. TAKES
- She is very proud of the way she takes care of her house. (IMO, an unfair question)
9. The team of experts finally managed to get the right solution to the problem. CAME
- The team of experts finally came to a solution to the problem (IMO, an unfair question) The team of experts finally managed to come to agreement on a solution to the problem.

There are so many ways these can be rewritten!

Of these two in particular, I wouldn't be surprised if the examiner was looking for "She takes pride in the way she keeps her house clean and tidy" and "The team of experts finally came up with the solution to the problem."
