    A. I managed C. despite I managed
    B. but I managed D. I did managed

    Answer:- D
    D is not even grammatical. "I did manage" is.
    If the period in the example was a comma, B would work.
    But the only correct answer on what you've given is A.


    32. –What did the doctor say?

    A. to be done C. to do

    Answer:- A
    No. D.

    34. –Isn’t he exempt from military service?
    -Oh, didn’t you know? Military service isn’t required _________.
    A. anymore C. any way
    B. any how D. any time

    Answer:- A
    I suppose we're stuck with 'anymore' as one word now. Yes, A is right.

    35. –It’s time for Nancy to face the music and stop deluding herself.

    Answer:- D Yes.

    37. –Bob has finally resigned himself to the situation
    -Well, it was time he ___________ it.
    A. accept C. accepted

    What do you say?
    Both still wrong, I'm afraid. Please also use complete words ("you", not "u") and remember to capitalise the first word of every sentence.

    Help me. Thanks for your suggestions. I will follow them.
    35 - B "She is hardly ever able to ..." This is a construction that you just need to learn.

    38 - B - "Why should we do that?" Interrogative word order with modal.

    You said you would follow my suggestions. Why did you not capitalise or use correct punctuation in this post?

    35) B (She is hardly ever able to grasp reality.)

    38) B (Why should we do that?)



    PS: emsr2d2 was quicker than me, and her excellent answer rendered my attempt superfluous. (At least I was correct. )

    You have ignored my request in every single post. Please note that until you show that you are actually following the extra advice in this forum, not just getting the correct answers to your exercise, I will not be responding to any more of your posts.
