Dear teachers,
I have two questions to ask:
No.1
This thing is extremely boring. It's getting on my nerves. Let's get it _____ and done with.
a. over b. through
The key is "a". However, in Cambridge dictionary I found the following:
get through sth.
to finish something that you are doing
I get through a lot more work when I'm on my own.
Could you please explain if "b" is also correct?
No.2
An auction host provides the Web space and individuals "rent" a _____ of that space.
a. piece b. slice
The key is "a". But I can find "a slice of space" in my dictionary. Could you please kindly explain why "b" isn't correct in this sentence?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.
