Here by using my ear i know the first blank would be languid or somethink like tired. However if i apply the math strategy then Surprisingly(-)* hard work(+)= (-), and as NOT is there the blank would be positive so something like enthusiastic. Can anyone tell me how am i applying the math strategy wrongly.
I think semantics is better for B1 here, what would be unexpected if you heard the students are working hard?
yah thats true, but this is just confusing because u cant always be really objective in this test as in cases like this if i dont use my ear and semantics and just focus on strategies i would get it wrong.
Semantics is part of strategy though right?
