Emily
Emily was disappointed. She finally settled on the one person she felt she could seek advice from. She decided to turn30______ at the docks unannounced and hope George would be around when she knocked on his door.
She didn’t 31 ______either of her brothers who she was visiting. One of them would try to stop her, while the other would feel she betrayed a confidence. Emily could 32 ______wait until her day off, and once she had dropped Luke at school, she took a bus to the dockyard. She had chosen her time carefully: late morning, when George was still likely to be in his office, while her brothers would be fully 33 ______loading or unloading cargo at the other end of the dock. Emily said to the man on the gate that she’d come to apply for a job as a cleaner. He pointed indifferently towards the red-brick building and still didn’t 34 ______her. As she walked towards Spencer House, Emily looked up at the windows on the fifth floor and 35 ______which office was his. She recalled her encounter with Mrs. Gray, and the way she had been shown the door the moment she mentioned her name. Now Emily not only had a job she 36 ______and where she was respected, but she’d had two other offers in the past few days. She didn’t give Mrs. Gray another thought as she walked straight past the building and continued along the quayside.

Пояснение
Разбор.
В данном задании необходимо выбрать верное лексическое сочетание, подходящее по смыслу и грамматическому управлению. Речь идет о занятости братьев Эмили на работе.
Место в тексте: четвертое предложение второго абзаца: «She had chosen her time carefully: late morning, when George was still likely to be in his office, while her brothers would be fully 33 ______ loading or unloading cargo at the other end of the dock.»
Верным является вариант 3) occupied. Причастие occupied в сочетании с предлогом with (который здесь опущен, что допустимо в конструкции be occupied doing something) означает «занятый чем-либо». В контексте предложения братья Эмили были полностью поглощены работой: «fully occupied loading or unloading cargo» (полностью заняты погрузкой или разгрузкой груза).
Почему не подходят другие варианты:
- 1) timed (рассчитанный по времени) — не подходит по смыслу, так как люди не могут быть «рассчитаны по времени» в процессе погрузки груза.
- 2) governed (управляемый) — не соответствует контексту, так как описывает процесс руководства или контроля, а не личную занятость делом.
- 4) tested (протестированный/испытанный) — не имеет смысла в данной ситуации; братьев не подвергали испытаниям во время работы.
Ответ: 3
