Пояснение
Разбор.
В данном задании необходимо выбрать подходящий по смыслу глагол для описания действия Меган в лобби отеля. Ответ находится во втором абзаце текста, в предложении: She 32 ______ at the group – they were a small company, only ten people.
Верным является вариант 3) looked, так как только этот глагол из предложенного списка требует после себя предлога at для обозначения направления взгляда на объект (look at someone/something — посмотреть на кого-то/что-то). В тексте мы видим именно это сочетание: looked at the group.
Остальные варианты не подходят по грамматическим причинам:
- Вариант 1) noticed (заметила) является переходным глаголом и используется без предлога (noticed the group).
- Вариант 2) observed (наблюдала) также используется без предлога (observed the group) и обычно подразумевает длительное наблюдение за поведением или процессом.
- Вариант 4) watched (смотрела/наблюдала) употребляется без предлога (watched the group) и чаще всего относится к наблюдению за объектом в движении или развитии.
Ответ: 3
