A busy day
The January sales started and when the girls arrived at Browns department store, where they worked, there were a lot of people queuing along the street. 30 ______ the time before Christmas had been very busy for shop assistants, they were shocked by such a big crowd outside the shop.
“I’ve never 31 ______such a queue! Do they think we’re going to be giving the stuff away or something?” Anna asked her friend Lucy.
“Well, you know what they say – the early bird catches the worm, and 32 ______ to the radio, some people have been queuing all night in London to get the best bargains,” Lucy said. “Let’s think positively – if we are busy, the time will go quicker.”
On her 33 ______ to the cosmetics department Anna was wondering if they would even have time for their breaks or lunch-hours. And she was quite right as there was no chance of a morning break but at last the girls were given 34 ______ to go for a shortened lunch break and they met up in the staff dining room.
“My God,” Lucy said as they stood at the counter. “I’ve actually had two ladies almost come to fight over a dress. I could 35 ______ calm them down.”
“It hasn’t been much better in the perfume and cosmetics department,” Anna remarked. “I ran out of Chanel perfume within an hour and the customers got angry with me, as if it was my 36 ______! I’ll tell you, at one point I was ready to walk out!”
That was really busy time for them. After all, the worst of the sales rush should be over soon.

Пояснение
Разбор.
В данном задании необходимо выбрать подходящий по смыслу союз для связи двух частей предложения в первом абзаце: «30 ______ the time before Christmas had been very busy for shop assistants, they were shocked by such a big crowd outside the shop.»
- Верным является вариант 2) Although (хотя), так как он вводит придаточное уступительное предложение. В предложении наблюдается противопоставление: несмотря на то, что продавцы уже привыкли к предпраздничной суете («the time before Christmas had been very busy»), они всё равно были шокированы размером толпы («they were shocked by such a big crowd»).
- Вариант 1) Therefore (следовательно/поэтому) не подходит, так как он выражает следствие. Если бы время перед Рождеством было загруженным, это не стало бы причиной шока от новой толпы; логика была бы обратной. Кроме того, Therefore обычно отделяется запятой и не ставится в начале такого типа конструкций без предварительного утверждения.
- Вариант 3) However (однако) используется для противопоставления, но как вводное слово. Если бы мы использовали However, предложение должно было быть разбито на два, и после него стояла бы запятая: «The time before Christmas had been busy. However, they were shocked...». В рамках одного сложноподчиненного предложения оно здесь грамматически неуместно.
- Вариант 4) Moreover (более того) используется для добавления новой информации, усиливающей предыдущую мысль. Здесь же мысли противопоставляются (ожидаемая занятость против неожиданного шока), а не дополняют друг друга.
