D.The ticket price
Explanation: The start changes from ten to half past ten. The meeting point remains the main entrance.

A.Following the friend's decisions without discussion
B.Avoiding the need to plan in advance
C.Sharing planning tasks while making joint decisions
D.Choosing separate destinations
Explanation: The friends divide planning tasks while deciding together. The benefit is cooperation, rather than surrendering decisions or avoiding planning.

A.The course was easier than expected.
B.The speaker would avoid choosing the course again.
C.The speaker primarily blames the tasks themselves.
D.Competing work commitments caused difficulty despite a positive overall judgement.
Explanation: The speaker would choose the demanding course again. Nicht…sondern… identifies excessive outside work as the problem rather than the tasks themselves.

A.Groups of more than ten people
B.Every individual visitor
C.Groups of exactly ten people
D.Only groups of fewer than ten people

A.Replacing printed books with tablets in every lesson
B.Choosing learning media according to the task
C.Letting pupils choose devices according to price
D.Using printed books only when tablets break
Explanation: Teachers choose the more suitable medium for each task. Tablets supplement printed books rather than automatically replacing them.

A.All pupils save the same amount of time.
B.Pupils on the outskirts save no time at all.
C.The benefit varies because some pupils still need a connection.
D.Pupils on the outskirts now travel without changing.
Explanation: The line saves time, but the gain is smaller for pupils who still change buses. Kleiner indicates a reduced benefit rather than no benefit.
7Complete the sentence: Ich helfe ____ Nachbarin beim Tragen. (meine)
A.meine
B.meinen
C.meines
D.meiner
Explanation: Helfen takes a dative object. The feminine singular dative form of the possessive determiner is meiner.
8Choose the standard written subordinate-clause word order: Sie bleibt zu Hause, weil ____.
A.sie morgen eine Prüfung hat
B.sie hat morgen eine Prüfung
C.hat sie morgen eine Prüfung
D.sie morgen hat eine Prüfung
Explanation: In this standard written weil clause, the finite verb appears at the end. The subject and other constituents precede hat.
9Which sentence presents both an unreal past condition and an unreal past result?
A.Wenn ich Zeit hätte, würde ich kommen.
B.Wenn ich Zeit gehabt hätte, wäre ich gekommen.
C.Wenn ich Zeit gehabt hätte, würde ich kommen.
D.Wenn ich Zeit habe, komme ich.
Explanation: Zeit gehabt hätte gives an unreal past condition, and wäre gekommen gives its unreal past result. Present or mixed-time alternatives do not place both elements in the past.
10Complete the relative clause: Das ist die Frau, ____ ich gestern geholfen habe.
A.die
B.deren
C.der
D.den
Explanation: The relative pronoun refers to feminine singular Frau and is the object of helfen. Helfen requires dative, giving der.
