🟠 The English Lab | Part 1 Practice – Vocabulary in Context
Let’s get back into Part 1 with a quick quiz.Choose the option that fits the meaning and the tone of the sentence.
He was ___ to find out the truth.
A) eager
B) keen
C) interested
D) curious
👉 Comment your answer below. I will post the correct one and the explanation tomorrow.
Exam Coaching:This is a classic Part 1 question.All four words are similar in meaning, but only one fits the natural collocation and emotional tone of the sentence.
Ask yourself:
  • Which word shows strong desire?
  • Which word normally appears with “to find out”?
  • Which one sounds natural when you read it out loud?
Tiny differences like this are what Cambridge tests in Part 1.
Pro tip:When two or more words seem possible, eliminate the ones that sound unnatural in real conversation. Your instinct is often more accurate than you think.
👉 Drop your answer in the comments and check back tomorrow for the explanation.
