Test on English Vocabulary: Describing People

Question 1: The study materials indicate that 'helmet' refers to an item of clothing worn on the feet.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials state that 'a helmet' translates to 'přilba, helma', which is worn on the head, not the feet. The example sentence also shows a woman wearing a helmet as an accessory on her upper body/head, not her feet.

Question 2: The woman in the description is not wearing sunglasses.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials state: "The woman is wearing a pink T-shirt, sunglasses and a helmet."

Question 3: Based on the provided material, what does the word 'about' indicate when used in the phrase 'She is about thirty-five (years old)'?

A. It states her precise age.

B. It suggests her age is approximately thirty-five.

C. It means she is exactly thirty-five, but the speaker is unsure.

D. It implies she is definitely not thirty-five.

Explanation: The study material defines 'about' as 'okolo, kolem, asi' and provides the example 'I think she is about thirty-five (years old)' which is translated as 'Je jí kolem třiceti pěti let.' This clearly indicates an approximate age, not an exact one.
