Some of the following lines are correct; others have a word that should not be there. Tick the correct lines. Underline the words that should not be there. In the Cambridge First Certificate, the time for this exercise would be 15 minutes.
01. Miss Susie Jenner is nine years old only
02. and lives in Los Angeles. Her teachers do describe her
03. as being most very determined. Susie went to a slot machine
04. for some of sweets called Rainbow Sugar Candles. She put ten cents
05. in the slot and got just a packet. She found, however,
06. that the packet contained not only 35 Sugar Candles,
07. as did the package displayed on the very outside
08. of the machine, but only seven Sugar Candles. Also,
09. the candles were advertised as being of all colours
10. of the rainbow, but her pack was contained only red and yellow ones.
12. Clearly, it was five colours too short.
13. Susie immediately took a bus to the Attorney-General of California
14. and made herself a complaint of false advertising against
15. the Happy Days Vending Machine Company. As a result,
16. the company was fined $2,000.
