Answer Explanations
Question 1 Explanation
The correct answer is too. We use too before an adjective when something is more than needed or more than suitable. In this sentence, the bag is heavier than the speaker can carry. The phrase “for me to carry” shows that the weight is a problem.
Question 2 Explanation
The correct answer is enough. We use enough after an adjective when something reaches the necessary level. In this sentence, “old enough” means she has the necessary age to travel alone. The structure is adjective + enough + infinitive.
Question 3 Explanation
The correct answer is enough. We use enough before nouns when we mean a sufficient amount. “Time” is an uncountable noun, and the sentence says the speakers may not have the amount they need. The phrase “to finish the project today” shows the purpose of the needed time.
Question 4 Explanation
The correct answer is too. We use too before adjectives to show that something is excessive. The coffee is hotter than it should be for drinking now. The phrase “to drink now” shows that the high temperature creates a problem.
Question 5 Explanation
The correct answer is enough. We use enough after adjectives to mean sufficient for a purpose. In this sentence, he is not tall enough, so he cannot reach the top shelf. The negative form “isn’t” shows that he does not have the necessary height.
Question 6 Explanation
The correct answer is too. The phrase too many is used before plural countable nouns when the number is excessive. “People” is plural in meaning, so too many is the correct structure. The phrase “in this small room” shows that the number of people is a problem.
Question 7 Explanation
The correct answer is enough. We use enough after an adjective when the level is suitable or sufficient. “Easy enough” means the exercise has the right level of difficulty for A2 students. The phrase “for A2 students” explains who the exercise is suitable for.
Question 8 Explanation
The correct answer is too. We use too before an adjective when something is more than acceptable. The music is louder than the speaker wants. The sentence “Please turn it down” confirms that the loudness is a problem.
Question 9 Explanation
The correct answer is enough. We use enough before nouns to ask whether the amount is sufficient. “Money” is an uncountable noun, so the phrase “enough money” is correct. The sentence asks whether the speakers have the necessary amount for the tickets.
Question 10 Explanation
The correct answer is enough. We use enough after adjectives to show that something reaches the needed level. In this sentence, the soup is not warm enough, so it is not suitable to eat. The word “not” makes the sentence negative and shows that the temperature is insufficient.
Question 11 Explanation
The correct answer is too. We use too before an adverb when the action is done more than is suitable. “Too fast” means her speaking speed is higher than the listener can understand. The phrase “for me to understand” shows the negative result of speaking too quickly.
Question 12 Explanation
The correct answer is enough. We use enough before nouns when we talk about a sufficient amount. “Milk” is an uncountable noun, so “enough milk” is the correct structure. The negative phrase “There isn’t” means the amount of milk is not sufficient.
Question 13 Explanation
The correct answer is too. We use too before adjectives when something is excessive in a negative way. The jacket is smaller than the brother needs. This means the jacket is not suitable for him.
Question 14 Explanation
