Question 1 of 5.

What movie is this from?

1. I'm not sure but I suppose it's from Harry Potter.
2. I'm not sure but I suppose it's from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
3. Andrew, my English is pretty good but I don't know the English names of movies! Why are you so obsessed with pop culture?

It's from Harry Potter

It's the Golden Snitch from the famous wizard sport Quidditch.

Probably quite a lot of you are ONE MILLION PERCENT SURE it's from Harry Potter. In that case you wouldn't say 'I suppose'. You'd say 'It's from Harry Potter' or 'It's definitely from Harry Potter'.

Question 2 of 5.

Your friend sets you up on a blind date. The woman/man arrives wearing their face mask like this. What would you do?

1. I suppose I'd go ahead with the date and try to make a good first impression.
2. I suppose I'd run away screaming 'Unclean! Unclean!'

Run! Run like the wind!

The man or woman might be attractive, but they are stupid and dangerous. Do you want to have children with someone who doesn't listen to doctors and scientists?

Anyway, using "I suppose" is correct here because it's hard to know exactly what you'd do in a situation like this. You can guess but you can't be sure.

Question 3 of 5.

Why does he say 'sorry, gotta take this?'

1. He wants to take the phone and sell it at the local flea market.
2. He got an incoming phone call and wants to take the phone call.
3. I suppose he is PRETENDING to be taking a phone call so that he doesn't have to stay in the room.

Take a call, not take the phone!

A lot of English students say 'I need to make a phone' - that's Apple and Samsung's job! Those students mean 'make a phone call'. Take a phone call is the same thing but you receive a call.

It's possible the second answer is correct but if you've ever seen a TV show then you know people always lie about incoming phone calls so that they can exit an awkward situation.

Question 4 of 5.

What is Bart doing?

1. His homework.
2. Not his homework.

He SHOULD be doing his homework right now but he obviously isn't.

Either it's the time of day when he is expected to do his homework or his mother told him to go and do his homework. SOMEONE expects him to do his homework. But he isn't doing it. Oh, Bart!

Question 5 of 5.

Is this ironic?

1. Yes.
2. No.

A little toooooo ironic, don't you think?

She isn't happy. The worst thing about being unhappy in this situation is that EVERYONE EXPECTS YOU TO BE HAPPY.

You're supposed to enjoy your wedding day. You're supposed to enjoy rollercoasters. You're supposed to be happy to see your baby for the first time. So if you don't... oops!
