- B. It may take one and half days to a cure.
- C. It may take to cure one and a half days.
- D. It may take a one and half days to cure.
Answer: A. The question tests correct word order and the expression for a duration of one and a half days.

- B. I would win she bet his heart.
- C. I bet she would win his heart.
- D. She would win I bet his heart.
Answer: C. The question tests word order in a sentence. “I bet she would win his heart” has the subject and verb in the right order and means the speaker thinks she would make him fall in love. A is wrong because its word order does not form a clear sentence; B is wrong because “she bet his heart” does not express the intended meaning; D is wrong because the words are in the wrong order.

- B. From elsewhere is the town full of unfriendly people.

Answer: D. The key idea is putting the words in a clear English order. D is correct: “The town” is the subject, “is full of” describes it, and “unfriendly people from elsewhere” completes the sentence. A puts “unfriendly” next to “full” in the wrong order; B uses an awkward reversed order; C incorrectly says the people make up the town.
