Read the following notes and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct option that best fits each other numbered blanks below.
Elon Musk (6) ________ on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa. From a young age, he showed his interest in technology and taught himself computer programming at the age of 12. He also sold his first software, a video game called Blastar, at the age of 12.
(7) ________ Queen's University in Ontario, Canada in 1995, he was already thinking about his next steps. When he transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, where he was earning degrees in both economics and physics, Musk continued to explore his passions. After completing his studies, Musk moved to California to pursue a Ph.D. in energy physics at Stanford University. However, (8) ________ after just two days to pursue his ambitions.
Musk's first major success came with the creation of Zip2, a software company that provided business directories and maps for newspapers. In 1999, he co-founded X.com, an online payment company that later became PayPal. While (9) ________ well, Musk was already setting his sights on the next project: space exploration. In 2004, Musk founded SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies Corp.), with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. Musk is also the CEO and lead designer of Tesla, Inc., an electric vehicle and clean energy company.

Chỗ trống (8)
A.
he dropped
B.
he dropped out
C.
he was dropped
D.
he was dropped out
Đáp án: <p>he dropped out</p>
Phương pháp giải:
Dựa vào ngữ cảnh trước đó “Musk moved to California to pursue a Ph.D. in energy physics at Stanford University” và phía sau “after just two days to pursue his ambitions”, nhận thấy cần cụm động từ mang nghĩa “bỏ học” và phải ở dạng chủ động.
Lời giải chi tiết:
A. he dropped: ông ấy làm rơi/bỏ => sai vì “drop” khi đứng một mình không diễn đạt đầy đủ nghĩa “bỏ học”.
B. he dropped out: ông ấy bỏ học => đúng vì “drop out” mang nghĩa bỏ học hoặc ngừng tham gia một chương trình học => chọn B.
C. he was dropped: ông ấy bị loại/bị bỏ => sai vì đây là cấu trúc bị động và không diễn đạt việc Musk chủ động từ bỏ chương trình học.
D. he was dropped out: ông ấy bị bỏ học => sai vì “drop out” trong nghĩa “bỏ học” là cụm động từ nội động từ, không dùng ở dạng bị động như phương án này.
Câu hoàn chỉnh: However, he dropped out after just two days to pursue his ambitions.
(Tuy nhiên, ông đã bỏ học chỉ sau hai ngày để theo đuổi những hoài bão của mình.)
