Giải thích chi tiết

Hello Dolbie 🤩

Cùng chinh phục câu hỏi này nhé 😁

🎯 Xác định loại từ cần điền:

- Danh từ chỉ người (dựa vào “by a ___ in 1859” → sau giới từ “by” thường là người thực hiện hành động)

▶️ Thông tin cần nghe ở:

“In 1859, a farmer took a group of a dozen or so rabbits…”

☺️ Cùng xem giải thích nhé: Câu hỏi yêu cầu điền chủ thể đã thả thỏ vào năm 1859. Trong bài nghe có cụm “In 1859, a farmer took a group of a dozen or so rabbits... and let them go”. => Từ “farmer” khớp hoàn toàn về nghĩa và ngữ pháp với chỗ trống sau “by a”.

✅ Đáp án đúng: farmer

🧐 DOLBIE lưu ý: ❌ migrants: là danh từ chỉ người và xuất hiện ngay trước “farmer”, nhưng không đúng vì “migrants” là những người đưa thỏ từ Anh sang Úc, chứ không phải người đã thả thỏ ở gần Melbourne. Ngoài ra, đây là danh từ số nhiều, không phù hợp với “a ___” trong câu hỏi.

Chúc Dolbie học tốt và tự tin hơn trong bài thi IELTS nha 🥳💪
