Đáp án A

Câu này dịch như sau: ông chủ rất tức giận vì cô thư ký đi làm trễ.

A. Thư ký đi làm trễ, điều này làm ông chủ tức giận.

B. Thư ký đi làm trễ gây ra sự tức giận. => loại, vì hai mệnh đề không cùng chủ ngữ nên không được rút gọn về dạng Ving (causing)

C. Việc thư ký đi làm trễ chọc tức ông chủ. => loại, vì ngữ cảnh đề bài ở thì quá khứ đơn nhưng đáp án lại ở hiện tại đơn (annoys)

D. Ông chủ đã không đồng ý việc đi làm trễ của thư ký. => câu này chưa sát nghĩa với đề bài => loại

Đáp án C.

Tạm dịch: Anh ấy tức giận vì thư ký của anh đến chỗ làm muộn.

+ Loại đáp án A vì dùng sai mệnh đề quan hệ. Đáp án đúng; His secretary WHO came late to work made him annoyed.

+ Loại đáp án B vì từ "annoying" có nghĩa là đáng ghét, làm người khác tức giận. Ở đây là phải tìm tính từ mang nghĩa là cảm thấy tức giận, giận dữ → annoyed.

+ Loại đáp án D vi từ “Object to (v)” (chống đối. phản đối. không thích điều gì) luôn đi trước một danh từ hoặc cụm danh từ. Do đó việc kết hợp với một mệnh đề như đáp án D là sai.

Ex: I object to the death penalty: Tôi phản đối án từ hình.

+ Đáp án C chính xác vì cụm "coming late to work" là một động danh từ (gerund) (Khi động từ thêm đuôi -ing thì nó mang chức năng một danh từ.)

Ex: Being late results in many problems: việc đi muộn dẫn đến nhiều vấn đề.
