KEY B: have a narrow escape = be nearly hurt: thiếu chút nữa là gặp nguy hiểm, thoát nạn

Đáp án D

Ta thấy sau chỗ trống là một động từ nguyên mẫu (leave) nên có thể dựa vào cách chia động từ mà loại bớt các đáp án.

1. unless đi với mệnh đề hoặc Ving/p.p

2. instead of đi với Ving / N

3. than dùng trong so sánh, phía trước phải có so sánh hơn

Như vậy thì cả 3 chọn lựa trên đều bị loại
but: ngoại trừ

Last Sunday was definitely not a good day for me. It all started when I got into my car and it refused to start. I immediately realised that I had left the lights on and the battery had gone flat. I telephoned my friend George and he came round and helped me start the car. I then drove into town to see a friend. I had arranged to meet him at six thirty, but by the time I got there, it was ten past seven and my friend was not there. I waited for him for an hour despite the freezing weather, but he didn’t come. When I returned to my car, I saw that someone had broken into it, probably looking for the radio. Luckily , I never leave the radio in the car ! There was nothing I could do but get into my car and drive home. Later I spoke with my friend and discovered that he had waited for only half an hour and left. He didn’t even apologise for not waiting for me longer.
