Перевод задания: Подчеркните правильный вариант.

1. Mary rarely agrees with her friend’s views, but this doesn’t affect their friendship. (Мэри редко соглашается с мнением подруги, но это не влияет на их дружбу.) «Agree with» употребляется в значении «соглашаться с мнением».
2. Jane and George got married in the States, so many of their relatives from Scotland found it difficult to be there for the wedding. (Джейн и Джордж поженились в Штатах, поэтому многим их родственникам из Шотландии было трудно приехать на свадьбу.)
3. Tony is of Italian origin, but he grew up in England. (Тони итальянского происхождения, но вырос в Англии.)
4. They wanted to have a very small and quiet wedding, so they only invited members of their immediate families and very few friends. (Они хотели устроить очень маленькую и тихую свадьбу, поэтому пригласили только ближайших родственников и очень мало друзей.)
5. He’s always picking fights with his neighbours! It’s difficult to make friends with him! (Он постоянно затевает ссоры с соседями! С ним трудно подружиться!) Устойчивое выражение — «pick a fight».
