Kunci jawaban
- The envelope had been forwarded three times, so the postmark was almost impossible to read.'Had been' diringkas: 'd-been'. 'Postmark' ditekan pada suku kata pertama: POST-mark.
- Mina knew the handwriting at once, and her hands began to shake before she had even opened it.'At once' disambung menjadi 'a-twunce'. 'Had' diucapkan lemah dalam 'she had even': 'she'd even'.
- It was from her sister, who had left home years earlier and never explained why she had stopped writing.'Who had' diucapkan lemah, hampir 'who'd'. 'Stopped' berakhir dengan bunyi t: 'stopt-writing'.
- Rather than an apology, the letter offered a plain description of a quiet life by the sea.'Rather than' memperkenalkan kontras. 'Description of a' disambung menjadi 'descripshun-of-a'.
- Mina went through it twice, folded it carefully, and began to write a reply that would not be delayed.'Went through it' berarti membacanya dengan teliti; diucapkan menyambung 'wen-throo-it'. 'That would not be delayed' adalah klausa relatif dengan kata kerja pasif.
