Question 1: Isaac Newton (1643-1727) and Albert Einstein (1897-1955) are regarded as two of the most important scientists of all (1) __________.
A. times (noun, plural): thời đại, quãng thời gian
B. time (noun): thời gian
C. men (noun, plural): đàn ông, con người nam giới
D. world (noun): thế giới
Giải thích: Để chọn đúng, trước hết cần nhìn vào cụm cố định trong câu gốc. Ở đây câu viết: “two of the most important scientists of all ___”. Sau “of all” trong kiểu câu này, tiếng Anh thường dùng cụm cố định “of all time” để diễn đạt nghĩa “trong toàn bộ lịch sử”, “mọi thời đại”. Đây là cách nói rất quen thuộc khi đánh giá một người là vĩ đại bậc nhất trong lịch sử của một lĩnh vực. Vì vậy chỗ trống cần một danh từ tạo thành đúng cụm cố định, và đáp án đúng là “time”.
Đáp án: B
