ARE WOMEN MORE ROMANTIC THAN MEN?
In most lines of the text below thre is one unnecessary word. It is either grammatically iincorrect or does not fit in with the sense of the text. For each line, find the unnecessary word. Some lines are correct! There are two examples in the beggining.
1. It's a subject that will probably be debated until the end of time, but
2. on the evidence proven available to date psychologists tend to feel
3. just that women do not fall in love as readily as men do.
4. Also, women seem to fall out of they love more quickly and suffer
5. less of long-term distress than men after a break-up.
6. Why this should be so it is also a controversial question about which
7. psychologists have differing opinions. One view contends that in
8. cultures where a woman is allowed how to choose a mate,
9. as opposed to the family organised arranging a marriage, the woman must look out for
10. her own best interests. She seeks the man who is best be able to
11. provide for her and their future children. Some psychologists think
12. that this may explain why it is not uncommon for the women to be
13. attracted to regard men with power - physical, financial or social. Men,
14. by contrast, are prone to fall in love themselves very quickly and be
15. much less critical than women of the qualities of the person they
16. love. According to one study, men are so far more likely than women to
17. believe in 'love at the first sight' and that 'true love comes along
18. just once in life'.
ANSWERS:
1. OK 2. proven 3. just 4. they 5. of 6. it 7. OK 8. how 9. organised
10. be 11. OK 12. the 13. regard 14. themselves 15. OK 16. so 17. the 18. OK
