1. Are you going to have a rest tonight? You look tired. You have read so much.

10. We had a lot of fun last summer. We went to Croatia by car and took a lot of photos.
- The Simple Past tense is used to talk about actions that took place at a specific time in the past.
- The action is over and does not present an evident connection with the present moment.
- Common time expressions used with the Simple Past tense are: <u>yesterday, last week, last month, last years, a couple of days ago, three years ago</u>, etc.
- Example: I saw you at the party last night.
- The Present Perfect tense is used to talk about actions that happened or started to happen in the past and still have a connection with the present moment.
- The Present Perfect implies an "until now". Something has or has not been done, until now.
- It is commonly used with: <u>yet, already, just, and never.</u>
- Time expressions that indicate the present, such as "today" or "this week" are also commonly used with the Present Perfect.
Example: I haven't seen Josh today. What do you think he is up to?

Answer:
C. Many athletes might have decided not to attend the Olympics if they were held as scheduled.
Explanation:
So, some basic information we can pick from here are:
- Olympics were supposed to start on July 24th.
- Officials (represented by Mr. Bach) still haven't made the final decision on whether the Olympics will be held.
- National sport federations and athletes are in favor of postponing.
So, from this, we can see that A. isn't the right answer (the decision still hasn't been made at the time).
Also, B. is wrong since on that date the Olypmics should start and not some small celebration.
Regarding answer D. there are simply no evidence to support this claim in this excerpt.
Finally, answer C. can be supported by the claim that sport federation and athletes fought for postponing the Games. If the officials decided against the postponing, athletes most likely wouldn't participate in the Olympics.
