во * вчерашнем тесте был правильным 2-й вариант:

surely - definitely - exactly. разница

под катом - толкования из словаря и мое объяснение на русском.

You use definitely to emphasize that something is the case,
or to emphasize the strength of your intention or opinion.
I'm definitely going to get in touch with these people...
`I think the earlier ones are a lot better.'—`Mm, definitely.'

If something has been definitely decided, the decision will not be changed.
He told them that no venue had yet been definitely decided.

You use surely to emphasize that you think something should be true,
and you would be surprised if it was not true.
You're an intelligent woman, surely you realize by now that I'm helping you...
If I can accept this situation, surely you can.

If something will surely happen or is surely the case, it will
certainly happen or is certainly the case. (FORMAL)
He knew that under the surgeon's knife he would surely die...
He is an artist, just as surely as Rembrandt or any other first-rate portrait painter is one.

definitely показывает, что выполнение действия определяется лишь нашей волей.
surely подразумевает, что наружные обстоятельства складываются в нашу пользу.


You use exactly before an amount, number, or position to emphasize that
it is no more, no less, or no different from what you are stating.
Each corner had a guard tower, each of which was exactly ten meters in height...
Agnew's car pulled into the driveway at exactly five o'clock... = precisely

If you say `Exactly', you are agreeing with someone or emphasizing
the truth of what they say. If you say `Not exactly', you are telling them politely
that they are wrong in part of what they are saying.
Eve nodded, almost approvingly. `Exactly.'...
`And you refused?'—'Well, not exactly. I couldn't say yes.'

You use not exactly to indicate that a meaning or situation is
slightly different from what people think or expect.
He's not exactly homeless, he just hangs out in this park.


переведите. Если яйцо разбивается наружной силой, жизнь заканчивается.
Если яйцо разбивается внутренней силой, тогда жизнь начинается. (с)

* end - finish. разница

* три волшебных слова, открывающие почти все английские двери
* насколько часто сейчас употребляется глагол Shall * can - be able. разница
* That's Me, Him, Her... в подписях к фотографиям
* problem - trouble - concern - issue. разница

If egg cracked... но здесь должен быть пассивный залог.

If an egg gets broken by outer force, life ends.
If an egg gets broken by inner force, life begins.

в данном случае "сила" - исчисляема:

In physics, a force is the pulling or pushing effect that something has on something else.
...the earth's gravitational force.
...protons and electrons trapped by magnetic forces in the Van Allen belts.

а так верно.
