What it is: You link two parts: a sentence ending, a heading, a question or a statement from a list. The list has extra options.
The instruction on the paper: Choisissez la fin appropriée de la liste pour terminer chaque phrase. → Choose the suitable ending from the list to finish each sentence.
Example: Choisissez la fin appropriée.: Après dix ans passés à Paris comme ingénieure, Léa a tout quitté pour reprendre la ferme de ses grands-parents dans le Jura. Elle n’avait aucune formation agricole : elle a appris le métier auprès des voisins, puis grâce à une formation en ligne. Les deux premières années ont été difficiles, notamment à cause de la sécheresse. Aujourd’hui, elle produit un fromage vendu dans trois épiceries de la région et accueille des élèves pour leur faire découvrir la vie à la ferme.

Choisissez la fin appropriée de la liste pour terminer chaque phrase.

Les débuts de Léa à la ferme…

A. ont été faciles grâce à sa formation d’ingénieure.

B. ont été compliqués par le manque de pluie.

C. ont été financés par trois épiceries.

D. ont attiré beaucoup d’élèves.
