Fill the gaps in Mr Darcy’s letter to Elizabeth with the correct words - A, B, C or D.
Dear Miss Bennet,
Do not be (1) afraid, this is not another proposal of marriage. You must (2) read this letter. You
are angry about Mr Bingley and your sister. You are also angry about Mr Wickham. I have some
(3) things to say about both. First of all, I would like to explain (4) about Mr Bingley.
When I was in Netherfield, I realised that Mr Bingley (5) liked your sister very much. On the
evening of the Netherfield ball, I saw that Charles (6) was in love with your sister. While you and
I were (7) dancing, Sir William Lucas (8) spoke to us. He said that Charles Bingley and your sister
were going to get (9) married. Everyone obviously thought this. I watched your sister for the
rest of the evening. She smiled a lot, she was open and she was happy, but I saw no evidence
that she was in love (10) with Charles. You said yesterday that she was very unhappy. I’m sorry
about this. Perhaps I was wrong…
