Ответ от учителя
Sentence a matches with the sentence «I woke up to a loud noise.» This is because both sentences indicate that there was a sudden noise that disrupted the speaker’s sleep or morning routine. In sentence a, the speaker was in the process of getting up when they heard a crash, suggesting that the noise was unexpected and possibly alarming. Similarly, in the sentence above, the speaker woke up to a loud noise, indicating that they were also startled by the sudden sound.
2. I couldn’t sleep because of the noise outside.
Sentence b matches with the sentence «The neighbors were having a party.» This is because both sentences suggest that there was a disturbance outside that prevented the speaker from sleeping. In sentence b, the noise is specifically attributed to the neighbors having a party, indicating that the source of the noise is known. Similarly, in the sentence above, the speaker is unable to sleep due to a noise outside, suggesting that there is some kind of activity or event happening nearby that is causing the disturbance.
