    hdungbeat muốn dịch cả câu hỏi và những chọn lựa khác nhau, hay chỉ dịch câu đúng thôi?

    Nếu làm vậy thì sẽ khó hiểu hơn. Để tôi giải thích thử. Trong câu đầu, nên loại bỏ ra chữ "since" để đơn giản hóa. Bỏ luôn câu "for so few". Thành:

    Never before have so many given so much. Lại đơn giả hơn
    Never have so many given so much.

    Cần đơn giản hòa vì những chữ đó không ảnh hưởng đến câu trả lời mà nhằm cố tình làm khó hiểu. Bạn thử xem có dễ chọn hơn không:


    Never .......... so much.
    1/ have given so many
    2/ have so many given
    3/ so many have given
    4/ given so have many


    Câu thứ nhì cũng vậy: of Carthage are stone boulders strewn across an empty field. Câu này đại ý nói chỉ còn lại những tảng đá. Vậy đơn giản hóa thành: ....are (is) boulders.


    ......are (is) boulders.
    1/ All that vituarlly remains
    2/ All remains that virtually
    3/ That remains virtually
    4/ Virtually that all remains


    đễ hơn hông?

    Yes! I got it. Thx Photon! but I don't know the meaning of the sentence "Never before or since have so many given so much for so few." Hình như câu này của thủ tướng Churchill?

    Never before or since have so many given so much for so few.

    Ý nói là có một biến cố nào đó đã xảy ra. Mà trước đó và sau đó chưa hề có trường hợp mà nhiều người như vậy lại "give [cho, biếu, tặng, ban]" cho một số ít người.

    Nói cách bình dân:

    "Lạ wá, chưa hề thấy số đông giúp số ít nhiều như vậy"
