Since “eligible” is an adjective, you need to use a verb and “are” is thel best choice.
*grant n. 赐予的钱或物
*eligible adj. 合格的 (for)
Question 32
The scheme defines ways of meeting the business’s language needs (32)……relating its product or service to the overseas market.
Thel correct answer to fill in the gap is “by”.
*relate sth. to sth.: if you relate two different things, you show how they are connected
e.g. The report seeks to relate the rise in crime to an increase in unemployment. Questions 33 & 34
There are two stages: the first stage, (33)……lasts half a day, gives employers an understanding of the issues involved in exporting and briefs (34)……on local language and export information centres.
In thel gap numbered 33, it needs a word to modify the former object. So you should use the word “which”.
In the gap numbered 34, here the answer is “focused”.l
Questions 35 & 36
The second, three-day stage provides expert advice on competing effectively (35)……overseas markets. A specialist in exports and language use analyses the firm’s language needs and produces a plan (36)……developing strategies.
We always use the collocation of “in thel market”. So “in” is the correct answer for question 35. “For” is the correct answer for question 36.
Questions 37 & 38
Strategies that might (37)……considered include establishing on-line or phone links with an interpreting company, hiring a native of particular country on a contract basis, advertising for someone (38)……fluency in a particular language, and locating a foreign student on placement or at a local business school.
The answers for the two questionsl are “be” and “with”.
*placement n. 人员的安插，工作安排
Questions 39 & 40
Such people might help the boss to (39)……up a stand at a business exhibition in a foreign city, as (40)……as handle the paperwork and deal with clients. It is hoped that many small businesses all over the world will benefit this idea in the future.
The correct collocation is “set up”.l So the answer is “set”. The answer for question 40 is “well”.
