Ответ: Professor Higgins, who 1).. was awarded… (award) a major science prize
last month, 2) was invited (invite) to take part in a conference which 3) was
held (hold) in London
last week. He 4) was met (meet) at the airport by a driver who, unfortunately,
5) had been given (give) the name of the wrong hotel to take the professor
to. A large reception 6) had been organized (organise) for the professor, and
at least 200 eminent scientists 7)had been invited (invite) to meet him
that evening. The poor professor, however 8) was left (leave) at a small
hotel in a rather bad area, and when he asked to speak to the Head of the
Conference Committee he 9) was told (tell) to try somewhere else because
he 10) had not been heard of (not/hear of) there.
Luckily, later that evening, the driver 11) was sent (send) to the hotel where
the reception 12) was being held (hold), and when he 13) was asked (ask) what
he had done with the professor, everyone realised that a mistake 14) had been
made. (make)
The professor says that if he 15) is ever sent (ever/send) another invitation
to a conference, he hopes it 16) will be organized (organise) more efficiently.
Всё отлично.
