Hi,

I'm not sure which options would best fit the sentences. Could you please, pick the choices you are happy with ?

Quote:
a. Andrew's attempts to get into the swimming team have not (1. concluded 2. met 3. been met) with much success

b. I thought there was a (1. touch 2. shadow) of jealousy in his reaction to my good fortune

Thanks !

Hi,

I would suggest have not met with much success, which is a sort of understatement for 'have failed'.

My other preference would be a touch of jealousy meaning 'a litlle bit of jealousy.'
