1/ Don't let a good chance go...
a. on
b. off
c. by
d. over
=> I see no correct option for this test question...

2/ The speaker is very well-acquainted with the subject
=> Is the above sentence natural and correct in meaning?

Hi Nessie,

I would suggest 'chance go by' suggesting that you shouldn't let a good chance pass without making use of it. 'Well acquainted with the subject' suggests you are familiar with it/know it well. It is acceptable.

I think "pass you by" is more common then "go by".
