TOEIC Part 5, Part 6, Part 7
Part 1 photographs and Part 2 questions live on prepositions of place, and a single one decides the answer: a box beside the desk is not a box beneath it. Directions work the same way — head towards, go past, on your left-hand side, opposite, adjacent to. These are cheap points, and they are lost by candidates who never learned the difference between among and between.
