The key to exercise solutions in chapter 4.5 - Lookback for the textbook Speakout Advanced - Students' Book with authors Antonia Clare and J. J. Wilson from Pearson Education
Question
Correct the word order in speaker B's responses.
Answer
If it was up to me I'd have taken the cruise.
I would sooner watch the film than read the book.
I'd just as soon eat local food as dine in a fancy restaurant.
If I found myself in that situation, I'd go to the nearest house and beg for help.
Far better to do that than buy presents for everybody!
That would be by far the best option if you want to see places along the way.
I'd have done the same without a shadow of a doubt.
