---
2. We only started school ________ and today we have a test.

✔️ Picture: E (Man giving flower to woman — romantic planning)
*Explanation:* “Then” refers to a future time after a previous event — they’re making plans for later. Picture E fits a couple making plans.
---
4. It’s been raining continuously ________ early this morning.

✔️ Picture: I (Rain pouring outside window — continuous rain)

---
8. “________ we marry, I will quit my job.” “Let’s not get married, yet.”

✔️ Picture: E (Couple again — marriage discussion)
*Explanation:* The speaker says they’ll quit *before* marriage. The response “Let’s not get married, yet” confirms the timing is premature.
---
9. “Let’s hunt chickens, ________.” “No. I promised to babysit the cubs.”
→ B) tonight
✔️ Picture: J (Foxes — one holding flower, maybe planning evening activity)
