I would lean the answers A or D, don't ask why. I’m not familiar with French, so I’ll take your word for it. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Quasit 849 Posted January 17, 2021 Author #582 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I'll sum it up that none of us is really sure. That will leave you with the option to gamble and either lose 32,000 points or win 125,000, or you quit with 64,000 points, same as hckosice. Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life.

toulousain 35 Posted January 17, 2021 #586 Share Posted January 17, 2021 For B, C or D, I would expect the name of a famous person in those fields. Walo seems strange, maybe it's a brand. And that's why, with that really weak logic, I'll answer A: show business (and yes, we use the English expression in French) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
