Answer
1. I have a lot of business trips annually.
The question asks about whether someone likes travelling. The idea in the
answer does not relate with what the question asks about.
2. Yes, I love my family very much.
The gist of the question is about whether families have a close relationship.
This answer does not show it.
3. It is very interesting to travel in my city because of its breathtaking
sceneries.
Although the thought of the answer somehow touches travelling, this is not
the correct answer since the question asks about the accessibility of the
places in the hometown when someone goes there.
4. I don’t like staying in my hometown for good because of the lack of
employment opportunities.
The question asks about the advantages not disadvantages. This answer
speaks of the downsides.
5. Yes, I’ve been to many places, and those were very memorable.
The question asks about the best place visited. This does not specify the place’s
name.
