            1. He changed this one. It\u2019s unlikely many of the learners have been to Sweden.<\/li>\n
            2. He changed this one. It\u2019s unlikely many of the learners have seen a polar bear.<\/li>\n
            3. He changed this one. It\u2019s unlikely many of the learners have seen the Eiffel Tower.<\/li>\n
            4. This was OK. Some students have very likely eaten sushi, but possibly not all.<\/li>\n
            5. This was OK. Some students have probably ridden a motorbike, but not all.<\/li>\n
            6. He changed this one. It\u2019s unlikely many of the learners have been in a helicopter.<\/li>\n
            7. This was OK. It\u2019s possible that a few students have worked in a caf\u00e9.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n
