Правильный ответ:
A
Перевод:
Прежде чем пароход проплыл 10 минут, я понял, что мисс Браун удивительно скучная (неинтересная) личность.
Пояснение:
That Miss Brown was a bore I realized before the boat had been under way for 10 minutes = то, что мисс Браун скучный человек, я понял прежде, чем пароход пробыл в пути 10 минут
Ten minutes had passed when I realized that Miss Brown was a bore = 10 минут прошло, когда я понял, что мисс Браун скучный человек
Miss Brown had been sailing for 10 minutes when I understood that she was shrewd = мисс Браун плыла уже 10 минут, когда я понял, что она сообразительная
During the voyage Miss Brown looked pretty well and happy = во время плавания мисс Браун выглядела красивой и счастливой
After the ship had sailed ten minutes passed and I noticed that Miss Brown was exclusively dull = после того, как пароход проплыл прошло 10 минут и я заметил, что мисс Браун исключетельно занудная.
