Task 10. Choose the correct form of the verb to complete each sentence in the text below.

Some people think that to have a successful life you (a. have / b. are having) to obtain university education, while others think it’s not that important. Some individuals (a. argue / b. are arguing) that people can succeed even without university education. It is true that there (a. exist / b. are existing) some successful people who have not attended university or drop out of college. This can be best illustrated with the example of the great businessman Bill Gates, who, though (a. dropping out / b. is dropping out) of Harvard, has ever become the wealthiest person in the world. However, not everyone can (a. becoming / b. become) another bill gates. As ordinary persons, we would be well-advised (a. attending / b. to attend) university to gain knowledge and skills as well as the degree and certificate that are still very essential for us to get a good job.

Task 11. Make up the questions to the underlined words in the text of the previous task (Task 10).
