Đáp án đúng: D
(AI giải đề cho tôi)
Câu gốc: 'The film is not perfect. Its abrupt ending spoils it.' — phim không hoàn hảo vì cái kết đột ngột làm hỏng phim. Cấu trúc 'But for + N, S + would + V' (điều kiện loại 2, diễn đạt 'nếu không có...'): 'But for its abrupt ending, the film would be perfect' = 'Nếu không có cái kết đột ngột, phim đã hoàn hảo' — đúng nghĩa và đúng ngữ pháp. A sai nghĩa (kết thúc đột ngột lại làm phim hoàn hảo). B sai nghĩa (nếu kết thúc đột ngột thì không hoàn hảo — ngược logic, vì phim hiện đã kết thúc đột ngột và không hoàn hảo). C sai thì và sai nghĩa ('Unless the film ends abruptly, it won't be perfect' = nếu không kết thúc đột ngột thì sẽ không hoàn hảo — ngược với ý gốc). Đáp án khớp với đáp án nguồn: D (source answer key: 49-D).
