În Part 1 ai reținut perechile ca blocuri (adjective + preposition). 

În Part 2 facem un upgrade: **alegi prepoziția în funcție de ce vrei să transmiți.**

### 1) „Same adjective, different preposition” (diferențe de mesaj)

### ***\-*responsible *for*** vs **responsible *to***

- **responsible for** \= responsabil pentru rezultat/efect/ceva produs  
*She’s responsible for the budget.*
- **responsible to** \= responsabil în fața cuiva (raportare/autoritate)  
*She’s responsible to the director.*

### **\-angry *about***vs **angry *with / at***

- **angry about** \= supărat din cauza unui lucru/situații  
*He’s angry about the decision.*
- **angry with / at** \= supărat pe o persoană (mai ales)  
*He’s angry with me.* / *He’s angry at his boss.*

### **\-good *at***vs **good *with***

- **good at** \= abilitate (skill)  
*She’s good at explaining grammar.*
- **good with** \= „se descurcă bine cu” oameni/lucruri (handling)  
*She’s good with teenagers.* / *good with numbers*

*(Nu e o regulă universală, dar e o distincție foarte utilă.)*

### 2) Nu reține liste. Reține „familii” (și nu mai greșești)

- **to-*family***\= reacție/tendință: *prone / immune / resistant to*
- **of-*family***\= capacitate/conștiență/atașament: *capable / aware / proud of*
- **with-*family***\= potrivire/coerență: *compatible / consistent with*
- **on-*family***\= dependență: *dependent on*
- **for-*family***\= cauză/rezultat: *famous / responsible for*

## Challenge practice 

### A) Alege prepoziția corectă (unele au două variante posibile — alege cea mai naturală în context)

1. I’m not aware \_\_\_ any changes to the plan.
2. The conclusion isn’t consistent \_\_\_ the evidence.
3. She’s responsible \_\_\_ ensuring the team delivers on time.
4. He’s responsible \_\_\_ the CEO, not the project manager.
5. I’m angry \_\_\_ the way the meeting was handled.
6. I’m angry \_\_\_ him for cancelling at the last minute.
7. This version isn’t compatible \_\_\_ older devices.
8. He’s dependent \_\_\_ his parents financially.
9. She’s proud \_\_\_ what her students achieved.
10. Some people are more prone \_\_\_ anxiety when they’re sleep-deprived.
11. I’ve never been particularly good \_\_\_ small talk.
12. She’s good \_\_\_ kids, even difficult groups.

**Răspunsuri (A):**

1. **of**
2. **with**
3. **for**
4. **to**
5. **about**
6. **with** (și „at” poate apărea, dar „with” e foarte natural aici)
7. **with**
8. **on**
9. **of**
10. **to**
11. **at**
12. **with**

### B) Upgrade: rescrie fără să schimbi sensul:

1. *She can handle difficult clients calmly.* → (capable of)
2. *This report matches the data from last month.* → (consistent with)
3. *He relies on caffeine to get through the afternoon.* → (dependent on)
4. *They don’t react to criticism easily.* → (immune/resistant to — alege sensul)
5. *He often gets stressed under pressure.* → (prone to)

**Sugestii de răspuns (B):**

1. *She’s capable of handling difficult clients calmly.*
2. *This report is consistent with the data from last month.*
3. *He’s dependent on caffeine to get through the afternoon.*
4. *They’re resistant to criticism.* / *They’re not immune to criticism.* (diferență: resistant = se opun; not immune = sunt afectați)
5. *He’s prone to stress under pressure.*
