В контексте размышлений о возможном возврате заданий 5 уровня хочется напомнить еще и о блоке ЦТ, который входил в его состав с самого начала, А46-47. Формально он относился к блоку Чтение, но относительно легко выполнялся и без вдумчивого прочтения предложенных текстов. Как правило, слова которые нужно заменить синонимами были слишком сложны для большинства участников ЦТ. Относительным лайфхаком можно считать следующий способ выполнения данного типа упражнений: если заменяемое слово не известно, то просто выбираем из имеющихся без попытки установить логическое соответствие. В 80% случаев этого достаточно.
