(1)妈妈一直和她以前的同学保持联系。
(2)我用绳子把所有的珠子联系在一起。
(3)他们前几天吵架,联系越来越差了。
(4)朋友之间好好联系,共同解决问题。
Explanation
(1) "保持联系" (bǎo chí lián xì) is a standard and grammatically correct collocation meaning "to keep in touch/contact." (2) "联系" is not typically used for physically tying objects together; "连接" (lián jiē) or "串" (chuàn) would be more appropriate. (3) While "联系" can refer to a relationship, "关系越来越差了" (the relationship got worse) is a more natural phrasing than "联系越来越差了" for the deteriorating quality of a relationship. (4) "好好联系" is grammatically acceptable and means to maintain good communication/contact, but (1) uses a very common fixed phrase and is unequivocally correct.
Q14
MCQ

(3)小丽在演讲时,同学们七嘴八舌地听。
(4)升旗礼时,同学们七嘴八舌地唱国歌。
Explanation
"七嘴八舌" (qī zuǐ bā shé) is an idiom meaning "all talking at once" or "a babel of voices." (1) "七嘴八舌地开始讨论" (started discussing all at once) fits well, as discussions can involve multiple people talking simultaneously. (3) "七嘴八舌地听" is contradictory, as one cannot talk all at once while listening. Options (2) and (4) also do not fit the chaotic nature of the idiom.
