<!-- (Audio) James: I realized we didn't update the database credentials after the last security patch. Lisa: Ah, so the credentials were the issue. --> <!-- SPEAKING -->

--instructions--

Listen to the audio and answer the question below.

--questions--

--text--

After these lines, Lisa then asks James if he solved the problem. How could she ask that in a brief way?

--answers--

Did you fix the credentials that were causing the issue?

--audio-id--

ENd90cdb33

--feedback--

That is indeed what she wants to know, but she asks a much shorter question than this one.


Did you fix them?

--audio-id--

ENbc40e707

--video-solution--

2

--explanation--

When talking about something you already mentioned before, you can use it to replace it if it is a singular noun or them if it is a plural noun to avoid repetition. For example:

  • You were looking for a car to buy. Did you buy it? - It is used instead of the car in the question.

  • How were your tests last week? Did you do well on all of them? - Them replaces your tests here.
