cover / blanket / sheet / carpet (trial ZNO 2019)
Hello!
One more question thta I am unable to answer. I am frustrated actually that I can't answer it, though I live in English, eat in English, drink in English. English is everywhere in my life although I live in Ukraine.
To cut the long story short.
"As much as a third of the total tree _______ has been lost since agriculture began some 10,000 years ago."
A cover
B blanket
C sheet
D carpet
My take on. It's definitely not carper. I know sheet = a large flat area of ice or water spread over a surface. So it is a possibility as well as "cover" (the word we use in Ukrainian and Russian here). blanket if translated into Ukrainian we would use it when talking about snow. My guess would be sheet or cover. I would probably choose "sheet", though I am frustrated I am not 100% sure which one should I choose. What do I have to do to be able to answer these questions easily?

Tree cover

I personally think it is one of the three other than cover. But to make sure try googling all four, one will come up in like a million searches and would be the right one.

for some reason "tree cover" just sounds right to me.
Have you heard of Google's ngram? you can use it to check which version of words/phrases is used more often.
I tried using that. And there's not even a single result for the other combinations. Only for "tree cover."

I agree with Diana's comment, "Cover" is the correct answer.
