4.) Don't get married if you believe that familiarity breeds contempt.
5.) WiFi should be available to everyone without cost since the internet has become a vital part of our lives.
6.) You must obey her because she if your mother

Answer 2

Go through each sentence and look for the indicator! The indicators should be able to tell you right off the bat what the type of assumption is!

Answer 3

For example number 1
1.) Until you buy me a diamond, I won't know that you love me!
-------------------------------------
The indicators you have to choose from are:
Because
Therefore
Since
On account of
Unless
-------------------------------------
In this sentence, which word sounds more like the ones from the list in CONTEXT (this is an important aspect)?
Until, sounds like Unless. Both have the context saying "this must happen first".
The indicator Unless is associated with being a reservation. Thus number 1 is most likely a reservation.

Answer 4
