I answer:
1. D.
7. D.
Such task usually are widely discussed in the Internet and a lot of answers are published. But no official answer keys.
These two cases trouble me a lot. Because my variant differs from what I can find while browsing the net. The most popular and/or common answer is A in both cases.
My reasoning:
1. day - daily - it's repetitive and clumsy. Routine can be used without 'daily' and it perfectly collocates with 'traditional'.
7. to come through - to successfully do or complete something that you have promised to do.
come upon - (formal) to meet or find somebody/something by chance.
come across somebody/something - to meet or find somebody/something by chance.
Formal style is not suitable, discard it.
Well, come across is suitable.
Could you tell me whether my variants are correct or not?
