To complete the dialogue, we need to choose the most appropriate options for each blank. Let's go through each option and select the correct ones.
(a) The most appropriate option to complete the dialogue would be (i) Did you sleep?
This is because the landlady is asking Mr. Maxim Gorky about his well-being, and "Did you sleep well?" is a common question to ask to inquire about someone's rest or sleep.
(b) The most appropriate option to complete the dialogue would be (ii) kept me awake.
This is because bugs that keep someone awake are referred to as pests, and the phrase "kept me awake" accurately describes this situation.
(c) The most appropriate option to complete the dialogue would be (i) cannot.
This is because the landlady is expressing her disbelief that there are bugs in her inn, so saying "You cannot find a single bug here" implies that she believes the inn is bug-free.
(d) The most appropriate option to complete the dialogue would be (ii) are single.
This is because Mr. Maxim Gorky humorously remarks that the bugs in the inn are not single but married with large families. Using "are single" fits the context of his response.
So, the correct options to complete the dialogue are:
(a) (i) Did you sleep?
(b) (ii) kept me awake.
(c) (i) cannot.
(d) (ii) are single.
