4 1 the atmosphere certainly
didn’t disappoint, far from
bland: using negatives with a
positive meaning for emphasis
2 extremely, certainly,
pleasantly, perfectly, just,
literally: a wide range of
adverbs give emphasis, make
the review more interesting
and add impact
here because it’s unnecessary
to mention the waiter
4 I’d always avoided, I’d
heard: past perfect is used
because the writer is talking
about her expectations before
visiting the restaurant
