Đáp án D
Kiến thức về liên từ
Xét các đáp án:
A. As (conj): khi; bởi vì
B. Although + clause: mặc dù
C. Unless: trừ khi, nếu không… (dùng trong câu điều kiện)
D. Once (conj): ngay khi mà, một khi mà; kể từ thời điểm khi mà...
*Ở đây ta cân phân biệt hai liên từ "as" và "once". Khi dịch nghĩa ra, chúng có vẻ tương đương nhau, nhưng ở đây cần hiểu bản chất của nó thì ta sẽ thấy sự khác biệt trong cách dùng của chúng:
+ As: khi là một liên từ, bản chất nghĩa của nó là "during the time that: trong suốt một khoảng thời gian nào đó" => nó mang tính tiếp diễn trong một quá trình hơn là nhất quán tại một thời điểm nhất định
+ Once: khi là một liên từ, nó mang bản chất nghĩa là "as soon as: ngay khi" hoặc là "from the moment when: kể từ thời điểm khi mà" => nó mang tính khẩn cấp hơn một chút, và hành động sau nó sẽ mang tính nhất quán tại một thời điểm nào đó thay vì kéo dài trong cả một quá trình
=> Xét trong câu, hành động "nghĩ về việc bây giờ mình đang ở đâu, mình muốn gì", nó thể hiện hàm ý diễn tả hành động mang tính nhất quán và khẩn cấp vì hành động đó một khi xảy ra thì nó sẽ chỉ nhất quán tại một thời điểm nhất định, không hề có tính tiếp diễn để dùng "as" như đáp án A.
Tạm dịch: Một khi bạn đã nghĩ về việc bây giờ mình đang ở đâu và mình muốn gì thì bạn có thể dành thời gian để hiểu thêm nhiều hơn về những kĩ năng, mối quan tâm và những giá trị của riêng mình.
Cấu trúc khác cần lưu ý:
Work on sth/doing sth (phr.v): dành thời gian để tu sửa, cải thiện cái gì hay làm gì

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
In “How many hours does it take to make a friend?” (2018), Jeffrey A. Hall describes the types of encounters that build a friendship.
His study found that hours of time spent together was linked with closer friendships, as was time spent enjoying leisure activities together. Specifically, he found that the chance of making a “casual friend,” as opposed to a mere acquaintance, was greater than 50 percent when people spent approximately 43 hours together within three weeks of meeting. He further found that casual friends evolve into friends at some point between 57 hours after three weeks, and 164 hours over three months. Hall's research also demonstrated, however, that when it comes to time spent developing friendships, quality is more important than quantity. And when it comes to conversation, topics matter. When it comes to building quality relationships, the duration of conversation is not as important as the content. Meaningful conversation is the key to bonding with others.
Hall found that when it comes to developing friendships, sharing daily life through catching up and joking around promotes closeness; small talk does not. Consider the inane topics that often come up when you are trapped in an elevator with an acquaintance. Discussing the weather or speculating on how many stops you will make before finally reaching the lobby does not facilitate bonding. Nor does mere proximity. Hall found that obligatory time spent together, such as in a classroom or workplace, does not promote closeness. Friendships require an efficient use of time together. Someone who remembers the details of your life and asks questions about your family, your job, your latest vacation, etc., is much more likely on his or her way to becoming someone you consider a friend, as opposed to an acquaintance.
