No Muriel, your answers are definitely wrong.
George may not be able to attend the conference. His boss hasn't given him permission...
It's a problem of permission -> may; "can't" and "be able to" are twins -> pure repetition.

This can't be a library. There aren't any books.
It's 100% sure it's not a library, no possibility.

OK Thanks Muriel.
In American, "football" is American football, not "soccer" (football association).
I think that in Australia, they often say football for "rugby football" tho' there's an Australian football (which is very violent).

Hi Gérard
I had to search for shut out
In team sports, a shutout (US) or clean sheet (UK) is a game in which one team prevents the other from scoring any points. While possible in most major sports, they are highly improbable in some sports, such as basketball. In football the team with most clean sheets conceded is the best defensive team.[1]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutout

Thanks for the words Muriel.
I didn't know about ShO tho' I went lots of times to baseball when my son was playing at good level (till the Quarters of the French Championship)... I could see two or three officials filling scoresheets with oodles of writings used for statistics but never watched (these officials were trained).

The scoresheets are very simple in France for French sports such as tennis (usually the names of players of both teams with licence numbers and the result of the match.
In the US (also in Oz, also in France for American sports such as Baseball) the scoresheets are very detailed and show the actions of any players... we sometimes hear about detailed performances for international basketball matches (we hear about the number of points, the number of rebounds, the number of decisive passes, etc.)
