If she keeps her word,you should trust her.
Why you said I don’t trust her?
agadir
(I don’t trust her. She RARELY keeps her word)
you can’t trust her because it’s rare when she keeps her word …
Be careful with the word RARELY

Hello dear Alex.
Thank you so much for your instructive classes.
In the question number 10 I can’t get the meaning. Wouldn’t it be more meaningful if it were “I would appreciate it if you keep me in mind for the…”, or maybe it is interpretable based on some context which I’m not aware of?
Ali.H.S
