3. Second Row Left Box

4. Second Row Right Box
* Sentence: "Hi! I'm Lisa. I'm a student at a high school in Leeds........... have to wear uniforms at my school."

* b. pupils (students)
* c. teachers (teach the students)
* d. headmasters (run the school)

* Analysis: To be successful in exams, you need to study your subjects again and again.
* Options:
* a. use (to utilize)
* b. revise (to study again; review)

6. Third Row Right Box

* Analysis: The sentence compares how two people study (one likes silence, one likes noise). These are their personal ways of doing things.
* Options:
* a. programs (courses)
* b. pastime (hobby)
* c. technique (method)
* d. habits (regular practices)
* Conclusion: "Habits" fits best because it refers to the regular ways they behave when studying.

7. Bottom Left Box
* Sentence: "High schools may offer different optional subjects. Students.... them according to their interests."
* Analysis: If subjects are "optional," it means students get to pick the ones they like.
* Options:
* a. choose (pick)
* b. look (see)
* c. choose (pick - *Note: This is a duplicate of option A*)
* d. share (give part of)
* Conclusion: Students "choose" or pick their subjects. (Since 'choose' appears twice, either A or C is technically correct based on the word, but usually the first option is selected).

8. Bottom Right Box
* Sentence: "Some people say, '.......is necessary at schools.' Do you agree with this idea?"
* Analysis: This is a general statement about school rules or order. While uniforms are mentioned in the options, "discipline" is a broader concept often discussed as "necessary" for a school environment to function. However, looking at the previous context of uniforms in the worksheet, "uniforms" is a strong candidate, but "discipline" is the most standard answer for what is "necessary" for order. Let's re-evaluate.
* *Context Clue:* The previous question (Row 2, Right) specifically discussed uniforms. Often, worksheets group related topics. However, "discipline" is a fundamental requirement for schools to operate.
* *Grammar Check:* "Uniforms" is plural, but the sentence uses "is" (singular). "Discipline" is singular and fits "is necessary."
* Options:
* a. uniforms (Plural noun - would require "are")
* b. daily routines (Plural noun)
* c. discipline (Singular noun)
* d. social clubs (Plural noun)
* Conclusion: "Discipline" is the only singular noun that fits the grammar of the sentence ("...is necessary").

Final Answer:
1. d. snack
2. c. pastime
3. a. passes
4. b. pupils
5. b. revise
6. d. habits
7. a. choose (or c. choose)
8. c. discipline
