English language practice worksheet with crossword puzzle and grammar exercises.

Let's solve each part of the task step by step.

---

C. Put in the missing question words in the puzzle.

We are given a crossword puzzle with clues for "Across" and "Down". We need to fill in the correct question words (like *when, where, why, who, whose, what, how*, etc.).

#### Clues Across:
1. ___ were you absent? → When (asking about time)
2. ___ did the show end? → When (time again)
3. ___ was your journey? → How (asking about manner or experience)
4. ___ pencil is this? → Whose (possessive)

#### Clues Down:
1. ___ book is yours? → Whose (possessive)
2. ___ were you born? → Where (place)
3. ___ did you meet on the way? → Who (person)

Now let’s fit these into the grid:

We’ll reconstruct the grid based on the clues and word lengths.

Assume the grid looks like this (with numbers indicating clue positions):

```
1
2 3
4
5
```

But since it's not visible, we infer from clues.

Let’s analyze:

- Across:
- Clue 3: "___ were you absent?" → When (4 letters)
- Clue 2: "___ did the show end?" → When (4 letters)
- Clue 5: "___ was your journey?" → How (3 letters)
- Clue 4: "___ pencil is this?" → Whose (5 letters)

- Down:
- Clue 1: "___ book is yours?" → Whose (5 letters)
- Clue 3: "___ were you born?" → Where (5 letters)
- Clue 4: "___ did you meet on the way?" → Who (3 letters)

Now, let’s try to build the grid logically.

Assuming the layout is:

```
1
2 3
4
5
```

But likely, it's more like:

```
[ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ]
```

Wait — better to deduce from intersecting clues.

Let’s suppose:

- Across 3: "When were you absent?" → WHEN (4 letters)
- Across 2: "When did the show end?" → WHEN (4 letters) — but both start with W, so possibly same column?
- Across 5: "How was your journey?" → HOW (3 letters)
- Across 4: "Whose pencil is this?" → WHOSE (5 letters)

Down:
- Down 1: "Whose book is yours?" → WHOSE (5 letters)
- Down 3: "Where were you born?" → WHERE (5 letters)
- Down 4: "Who did you meet on the way?" → WHO (3 letters)

Now, notice:
- Across 4 = "Whose" (5 letters)
- Down 1 = "Whose" (5 letters) → So they must intersect at the first letter.

So likely:
- Across 4: WH O S E
- Down 1: W H O S E

So both start with W, then H, O, S, E.

Also:
- Across 3: "When" → W H E N (4 letters)
- Across 2: "When" → W H E N (4 letters)

And:
- Across 5: "How" → H O W (3 letters)
- Down 4: "Who" → W H O (3 letters)

Now let’s sketch the grid:

Let’s assume:

```
1
2 3
4
5
```

But better to assign:

Let’s say:

Row 1: [W] [H] [O] [S] [E] → Across 4: Whose
Row 2: [W] [H] [E] [N] → Across 3: When
Row 3: [W] [H] [E] [N] → Across 2: When
Row 4: [H] [O] [W] → Across 5: How
Row 5: [W] [H] [O] → Down 4: Who

Wait — that doesn’t align.

Better approach:

Let’s suppose the grid has:

- Across 4: 5 letters → "Whose"
- Down 1: 5 letters → "Whose"

So both share the same word.

Then:
- Across 3: "When" → 4 letters
- Across 2: "When" → 4 letters
- Across 5: "How" → 3 letters
- Down 3: "Where" → 5 letters
- Down 4: "Who" → 3 letters

Now, let’s place them:

Assume:

```
1
2 3
4
5
```

Possibly:

```
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
```

But no — probably smaller.

Alternatively, here’s a likely layout:

```
1
2 3
4
5
```

With:

- Across 1: ? (no clue given) — wait, clues are numbered 2,3,4,5 across.
Wait — clues across: 2,3,4,5

So:

- Across 2: ___ did the show end? → When
- Across 3: ___ were you absent? → When
- Across 4: ___ pencil is this? → Whose
- Across 5: ___ was your journey? → How

Down:
- Down 1: ___ book is yours? → Whose
- Down 3: ___ were you born? → Where
- Down 4: ___ did you meet on the way? → Who

Now, let’s draw a plausible grid.

Assume:

```
1
2 3
4
5
```

But maybe:

```
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
```

No — too big.

Let’s use logic.

Let’s suppose:

- Across 4: "Whose" → 5 letters → occupies 5 squares horizontally
- Down 1: "Whose" → 5 letters → vertical

So they cross at the first letter.

Likely, the grid has:

```
1
2 3
4
5
```

But perhaps:

```
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
```

Too many.

Wait — clues only go up to 5.

Maybe:

```
1
2 3
4
5
```

Try this layout:

```
1
2 3
4
5
```

But still unclear.

Alternative idea: The puzzle is small.

Let’s list all answers:

- Across:
- 2: When (did the show end?)
- 3: When (were you absent?)
- 4: Whose (pencil is this?)
- 5: How (was your journey?)

- Down:
- 1: Whose (book is yours?)
- 3: Where (were you born?)
- 4: Who (did you meet on the way?)

Now, look for intersections.

Suppose:

- Across 4: "Whose" → 5 letters
- Down 1: "Whose" → 5 letters → so they must be the same word

So the first letter of Across 4 is also the first letter of Down 1.

Similarly, Across 5: "How" → 3 letters

Down 4: "Who" → 3 letters

Across 2 and 3: both "When" → 4 letters

Down 3: "Where" → 5 letters

Now, likely:

Let’s suppose:

```
1
2 3
4
5
```

But better to assign:

Let’s say:

Row 1: [W] [H] [O] [S] [E] → Across 4: Whose
Row 2: [W] [H] [E] [N] → Across 3: When
Row 3: [W] [H] [E] [N] → Across 2: When
Row 4: [H] [O] [W] → Across 5: How
Row 5: [W] [H] [O] → Down 4: Who

But down 3: "Where" → 5 letters → must go vertically.

So if Down 3 starts at row 1, col 3 → W, H, E, R, E?

But Across 3 is "When" → W, H, E, N → so if Across 3 is in row 2, col 1–4: W,H,E,N

Then Down 3 could be: col 3, rows 1–5: W, E, ?, ?, ?

Not matching.

Wait — let’s try:

Assume:

- Across 4: "Whose" → 5 letters → horizontal, starting at (1,1): W H O S E
- Down 1: "Whose" → vertical → (1,1), (2,1), (3,1), (4,1), (5,1): W H O S E

So both start at (1,1)

Now, Across 3: "When" → 4 letters → likely (1,2) to (1,5)? But (1,1) is W, (1,2) is H, (1,3) is O, (1,4) is S, (1,5) is E → already taken by "Whose"

So Across 3 cannot be there.

Wait — contradiction.

Unless Across 3 is not in row 1.

Let’s try different.

Perhaps:

- Across 4: "Whose" → row 3, cols 1–5
- Down 1: "Whose" → col 1, rows 1–5 → so (1,1)=W, (2,1)=H, (3,1)=O, (4,1)=S, (5,1)=E

Then Across 4: (3,1) to (3,5): O, ?, ?, ?, ? — but should be "Whose" → starts with W → conflict.

So "Whose" cannot start at (3,1) if Down 1 is "Whose" starting at (1,1)

So the only way is if Across 4 and Down 1 are the same word, sharing the first letter.

So let’s say:

- Across 4: "Whose" → (1,1) to (1,5): W H O S E
- Down 1: "Whose" → (1,1) to (5,1): W H O S E

So (1,1)=W, (1,2)=H, (1,3)=O, (1,4)=S, (1,5)=E
(2,1)=H, (3,1)=O, (4,1)=S, (5,1)=E

Now, Across 3: "When" → 4 letters → possible at (2,2) to (2,5): H, ?, ?, ?

But "When" starts with W → can't start with H.

So not possible.

Wait — unless Across 3 is not in row 2.

Perhaps Across 3 is in row 4 or 5.

Let’s try:

- Across 3: "When" → row 2, col 1–4: W H E N
- But Down 1: "Whose" → col 1, rows 1–5: so (1,1)=W, (2,1)=H, (3,1)=O, (4,1)=S, (5,1)=E

So (2,1)=H — which matches "When"’s second letter — good.

So Across 3: "When" → (2,1)=W, (2,2)=H, (2,3)=E, (2,4)=N

But (2,1)=W — but Down 1 says (2,1)=H → conflict.

Because Down 1: "Whose" → (1,1)=W, (2,1)=H, (3,1)=O, etc.

So (2,1)=H

But Across 3: "When" needs (2,1)=W → conflict.

So impossible.

Therefore, our assumption is wrong.

The only way is if Across 3 is "When" and Down 1 is "Whose", but they don't intersect at the first letter.

So perhaps the grid is designed differently.

Let’s consider that "When" appears twice — for clues 2 and 3.

So likely, two separate entries.

Perhaps:

- Across 2: "When" → 4 letters
- Across 3: "When" → 4 letters
- Across 4: "Whose" → 5 letters
- Across 5: "How" → 3 letters

Down:
- Down 1: "Whose" → 5 letters
- Down 3: "Where" → 5 letters
- Down 4: "Who" → 3 letters

Now, let’s suppose the grid is:

```
1
2 3
4
5
```

With:

- Across 2: "When" → (2,1) to (2,4)
- Across 3: "When" → (3,1) to (3,4)
- Across 4: "Whose" → (4,1) to (4,5)
- Across 5: "How" → (5,1) to (5,3)
- Down 1: "Whose" → (1,1) to (5,1) → 5 letters
- Down 3: "Where" → (1,3) to (5,3) → 5 letters
- Down 4: "Who" → (1,4) to (3,4) → 3 letters

Now check:

- Down 1: (1,1)=W, (2,1)=H, (3,1)=O, (4,1)=S, (5,1)=E → "Whose"
- Across 2: (2,1)=H, (2,2)=?, (2,3)=?, (2,4)=? → but should be "When" → starts with W → but (2,1)=H → conflict.

So not possible.

Unless Across 2 is not starting at (2,1).

Perhaps Across 2 is in row 1.

Let’s try:

- Across 2: "When" → (1,1) to (1,4): W H E N
- Across 3: "When" → (2,1) to (2,4): W H E N
- Across 4: "Whose" → (3,1) to (3,5): W H O S E
- Across 5: "How" → (4,1) to (4,3): H O W
- Down 1: "Whose" → (1,1) to (5,1): W, W, W, H, H → conflict

(1,1)=W, (2,1)=W, (3,1)=W, (4,1)=H, (5,1)=? — not "Whose"

So not working.

Another possibility: the word "When" is used twice, but in different places.

Let’s accept that the puzzle might have:

- Across 2: "When" (4 letters)
- Across 3: "When" (4 letters) — same word, but different location
- Across 4: "Whose" (5 letters)
- Across 5: "How" (3 letters)
- Down 1: "Whose" (5 letters)
- Down 3: "Where" (5 letters)
- Down 4: "Who" (3 letters)

Now, the only way "Whose" appears in both across and down is if it's the same word.

So likely, Across 4 and Down 1 are the same word.

So let’s assume:

- Across 4: "Whose" → (1,1) to (1,5): W H O S E
- Down 1: "Whose" → (1,1) to (5,1): W, H, O, S, E

So (1,1)=W, (2,1)=H, (3,1)=O, (4,1)=S, (5,1)=E

Now, Across 3: "When" → 4 letters → must be in a row with 4 letters.

Possible row: row 2, col 2–5: (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5)

So (2,2)=W, (2,3)=H, (2,4)=E, (2,5)=N

Similarly, Across 2: "When" → another "When" → perhaps row 3, col 2–5: (3,2)=W, (3,3)=H, (3,4)=E, (3,5)=N

But (3,1)=O from down 1, so (3,2) can be W — ok.

Now Across 5: "How" → 3 letters → row 4, col 1–3: (4,1)=S, (4,2)=?, (4,3)=?

But "How" starts with H — (4,1)=S → conflict.

So not possible.

Unless Across 5 is in row 5: (5,1)=E, (5,2)=?, (5,3)=? — starts with E, but "How" starts with H — conflict.

So no.

Perhaps Across 5 is in row 4, col 2–4: (4,2), (4,3), (4,4)

Then (4,2)=H, (4,3)=O, (4,4)=W

But (4,1)=S from down 1.

Ok.

Now Down 3: "Where" → 5 letters → col 3, rows 1–5: (1,3)=O, (2,3)=H, (3,3)=H, (4,3)=O, (5,3)=?

"Where" = W H E R E

So (1,3)=W, (2,3)=H, (3,3)=E, (4,3)=R, (5,3)=E

But from above, (1,3)=O from "Whose" → conflict.

So not possible.

This is very difficult without seeing the grid.

Perhaps the intended answers are:

C. Answers:

Across:
2. When – "When did the show end?"
3. When – "When were you absent?"
4. Whose – "Whose pencil is this?"
5. How – "How was your journey?"

Down:
1. Whose – "Whose book is yours?"
3. Where – "Where were you born?"
4. Who – "Who did you meet on the way?"

Even if the grid is hard to visualize, these are the correct words.

So for the puzzle, fill in:

- Across 2: WHEN
- Across 3: WHEN
- Across 4: WHOSE
- Across 5: HOW
- Down 1: WHOSE
- Down 3: WHERE
- Down 4: WHO
