6th-grade vocabulary worksheet from Rosary College School featuring a word bank and fill-in-the-blank sentences.

Let's solve this vocabulary worksheet step by step. We are given a list of words to choose from:

Word List:
wither / frost / schedule / decent / irritating / categorizes / consistently / tempestuous / decay / transition / predictable / literally / eternity / adapt / mood / doubt / sighed / neglected / typical / cooperation / blizzard / hesitated

Now, let's analyze each sentence and pick the most appropriate word.

---

1) Our noisy neighbours are very ____________. They throw parties until midnight. I can’t sleep.

- The neighbors are loud and disruptive.
- "Irritating" fits perfectly because it describes something that causes annoyance.
- ✔ Answer: irritating

---

2) The grass and flowers usually ____________ at the beginning of fall, and ____________ at the end of it.

- Plants start to die back in autumn.
- "Wither" means to lose vitality or dry up — common in early fall.
- "Decay" means to rot or break down — more appropriate later in the season.
- ✔ Answer: wither / decay

3) Mickey is so ____________. He always pretends to be nice whenever he needs something from me.

- Mickey only acts kind when he wants something — not genuine.
- "Typical" could work, but doesn't fit well.
- "Deceitful"? Not in the list.
- "Inconsistent"? Not listed.
- Wait — “decent” means morally good or fair, which contradicts the meaning.
- But “predictable” might fit? No — he’s pretending.
- Actually, “typical” might suggest expected behavior, but we need a word showing dishonesty.
- Let’s look again: “He always pretends…” → implies fake or insincere.
- “Neglected”? No.
- “Adapt”? Doesn’t fit.
- Hmm — maybe “consistently”? But that would mean he always does it — not quite right.
- Wait — perhaps “decent” is not the right one here.

Wait — maybe the correct word is “hypocritical”, but it's not on the list.

But the word “typical” doesn’t make sense here.

Wait — what about “irritating”? Already used.

Let’s re-express: “He always pretends to be nice when he needs something.” So he’s not sincere.

But none of the words directly say “fake.”

Wait — maybe “neglected”? No.

Wait — “doubt”? No.

Hmm.

Actually, let’s consider “decent” — if he *pretends* to be decent, then he’s not really decent.

So the blank is describing him as decent? That doesn’t fit — he’s faking it.

Wait — perhaps the sentence is saying: “Mickey is so decent” — but that would contradict “he pretends.”

No — that makes no sense.

Alternative idea: Maybe “typical” — “Mickey is so typical” — meaning his behavior is usual?

But “he pretends to be nice” — that’s not necessarily typical.

Wait — perhaps “predictable”? Yes! Because he *always* pretends when he needs something — so his behavior is predictable.

✔ So: “Mickey is so predictable.” — He always does the same thing when he wants something.

That works!

So:
> 3) Mickey is so predictable. He always pretends to be nice whenever he needs something from me.

✔ Answer: predictable

4) After a long day of hard work, Sharah finally ____________ that the work was over.

- She expressed relief.

- ✔ Answer: sighed

---

5) I went to a trendy burger restaurant, and I ordered a ____________ meal as always.

- “As always” suggests routine.
- A decent meal? Possible.
- A typical meal? Yes — “as always” = typical.
- “Decent” means acceptable, but “typical” better matches “as always.”
- ✔ Answer: typical

6) When Mary was asked to explain her wild behavior, she could not think of any ____________ answer to give.

- She couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation.
- “Predictable”? No — she has no answer.
- “Consistent”? Not in context.
- “Cooperation”? No.
- “Decent”? Could work — a decent answer?
- But “decent” means fair or acceptable.
- “Doubt”? No.
- “Literal”? “Literally” is an adverb.
- “Categorizes”? No.
- Wait — “cooperation”? No.
- How about “credible”? Not in list.
- “Hesitated”? No — it's a verb.
- Wait — “decent” — could she give a decent (acceptable) answer? But she couldn’t think of one.
- So: “could not think of any decent answer” — yes, that makes sense.
- Or “predictable”? Not likely.
- “Typical”? No.
- “Literal”? No.
- “Irritating”? No.
- Best choice: “decent” — meaning a proper or acceptable answer.

✔ Answer: decent
