Here's the solution to the first 5 vocabulary questions from your Quizizz worksheet, with explanations for each:
---
1. I've got lots of ________ but I think Aunt Paula and Uncle Joe are my favourites.
✔ Correct Answer: C. relatives
Explanation:
The sentence mentions “Aunt Paula and Uncle Joe,” who are family members. The word “relatives” refers to people connected by blood or marriage — exactly what aunts and uncles are. The other options don’t fit:
- *Classmates* = people in your class
- *Enemies* = people you dislike
- *Partners* = people you work or team up with (e.g., business or romantic partners)
So, “relatives” is the only logical choice.

2. Some people say that ______ are just friends you haven't met yet.
✔ Correct Answer: A. strangers
Explanation:
This is a common saying: “Strangers are just friends you haven’t met yet.” It suggests that people we don’t know yet could become friends in the future.
- *Peers* = people of similar age/status
- *Colleagues* = coworkers
- *Coaches* = instructors or trainers
None of these carry the same meaning as “people you haven’t met yet.” Only “strangers” fits.

3. You worked hard all day, Mum. Sit down and ______ while I get dinner ready.
✔ Correct Answer: A. put your feet up
Explanation:
This is an idiomatic expression meaning to relax, especially after being tired or busy. Since the speaker says Mum worked hard all day, it makes sense to tell her to rest.
- *Be sick and tired* = means to be annoyed or exhausted — not something you’d suggest someone do.
- *Do your fair share* = implies she hasn’t done enough — contradicts “worked hard.”
- *Run errands* = means to go out and do chores — again, not relaxing.
“Put your feet up” is the natural, caring suggestion here.

4. My best friend ______ me of breaking her iPod, but I didn't!
✔ Correct Answer: B. accused
Explanation:
The phrase “accused me of [doing something]” is the correct grammatical structure when someone blames you for something. Example: “She accused me of stealing.”
- *Advised* = gave advice — doesn’t fit context.
- *Discussed* = talked about — too vague and doesn’t imply blame.
- *Argued* = had a disagreement — doesn’t take “of” in this structure (“argued with me,” not “argued me of...”).
Only “accused” correctly completes the phrase “accused me of breaking…”
