Let’s go through each sentence one by one and pick the adjective that makes the most sense.
1. The teacher scolded the (good, bad) boy.
→ Teachers usually scold kids who did something wrong → so “bad” fits better.
2. I am (happy, sad) on my birthday.
→ Birthdays are fun days! Most people feel happy → “happy” is right.
3. It is very (bright, dark) at night.
→ Nighttime = no sun = not bright → “dark” is correct.
4. The (rich, poor) boy is wearing dirty clothes.
→ Rich kids usually have clean clothes; poor kids might not → “poor” makes more sense here.
5. The giraffe is (tall, short).
→ Giraffes are known for being tall → “tall” is obvious.
6. The (thick, thin) book is very heavy.
→ Thick books have more pages → they’re heavier → “thick” fits.
7. The prince is very (handsome, beautiful).
→ “Handsome” is used for boys/men; “beautiful” is often for girls/women or things → “handsome” is better.
8. The cave is (bright, dark).
→ Caves don’t have light inside → “dark” is correct.
9. Footballs are (flat, round).
→ Footballs are shaped like spheres → “round” is right.
10. The sun is (hot, cold).
