Let's solve each question by choosing the
more suitable adjective in each sentence. We'll go through them one by one and explain why the chosen adjective makes more sense.
---
1. The teacher scolded the (good, bad) boy.
✔ bad
Explanation: A teacher scolds someone who has done something wrong. So, the boy must be "bad" (misbehaving), not "good."
---
2. I am (happy, sad) on my birthday.
✔ happy
Explanation: Birthdays are typically joyful occasions, so people are usually happy on their birthdays.
---
3. It is very (bright, dark) at night.
✔ dark
Explanation: At night, there is little or no sunlight, so it is dark. "Bright" would describe daytime.
---
4. The (rich, poor) boy is wearing dirty clothes.
✔ poor
Explanation: People who are poor often cannot afford clean or new clothes, so they might wear dirty ones. A rich boy is unlikely to wear dirty clothes.
---
5. The giraffe is (tall, short).
✔ tall
Explanation: Giraffes are known for being the tallest animals on Earth. So, "tall" is the correct choice.
---
6. The (thick, thin) book is very heavy.
✔ thick
Explanation: Thick books have more pages and usually weigh more than thin books. So, a heavy book is likely thick.
---
7. The prince is very (handsome, beautiful).
✔ handsome
Explanation: While both words can describe attractiveness, "handsome" is used for men, and "beautiful" is more commonly used for women. Since it's a
prince (a male), "handsome" is more appropriate.
---
8. The cave is (bright, dark).
✔ dark
Explanation: Caves are underground and usually lack natural light, so they are dark. "Bright" doesn't make sense here.
---
9. Footballs are (flat, round).
✔ round
Explanation: Footballs (especially soccer balls) are spherical (round). They are not flat.
---
