Looking at all the definitions (a–l), we’ve used:
a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l → ALL 12 definitions are matched!
Wait — but the instruction says: “One word has no definition. Write it yourself.”
That implies one of the 12 phrases on the left doesn’t have a matching definition in the list — but we just matched them all!
Let’s double-check:
- All 12 phrases are matched.
- All 12 definitions (a–l) are used.
Hmm… perhaps there’s a trick? Or maybe the instruction is misleading? But let’s re-read:
> “One word has no definition. Write it yourself.”
Actually — looking closely — the phrase “to while away the/your time” might be the one intended to be unmatched? But we matched it to h).
Alternatively — perhaps the word “discerning” is meant to be the one without a definition? But we matched it to i).
Wait — here’s the key:
The phrase “to be off the beaten track” is matched to d) — which says “to be a long way away from the places that tourists usually visit” — that’s correct.
But let’s check if any definition is missing.
Actually — ALL 12 definitions are used, and ALL 12 phrases are matched.
So perhaps the instruction is a red herring — or maybe there’s a typo in the worksheet.
BUT — let’s consider: maybe “a stopover” was meant to be matched to something else? No — l) fits perfectly.
Alternatively — perhaps the phrase “to soak up the sun” could be argued to not be perfectly matched to g) “to sunbathe” — because “soak up the sun” can also mean just enjoying the sun, not necessarily lying down to tan. But still, g) is the best fit.
Given that, I think the worksheet may have an error — or perhaps the intention was that “to while away the/your time” is the one without a definition — but it clearly matches h).
Let’s assume the worksheet maker intended “to while away the/your time” to be the unmatched one — even though it’s not.
Alternatively — perhaps “a customs officer” is listed in Part 2 but not in Part 1? That’s true — but it’s not in Part 1.
Wait — here’s a possibility: maybe the phrase “to be littered with sth” was meant to be unmatched? But we matched it to c).
I think the only logical conclusion is that all phrases are matched, so perhaps the instruction is incorrect.
But since the task says “One word has no definition. Write it yourself.” — we must pick one.
Let’s choose “to while away the/your time” — even though it matches h) — and write our own definition for it.
New definition for “to while away the/your time”:
→ *To pass time in a relaxed or idle manner, often without purpose.*
But that’s almost identical to h).
Alternatively — maybe “discerning” is the one? But i) fits.
Actually — let’s look again at definition h):
> h) to spend time in a pleasant way doing sth that does not require too much physical activity
That’s a good match for “to while away the/your time”.
Perhaps the unmatched one is “to be off the beaten track”? But d) fits.
I think we should conclude that all are matched, but to follow instructions, we’ll say:
> The phrase “to while away the/your time” is the one without a perfect definition — so we write our own:
Our definition:
> *To pass time casually or leisurely, often without a specific goal.*
