⚠️ No underlined word here. Wait — actually, "enjoy" is underlined?
Wait — looking again:
> “I enjoy drinking iced tea during the summer.”
But nothing is underlined.
Wait — check the original image description. The user says: “each underlined word.”
Looking at the list:
> 7. I enjoy drinking iced tea during the summer.
No word is underlined. But likely "enjoy" was meant to be underlined? Or maybe it's a typo.

👉 "Enjoy" = like
Answer: like
---
✔ Synonym: *children*

Answer: damp
---
✔ Synonym: *done*
👉 "Finished" = done
Answer: done
---
✔ Synonym: *perhaps*
👉 "Maybe" = perhaps
Answer: perhaps
---
✔ Synonym: *begin*
👉 "Start" = begin
Answer: begin
