Summary Explanation:
Each answer was chosen based on
context clues — the surrounding words and meaning of the sentence. For example:
- “list” makes sense with “people invited” because we often make lists of guests.
- “book” fits naturally with “read” and “summer.”
- Numbers like “five” go with countable nouns like “players.”
- Verbs like “move” match actions related to relocating.
- Adjectives like “special” describe meaningful events (birthdays).
