We’ll go through each sentence and determine which word fits best based on meaning and context.

1. The cats __________ my shoes every morning, and I can't ever find them.

- We need a verb that describes what the cats do to the shoes.
- "Loot" means to steal or take things, especially during a raid.
- "Looting" is the present participle of "loot," indicating an ongoing action.
- Cats stealing shoes? That’s playful but fits the idea of taking something.
- So: looting

✔ Answer: looting

2. I became __________ when I saw all of the balloons, cookies, and cakes for my birthday.

- "Became" suggests a change in state.
- "Arouse" means to awaken or stir up (a feeling).
- "Aroused" is the past tense/participle form — it fits perfectly here.
- Example: “I became aroused with excitement.”
- Other options like "daft" or "insignificant" don’t make sense here.

✔ Answer: aroused

3. The graduation trip is __________ to China.

- This is about a trip to another country.

4. I feel __________ in this clown suit.

- Describing how someone feels wearing a silly outfit.
- "Daft" means foolish or silly.
- "I feel daft" = I feel foolish/silly.
- Makes sense in context.

✔ Answer: daft

5. I had three __________ of who possibly stole my diary.

- "Suspects" are people believed to be involved in a crime.
- "Three suspects" = three people suspected of stealing.
- Plural form needed because "three" is used.

✔ Answer: suspects

6. We spent the day __________ for treasure at the beach.

- "Spent the day" needs a verb-ing form (gerund) to describe the activity.
- "Looting" means searching or taking things forcefully, but it's often used in contexts of raids.
- However, "looting" doesn't fit well for a peaceful treasure hunt.
- Wait — maybe we’re missing something?

Let’s reconsider: Is there a better fit?

Wait — "looting" is not appropriate here. It implies stealing or raiding, which isn’t fun at the beach.

But look again: Is there another word?

Wait — "looting" is the only verb-ing form available. But it doesn't make sense.

Hmm… Let’s double-check the word bank.

Word bank includes: looting, loot, arouse, aroused, etc.

Is there a possibility of a typo or misinterpretation?

Alternatively, perhaps the intended word is "looking", but that’s not in the list.

But "looting" might be used metaphorically — like "searching aggressively"?

Still, “looting for treasure” sounds odd.

Wait — could it be "loot" as a noun?

No — the blank comes after “spent the day,” so it should be a gerund: spending the day [doing something]

So we need a verb-ing form.

Available verb-ing forms in the bank: looting, arousing, aroused, insignificantly, insignificant

Only looting is a valid verb-ing.

But "looting for treasure" is strange.

Wait — maybe the sentence is meant to be humorous or exaggerated?

Perhaps it’s acceptable in a figurative way — “we spent the day looting for treasure” meaning we searched greedily.

But that’s a stretch.

Alternative thought: Maybe "arousing"? No — "spend the day arousing"? Doesn’t make sense.

Wait — perhaps the correct word is "looting", even if awkward?

But let’s check other possibilities.

Wait — what if the word is "looking"? But it's not in the bank.

Wait — is "looting" the only possible choice?

Yes — among the words, only looting is a verb-ing form that can follow “spent the day”.

So despite being awkward, looting might be the intended answer, perhaps in a playful context.

But let’s consider: Could it be "searching"? Not in the bank.

Wait — perhaps the sentence was meant to use "loot" as a verb?

But “spent the day loot” is grammatically wrong.

It must be looting.

So, even though it's unusual, looting may be the only option.

But let’s think again.

Wait — could it be "arousing"? No.

Or "aroused"? No.

What about "insignificantly"? “Spent the day insignificantly”? No.

So only viable option is looting.

Even if awkward, it's likely the intended answer.

✔ Answer: looting

(Though this seems questionable — maybe a typo in the worksheet?)

But given the choices, looting is the only verb-ing form.

7. After the class president gave out fresh-baked cookies to everyone, my pencil gift felt __________.

- Compare: cookies (big, tasty, shared) vs. pencil (small, ordinary)
- The pencil feels small or unimportant now.
- "Insignificant" = not important; small in value.
- "Insignificantly" is adverbial — would modify a verb, not describe a noun.
- "Felt insignificant" = felt unimportant.

Perfect.

✔ Answer: insignificant

Final Answers:

1. looting
2. aroused
3. abroad
4. daft
5. suspects
6. looting
7. insignificant

Explanation Summary:

- looting: cats are taking/sharing shoes → "looting" as a playful exaggeration.
- aroused: excited by birthday surprises → "became aroused".
- abroad: trip to another country → "abroad".
- daft: silly feeling in clown suit → "feel daft".
- suspects: three people suspected → "three suspects".
- looting: spending time searching for treasure → only verb-ing form available; slightly awkward but plausible.
- insignificant: pencil feels unimportant compared to cookies → "felt insignificant".

Note: Sentence 6 is tricky — "looting" is not ideal, but it's the only grammatically fitting verb-ing form in the bank. If the word bank were different, "searching" would be better, but within constraints, looting is the best choice.
