Step-by-Step Solution

#### 1. The ________ was running after the mouse.

- The subject is chasing a mouse.
- A common animal that chases mice is a cat.
- ✔ Answer: cat

#### 2. The ________ fell from the ___________.

- Something fell from somewhere.
- "Fell from" suggests height.
- From the word bank: apple (an object) and tree (a place).
- Apples fall from trees — this is a classic example.
- ✔ Answer: apple fell from the tree

#### 3. My ________ helps me with my homework.

- Someone who helps with homework.
- Likely a person — teacher fits perfectly.
- ✔ Answer: teacher

#### 4. I close my ___________ when I am sleeping.

- Body part that closes during sleep.
- Eyes are what we close when sleeping.
- ✔ Answer: eyes

#### 5. Do you like to eat ______________?

- Asking about food.
- Possible nouns: apple, rice
- Both are edible, but let’s see which fits better.
- "Eat apple" is okay, but "eat rice" is more common as a full food item.
- However, both could work. But since apple is already used in #2, and we can reuse words unless told otherwise, it's fine.
- But looking at the word bank, both are available.
- Let’s pick rice — it’s a common food item people ask about.
- ✔ Answer: rice *(Alternatively, apple is also acceptable)*

But wait — let’s check if all words can be used only once.

The instructions don’t say “use each word only once,” so repetition is allowed unless specified.

But typically in such exercises, each word is used once. Let’s assume each word is used once.

So far:
- cat → #1
- apple & tree → #2
- teacher → #3
- eyes → #4

Left: tennis, blue, rice

Now:

#### 6. My favourite colour is ____________.

- This must be a colour.
- Only blue is a colour in the list.
- ✔ Answer: blue

#### 7. I like to play basketball and _____________.

- Another sport.
- Tennis is a sport.
- ✔ Answer: tennis

Now let’s check remaining words:
- Used: cat, apple, tree, teacher, eyes, blue, tennis
- Left: rice

Wait — we have 7 sentences, and 8 words in the bank.

But only 7 blanks.

So one word will be left out.

Let’s recheck:

Words:
1. tennis
2. cat
3. eyes
4. teacher
5. blue
6. apple
7. rice
8. tree

We’ve used:
- #1: cat
- #2: apple + tree
- #3: teacher
- #4: eyes
- #5: ???
- #6: blue
- #7: tennis

So for #5: "Do you like to eat ______?"
We have rice left.

Yes — rice is a food, so it fits perfectly.

And apple was used in #2 — so we cannot use it again unless allowed.

But in #2, we used apple and tree — two words.

So total used:
- #1: cat
- #2: apple, tree
- #3: teacher
- #4: eyes
- #5: rice
- #6: blue
- #7: tennis

That’s all 8 words — perfect.

Wait! That’s 8 words, but only 7 sentences.

But sentence #2 has two blanks, so that’s why we need 8 words.

✔ So everything matches.
