It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Commonly Confused Words #2", which asks students to complete sentences by choosing the correct word from pairs of commonly confused words (e.g., *stationary* vs. *stationery*, *then* vs. *than*, etc.).

Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve this based on the text you provided. Let's go through each sentence one by one and explain the correct choice.

---

1. To be honest, I have never seen such a _______ car.


- Options: stationary / stationery

Correct answer: stationary

- Stationary means not moving.
- Stationery refers to writing materials (paper, pens, etc.).

👉 The sentence is describing a car that isn’t moving — so "stationary" fits.

> Answer: *stationary*

2. Quentin’s cousin was more _______ than he was.


- Options: stately / statue

This seems to be a typo or misprint. Likely meant to be:
- stately (meaning dignified, grand) vs. stale (old, dull)
But as written: stately vs. statue

Let’s assume it's stately vs. stale (common confusion), but since it says statue, perhaps it's a mistake.

Wait — let’s recheck: “more _______ than he was” — we need an adjective.

- Stately = dignified, majestic → fits.
- Statue = noun, doesn't work here.

So likely, the intended pair is stately vs. stale.

But as written: stately vs. statue — only stately makes sense.

> Answer: *stately*

(If this is a typo and should be "stale", then context would matter — but "more stately than he was" is grammatically and logically sound.)

---

3. The boys knew they could _______ the race if they were fast enough.


- Options: win / won

Correct answer: win

- "Could" is a modal verb, and after modals, we use the base form of the verb.
- So: "could win", not "could won".

> Answer: *win*

---

4. When we arrived at the park, we found that our _______ had disappeared.


- Options: had / had

Wait — both options are “had”? That can’t be right.

Possibly a typo. Likely intended to be:
- had vs. hadn’t? Or maybe lunch vs. lunchbox?

Looking again: “our _______ had disappeared.”

Possibility: lunch vs. lunches?

But the options listed are: had / had — this must be a formatting error.

Alternatively, perhaps the pair is bag / bog? But that doesn’t fit.

Wait — maybe the original is:
- bag / bog?
- Or tent / tend?

But based on common confusions, perhaps it's:
- lunch / luncheon?

No — most likely, the intended pair is lunch vs. lunches?

But again, the options are listed as had / had — which suggests a typo.

Assuming the sentence is:
> "When we arrived at the park, we found that our lunch had disappeared."

Then the blank should be filled with lunch.

But since the options are both "had", this might be a mistake.

Alternatively, maybe it's:
> "We found that our lunch had disappeared." → so the blank is for lunch, but the options are wrong.

Wait — looking back: “our _______ had disappeared.” and the choices are had / had — that doesn’t make sense.

This appears to be a formatting issue in your image.

Let me assume the actual pair is something like:
- lunch / lunches

Or perhaps:
- bag / bog

But none of these make sense with “had disappeared”.

Alternatively, maybe it’s:
> "We found that our lunch had disappeared." → blank = lunch

But the choices don’t match.

Perhaps the intended pair is:
- bag / bog

But again, no.

Wait — another possibility: maybe the pair is had / have? But that doesn’t fit.

Given the confusion, let's skip this for now and come back.

---

5. Never mind the neighbor, Mrs. Chen. Over her house, but she had _______ water that evening.


- Options: breathe / breathe

Again, both options are “breathe”? That can’t be.

Likely a typo. Probably meant to be:
- breathe vs. breathed

But the sentence says: “but she had _______ water”

“Had _______ water” — so we need a past participle.

So likely: had breathed? But “breathed water” is odd.

Wait — perhaps it's: “she had boiled water”?

But the options are breathe / breathe — again, same word.

Another idea: maybe it's breathe vs. breathe — typo for boil vs. bore?

Or perhaps: breathe vs. breathe — no.

Wait — maybe the sentence is:
> “She had boiled water that evening.”

And the options are boiled / bore?

But as written, it’s breathe / breathe.

This suggests a formatting error in the image.

Let’s look at the next ones.

---

6. Gather the dry ingredients for the cake and mix them _______.


- Options: altogether / all together

Correct answer: altogether

- Altogether = completely, entirely
- All together = all of them in one place

Here, “mix them altogether” means mix them completely.

> Answer: *altogether*

Note: “All together” would mean “all the ingredients gathered in one place”, but that doesn’t fit the action of mixing.

---

7. Some devices are even used to send text messages _______ to you.


- Options: about / allowed

Again, these don’t make sense together.

“Send text messages _______ to you” — likely the intended pair is:
- about vs. around? Or to vs. too?

But given the options: about / allowed

“Allowed” doesn’t fit: “send text messages allowed to you” — doesn’t make sense.

“About” works: “send text messages about you” — possible.

But “sent to you” is better.

Wait — maybe it’s:
> “Some devices are even used to send text messages to you.”

But the options are about / allowed — both mismatched.

Possibility: typo — maybe to / too?

But as written, about is the only one that somewhat fits.

“Text messages about you” — yes, possible.

But “allowed” doesn’t fit.

So likely, the intended word is to.

But since the options are about / allowed, and about makes slightly more sense than allowed, perhaps it’s about.

But this is confusing.

---

8. The new school will be built near the library, _______ by the end of the night.


- Options: all together / altogether

Wait — earlier we had altogether / all together in sentence 6.

Now it’s repeated.

But sentence 8: “by the end of the night” — “all together” means “in one group” — doesn’t fit.

“Altogether” = completely — “the school will be built altogether by the end of the night” — meaning “completely finished”?

Yes — “built altogether” = fully built.

But “by the end of the night” is a time phrase — so “built altogether by the end of the night” is awkward.

Better: “built by the end of the night” — no need for “altogether”.

But the sentence says: “_______ by the end of the night.”

So: “will be built near the library, _______ by the end of the night.”

So the blank modifies “built” — perhaps “completely”?

So “built altogether by the end of the night” — okay.

But “all together” doesn’t fit.

So likely: altogether

> Answer: *altogether*

---

Let's summarize what we can fix:



#### Corrected Answers:

1. stationary
→ Car is not moving.

2. stately
→ Describing someone as dignified.

3. win
→ After modal verb “could”, use base form.

4. ??? — likely lunch (but options are wrong)
→ Sentence: “our _______ had disappeared.”
→ Best guess: lunch (but not among options)

5. ??? — likely boiled (but options say “breathe”)
→ “she had _______ water” → probably boiled
→ But options are breathe / breathe — typo

6. altogether
→ Mix them completely.

7. ??? — likely to (but options are about / allowed)
→ “send text messages to you” — makes sense.
→ “about” is possible, but less accurate.
→ “allowed” doesn’t work.

8. altogether
→ “built altogether by the end of the night” — meaning “fully built”.

Final Answers (based on best interpretation):



| Sentence | Answer |
|--------|--------|
| 1 | stationary |
| 2 | stately |
| 3 | win |
| 4 | lunch (but options may be wrong) |
| 5 | boiled (but options say breathe — likely typo) |
| 6 | altogether |
| 7 | to (but options are about/allowed — likely typo) |
| 8 | altogether |

Possible Errors in the Worksheet:



- Sentence 4: Likely should be lunch vs. lunches or bag vs. bog

4. lunch *(if options were different)*
5. boiled *(if options were different)*
6. altogether
7. to *(if options were different)*
8. altogether

If you can provide the correct pairs or clarify the options (especially for sentences 4–7), I can give a more accurate solution.

But based on standard usage and common confusions, the answers above are correct if the worksheet has typos in the options.
