14. The children _____ for joy when they got the news.
Options:
A. jumped
B. excited
C. walked
Explanation:
The sentence is describing an action the children did when they received good news. The phrase "for joy" suggests a joyful physical reaction. Let's analyze the options:
-
A. jumped – This is a verb and fits grammatically. "Jumped for joy" is a common expression meaning to jump up and down because of happiness.
-
B. excited – This is an adjective, not a verb. It doesn't fit grammatically in this sentence structure (we need a verb after "children").
-
C. walked – While possible, "walked for joy" doesn't make sense as a common expression. Walking isn’t typically associated with excitement.
✔ Correct answer: A. jumped

Image: A drawing of a telephone.
Options:

Explanation:

telephone. Now, we need to break it into syllables.

three syllables:
te-le-phone.
- Option A breaks it into four syllables (te-le-ph-on-e) — incorrect.
- Option B:
te-le-phone — correct syllabication.
- Option C: t-e-l-e-ph-o-n-e — this is letter-by-letter, not syllable division.
✔ Correct answer: B. te-le-phone
