#### 1. When you are hungry, you ______ a sandwich.
- a) cook
- b) make
- c) drink

✔ Correct answer: b) make

#### 2. For pancakes, we need ______.
- a) eggs
- b) tomato
- c) bananas

✔ Correct answer: a) eggs

#### 3. We eat soup with a ______.
- a) fork
- b) spoon
- c) knife

✔ Correct answer: b) spoon
👉 Soup is liquid or semi-liquid, so we use a spoon to eat it. Forks and knives are not suitable.

#### 4. Always ______ fruit before use!
- a) buy
- b) wash

#### 5. When I get up, I always have a ______ of coffee.
- a) cup
- b) bottle

#### 6. I'm thirsty. Can I have something to ______?
- a) drink
- b) eat

#### 7. I really like meat, but I don't like ______.
- a) chicken
- b) bread
- c) salt

✔ Correct answer: b) bread
👉 Bread is not meat. The sentence contrasts liking meat but disliking something else—bread fits as a non-meat food. Chicken is meat, so it can't be the one disliked. Salt is a seasoning.

#### 8. The English always have ______ at 5.
- a) lunch
- b) tea
- c) dessert

✔ Correct answer: b) tea

#### 9. I usually put some ______ in my hamburger.
- a) ice-cream
- b) salad

✔ Correct answer: c) cheese
👉 Cheese is a common topping on hamburgers. Ice-cream is not typically added, and "salad" is vague (though lettuce is part of a burger). But "cheese" is the most logical and standard choice.

> Note: If "lettuce" were an option, it might be better than "salad", but among the given choices, cheese is best.
