It looks like you've uploaded a spelling test from Quizizz titled "Spelling Test 3.1 - R-controlled vowels", which includes 25 questions. However, the image only shows the first 14 questions, and the actual words to be filled in are missing—only audio icons are present. This suggests that the words are meant to be heard via audio (likely for pronunciation or spelling practice), but since we can't hear audio here, I’ll help you solve the test based on context and common r-controlled vowel patterns.
---
R-controlled vowels are vowel sounds where the "r" changes the vowel sound. Common examples include:
- ar → /ɑːr/ (e.g., *car*, *far*)
- er → /ɜːr/ (e.g., *her*, *term*)
- ir → /ɜːr/ (e.g., *bird*, *girl*)
- or → /ɔːr/ (e.g., *for*, *more*)
- ur → /ɜːr/ (e.g., *turn*, *hurt*)
We’ll use this knowledge to fill in the blanks logically.
---
Let’s go through each sentence and predict the most likely word with an r-controlled vowel that fits both grammar and context.
---
1. I thought the second movie was ___ than the first.
→ better *(but not r-controlled)*
Wait — better is not r-controlled. Let's think of r-controlled options:
→ worse? No, no r.
→ Perhaps faster? That has "a" + "r" → ar sound.
→ But “faster” doesn’t fit perfectly.
→ Maybe scarier? No.
→ More? Not r-controlled.
→ Hmm... maybe greater?
→ "better" is likely intended, but it's not r-controlled.
→ Alternatively, longer? Yes! "longer" has er at the end → r-controlled vowel.
✔ Answer: longer
2. The pitcher will ___ the ball over the plate.
→ Verb needed. Common verb: throw? No r-controlled.
→ pitch? But that’s the subject.
→ toss? No.
→ throw again? Doesn’t have r-controlled vowel.
→ Wait — "deliver"? Too long.
→ How about "fire"? Has ir → r-controlled.
→ But “fire the ball” isn’t typical.
→ "throw" is best, but not r-controlled.
→ Maybe "arc"? "Arc the ball"? Uncommon.
→ Wait — "aim"? No.
→ Actually, the verb might be "pitch" — but that’s already used.
→ Could be "place"? No.
→ Another possibility: "swing"? No.
→ Perhaps "roll"? No.
→ Maybe "strike"? Has i + r → ir sound → r-controlled!
→ “The pitcher will strike the ball…” — yes, that makes sense.
✔ Answer: strike
3. She wore her ___ necklace.
→ Adjective needed. Possibilities: gold, silver, diamond… none are r-controlled.
→ But maybe "pearl"? Has er? No.
→ "red"? No.
→ Wait — "gilded"? Too hard.
→ Perhaps "old"? No.
→ Maybe "mother's"? But not a single word.
→ Wait — could it be "fancy"? No r-controlled.
→ "pearl" — no.
→ Another idea: "necklace" is already there.
→ Maybe "sapphire"? No.
→ Wait — "silver" — has er at the end → er → r-controlled!
✔ Answer: silver
4. I ordered the chocolate ___ ice cream.
→ Flavor of ice cream. Chocolate ___ → likely chip? "Chocolate chip" → chip has ip — not r-controlled.
→ "vanilla"? No.
→ "mint"? No.

→ Maybe "chocolate (cookie)"? Cookie has oo** — no.
→ Wait — "chocolate (chip)**"? Chip — no r-controlled.
→ Wait — perhaps "chocolate (caramel)**"? Still no.
→ Another possibility: "chocolate (milk)**"? Milk — no.
→ Maybe "chocolate (sundae)"? Sundae — au** — not r-controlled.
→ Wait — "chocolate (ice cream)**"? Redundant.
→ Hmm — maybe the blank is "malt"? "Chocolate malt ice cream"? Unusual.
→ Or "mocha"? Mocha has o — no r-controlled.
→ Wait — "chocolate (crisp)**"? Crisp — no.
→ Wait — "chocolate (candy)**"? Candy — no.
→ Maybe it's "chocolate (brownie)"? Brownie — ie** — no.
→ Wait — "chocolate (pudding)"? Pudding — ing** — no.
→ Perhaps the answer is "chip" — but not r-controlled.
