Exercise 1: Parts of a Complete Sentence

Question: Fill in the circle beside the list that names the parts of a complete sentence.

- ☐ subject, verb, synonym, antonym, complete sense
- ☑ subject, verb, complete sense, capital letter, end mark

✔ Explanation:
A complete sentence must have:
- A subject (who or what the sentence is about),
- A verb (what the subject is doing),
- A complete sense (it makes logical sense),
- A capital letter at the beginning,
- An end mark (period, question mark, etc.).

"Synonym" and "antonym" are not parts of a sentence structure — they're vocabulary terms. So the second option is correct.

Exercise 2: Synonyms or Antonyms?

Identify each pair as synonyms (same meaning) or antonyms (opposite meaning).

1. always, never
- ☐ Synonyms
- ☑ Antonyms
✔ *Always* means "at all times"; *never* means "not ever" → opposites.

2. cry, sob
- ☑ Synonyms
- ☐ Antonyms
✔ Both mean to weep or express sadness through tears → similar meanings.

3. below, above
- ☐ Synonyms
- ☑ Antonyms
✔ One is lower; one is higher → opposite directions.

4. song, tune
- ☑ Synonyms
- ☐ Antonyms
✔ Both refer to a melody or piece of music → same meaning.

5. beginning, ending
- ☐ Synonyms
- ☑ Antonyms
✔ Start vs. finish → opposites.

6. late, tardy
- ☑ Synonyms
- ☐ Antonyms
✔ Both mean "arriving after the expected time."

Exercise 3: Analogies

Complete each analogy by choosing the correct word.

1. in : out :: up : ________
- ☐ clown
- ☑ down
- ☐ inside
✔ "In" is the opposite of "out", so "up" is the opposite of "down".

2. go : green :: red : ________
- ☐ truck
- ☐ flower
- ☑ stop
✔ Green light means "go", red light means "stop". So it’s a signal-to-action relationship.

3. wheel : bike :: tire : ________
- ☐ car
- ☐ train
- ☑ ship
✘ Wait — this seems off. Let's think:
A wheel is part of a bike. A tire is part of a vehicle. But “tire” is typically on cars, not ships.
However, tire is more commonly associated with car, not ship.
Actually, let's re-evaluate:
- Wheel is to bike as tire is to...
But wheels and tires are similar things — both are circular components for rolling.
But here, it's part-to-whole: wheel is a part of a bike → tire is a part of what?
Tires are on cars, not trains or ships.
So the best answer is:
- ☑ car
✔ *Correction:* The correct answer should be car because tires are used on cars, just like wheels are on bikes.

So the correct choice is:
- ☑ car

4. laugh : giggle :: ________
- ☐ wet : dry
- ☑ cool : chilly
✔ Laugh and giggle are similar actions (both are types of laughter).
So we need a pair where the second word is a milder version of the first.
- "Cool" and "chilly" are similar in meaning — both describe low temperature.
- "Wet" and "dry" are opposites → not matching.

So the correct analogy is:
- laugh : giggle :: cool : chilly
Because giggle is a lighter form of laugh, just as chilly is a lighter form of cool.

So:
- ☑ cool : chilly

Exercise 4: Fill in the blank

1. I was ______ from school because I was sick.
- ☐ beginning
- ☐ late
- ☑ absent
- ☐ stop
✔ "Absent" means not present → fits perfectly.

2. The team had ______ time to practice for the game.
- ☑ ample
- ☐ soccer
- ☐ below
- ☐ ball
✔ "Ample" means sufficient or plenty → makes sense.

> "Because I was absent from school yesterday, I missed the science test."
