Here is the complete solution to Classroom Practice 1, with explanations for each exercise.

✔ Exercise 1: Fill in the circle beside the list that names the parts of a complete sentence.

Correct Answer:
> ○ 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 (action or state of being),
- A complete sense (it must express a full thought),
- It must start with a capital letter,
- And end with an end mark (period, question mark, or exclamation point).

“Synonym” and “antonym” are vocabulary terms, not structural parts of a sentence.

---

✔ Exercise 2: Identify each pair of words as synonyms or antonyms.

1. always, never → Antonyms
*Always = at all times; Never = not at any time — opposite meanings.*

2. cry, sob → Synonyms
*Both mean to shed tears; “sob” is a more intense form of crying.*

3. below, above → Antonyms
*Opposite positions in space.*

4. song, tune → Synonyms
*Both refer to a musical composition or melody.*

5. beginning, ending → Antonyms
*Start vs. finish — opposites.*

6. late, tardy → Synonyms
*Both mean not on time.*

✔ Answers:
1. Antonyms
2. Synonyms
3. Antonyms
4. Synonyms
5. Antonyms
6. Synonyms

✔ Exercise 3: Complete each analogy by filling in the circle beside the correct answer.

Analogies show relationships between pairs of words.

1. in : out :: up : ______
→ down
*“In” and “out” are opposites; “up” and “down” are also opposites.*

2. go : green :: red : ______
→ stop
*In traffic lights: “go” is associated with “green”; “red” is associated with “stop”.*

3. wheel : bike :: fire : ______
→ train
*A wheel is a part of a bike; fire (as in steam/fire engine) is part of a train’s power source. “Car” and “ship” don’t fit as well — “train” is the classic analogy here.*

4. laugh : giggle :: ______
→ wet : dry
*Wait — this one is tricky. “Laugh” and “giggle” are synonyms (both types of laughing). So we need a synonym pair. But “wet : dry” and “cool : chilly” are both antonym pairs — that doesn’t match.*
Actually, looking again — perhaps there's a misprint? Let’s reevaluate:

- “Laugh : giggle” = synonyms (similar meanings)
- The only option that’s a synonym pair is... none? Wait — “cool : chilly” are synonyms (both mean cold/refreshing). “Wet : dry” are antonyms.

So the correct choice should be:
→ cool : chilly
*Because “laugh” and “giggle” are synonyms, just like “cool” and “chilly” are synonyms.*

✔ Answers:
1. down
2. stop
3. train
4. cool : chilly

*(Note: Some might argue “fire : train” is weak — but in educational contexts, it’s often used because trains historically ran on steam/fire. “Fire : car” or “fire : ship” don’t fit as well.)*

✔ Exercise 4: Fill in the circle beside each correct answer.

1. I was ______ from school because I was sick.
→ absent
*“Absent” means not present — fits perfectly with being sick and missing school.*

2. The team had ______ time to practice for the game.
→ ample
*“Ample” means plenty or more than enough — makes sense in context. “Soccer”, “below”, “ball” don’t fit grammatically or semantically.*

✔ Answers:
1. absent
2. ample

---

✍️ Writing: Exercise 5 — Write a sentence using one of your vocabulary words: absent or ample.

Sample Sentences:

- Using absent:
> *She was absent from class yesterday because she had a doctor’s appointment.*

- Using ample:
> *We had ample time to finish our project before the deadline.*

*(Either one is acceptable — choose one and write a clear, complete sentence.)*
