Part 1: Circle the correct answers

We are to choose the correct word from the two options given.

1. There is a ________ at 10 o'clock.
- bowl / meeting
→ "Bowl" doesn't make sense in this context (a bowl isn't an event).
✔ Correct answer: meeting

2. I love to read in the ________.
- furniture / library
→ "Furniture" is not a place where you read. "Library" is a place for reading.
✔ Correct answer: library

3. He wanted to ________ money from the man’s pocket.
- steal / visit
→ "Visit" doesn’t fit with "money from the man’s pocket." "Steal" makes sense.
✔ Correct answer: steal

4. We ________ at the factory late.
- arrived / told
→ "Told" doesn't go with "at the factory late." We "arrived" somewhere.
✔ Correct answer: arrived

5. His ________ is hard.
- job / price
→ "Price is hard" doesn't make sense. "Job is hard" does.
✔ Correct answer: job

6. He wants to win the ________.
- competition / student
→ You win a "competition," not a "student."
✔ Correct answer: competition

7. The girl wanted to ________ the prince.
- marry / finish

✔ Correct answer: marry

8. The gift was ________, it wasn’t cheap.
- comfortable / expensive
→ "It wasn’t cheap" implies it cost a lot → so it was expensive.
✔ Correct answer: expensive

- cost / died
→ "Cost" is for money; "died" refers to death.
✔ Correct answer: died

10. The ________ was free.
