  • reaches
  • appears
  • sets
Explanation:

The correct answer to complete the sentence

"The children know that the sun RISES in the east"

would be: C) appears

Explanation: "Rises" and "appears" are synonyms in this context, both indicating the action of the sun coming up in the morning.

Option A ("wakes up") and Option E ("watches") do not correctly describe the movement of the sun.

Option B ("reaches") and Option D ("sets") describe different actions related to the sun's position in the sky.

Therefore, Option C ("appears") is the best choice as it maintains the intended meaning of the sentence.

would be: A) well-known

Explanation: "Famous" and "well-known" are synonymous in this context, both describing someone widely recognized and celebrated.

Option B ("unknown"), Option C ("good"), Option D ("interesting"), and Option E ("loved") do not have the same meaning as "famous" or "well-known."

  • planes
  • trains

Explanation:

The correct answer to complete the sentence

"Ships and AIRCRAFTS are often equipped with radio-telephones"

Explanation: "Aircrafts" refers to airplanes or aircraft in general.

Option A ("planes") is the correct term for airborne vehicles like airplanes, which are often equipped with radio-telephones.

Options B ("trains"), C ("railroads"), D ("highways"), and E ("boats") do not fit the context of vehicles equipped with radio-telephones.

Therefore, Option A ("planes") is the best choice to complete the sentence naturally.

He LOOKS at himself in the glass.
  • puts
  • likes
  • sees
  • stares
Explanation:

The correct answer to complete the sentence

"He LOOKS at himself in the glass"

would be: C) sees

Explanation: "Looks" and "sees" are synonymous in this context, both describing the action of observing or viewing oneself in a mirror or glass.

Option A ("puts"), Option B ("likes"), Option D ("stares"), and Option E ("stands") do not have the same meaning as "looks" or "sees."

Therefore, Option C ("sees") is the correct choice as it maintains the intended meaning of the sentence. If you choose "stares," the sentence would read: "He stares at himself in the glass."

This suggests a more intense and prolonged gaze, indicating he is looking at himself in a fixed manner, perhaps with concentration or contemplation.

It changes the tone from a casual observation to a more deliberate act of staring.

Option A ("intended") and Option C ("planned") both convey the idea of having a future intention.

Options B ("came"), D ("went"), and E ("left") do not fit the context of expressing future plans or intentions.

Therefore, Option C ("planned") is the best choice to complete the sentence naturally.

Option A ("clever"), Option C ("bright"), Option D ("wise"), and Option E ("strong") do not have the same meaning as "silly" or "foolish."

Therefore, Option B ("foolish") is the correct choice as it maintains the intended meaning of the sentence.

    • Explanation:

    The correct answer to complete the sentence ".

    They had a big house and AT THE BACK OF it there was a small lake"
