The correct answer is "Thailand" because the question asks about the respondent's place of origin or nationality. The other options, "School" and "Home," are not appropriate answers to the question as they do not indicate the respondent's country of origin.

The correct answer is "asked" because it is the most appropriate word to complete the sentence. Rita is seeking permission or approval from her dad to go to the new shopping centre, and "asked" accurately conveys this intention.

The word described in the question is "whale". The description states that the word is about an animal that is the largest in the sea. The word "whale" fits this description as whales are known to be the largest animals in the sea.

Rita and her dad agreed to meet at the car at 7.30 p.m. This means that they have made a plan to come together at the car at the specified time. "Join" does not fit in this context as it implies joining a group or activity, rather than meeting at a specific location. "Visit" also does not fit as it implies going to someone's house or a specific place, rather than meeting at a car. Therefore, "meet" is the correct word choice in this sentence.

The word being described is "dolphin". Dolphins are known to love swimming near boats and they are also known for their intelligence. The given clue of "d _ _ _ _ _ _" matches the word "dolphin" as the first letter is "d" and there are six spaces for the remaining letters. Therefore, the correct answer is "dolphin".

The person asking if they can wear the new T-shirt is met with a response of "I'll think about it."

They are not immediately saying yes or no, but instead need some time to consider the request.

The correct answer is "drove" because it indicates that Rita's dad used the car to take her to the shopping centre. The word "drove" specifically refers to operating a vehicle, which fits the context of using a car for transportation.

The correct answer is "full" because the sentence states that it was difficult to park at the shopping centre, implying that there were limited parking spaces available. Therefore, the car park must have been nearly full.

The correct answer is "the other". This is because "the other" is used to refer to the remaining person or thing in a group. In this case, since there are three students in the classroom and two of them are in Year 7, "the other" is used to refer to the remaining student who is in Year 8.

The correct word to complete the sentence is "took". This is because the sentence is talking about the amount of time it took Rita to find a present for her mum. The verb "took" is commonly used to indicate the amount of time needed to complete a task or reach a destination.

Teachers say it's not good to play computers before you go to bed. They also say it's not good to text on your mobile while you are in bed. This means that teachers not only advise against playing computers before bed but also against texting on mobile devices in bed. The phrase "they also say" indicates that this statement is an additional piece of advice given by teachers.

The correct word to complete the sentence is "paid". This is because the sentence suggests that Rita made a payment for the present, and the shop assistant put it in a bag. The word "spent" would imply that Rita used her time rather than money, and "bought" would imply that Rita made a purchase but does not specify if she paid for it. Therefore, "paid" is the most appropriate word to complete the sentence.

The correct answer is "but" because it indicates a contrast or contradiction between the speaker missing the birthday party and having to visit their grandmother in the hospital.

In the given description, it is mentioned that in bad weather, ships sometimes need to get closer to land. The word that fits this description is "storm".
