    • Fill

    • Fall

    • Ground

    • Sea

    Correct Answer
    A. Fall
    Explanation
    The word "water" is commonly associated with the action of falling, such as water falling from the sky as rain. Therefore, the most appropriate word to complete the given sentence would be "fall".

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Wheel ___

    • Table

    • Bed

    • Chair

    • Door

    Correct Answer
    A. Chair
    Explanation
    The word "wheel" is commonly associated with other objects that have wheels, such as a table, bed, chair, or door. However, out of these options, only a chair is an object that typically has a wheel. Therefore, the correct answer is chair.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Sea ____

    • Ship

    • Shore

    • Bank

    • Fare

    Correct Answer
    A. Shore
    Explanation
    The word "sea" is typically associated with the word "shore," as the shore is the area where the land meets the sea. This relationship suggests a close connection or proximity between the two words, making "shore" the most fitting option among the given choices. "Ship" may be related to the sea, but it does not directly complete the phrase "sea ____." "Bank" and "fare" do not have a strong association with the sea.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Tooth ___

    • Ache

    • Pain

    • Burn

    • Attack

    Correct Answer
    A. Ache
    Explanation
    The word "tooth" is followed by the word "ache" which indicates a specific type of pain that is localized to the tooth. The other options, such as "pain," "burn," and "attack," are more general terms that do not specifically refer to dental pain. Therefore, "ache" is the most appropriate and specific word to complete the phrase "tooth ___."

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Soft ___

    • Care

    • Ware

    • Bare

    • Pair

    Correct Answer
    A. Ware
    Explanation
    The word "soft" is followed by the word "ware" to form the compound word "software." This word is commonly used to refer to computer programs and applications. The other options, "care," "bare," and "pair," do not form a meaningful compound word when combined with "soft." Therefore, "ware" is the correct answer.

    • Cap

    Correct Answer
    A. Coat
    Explanation
    The word "over" suggests that we are looking for something that can be worn on top of another garment. Out of the given options, a coat is the most appropriate choice as it is typically worn over other clothes to provide warmth and protection. A dress, shirt, and cap are not typically worn over other garments.

    Rate this question:

    • Box

    • Wave

    • Light

    Correct Answer
    A. Pad
    Explanation
    The word "stamp" is commonly associated with a "pad" as they are often used together. A stamp pad is a small cushion or pad that holds ink for use with rubber stamps. The other options, such as box, wave, and light, do not have a direct association with a stamp. Therefore, "pad" is the most appropriate and logical choice based on the given options.

    Rate this question:

  • 10.

    • Star

    • Rest

    Correct Answer
    A. Bed
    Explanation
    The word "river" is commonly associated with a "bed," as rivers flow within a specific channel or bed. The other options, such as "star," "rest," and "drive," do not have a direct connection or association with the word "river." Therefore, "bed" is the most logical and appropriate word to complete the given phrase.

    Rate this question:

    Correct Answer
    A. Written
    Explanation
    The word "hand" is a noun, and the given options are all verbs or adjectives. "Written" is the past participle form of the verb "write," which can be used as an adjective to describe something that has been written. Therefore, "written" is the most appropriate word to complete the sentence.

Out of these options, "lamp" is the only object that is not directly related to communication or written correspondence.
