    Correct Answer
    A. To have just
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "to have just." This is because "venirde" is a combination of the verbs "venir" (to come) and "de" (of, from). "Venirde" is used to indicate that an action has just occurred or that someone has just arrived from a specific place. Therefore, "to have just" is the most appropriate meaning for "venirde" in this context.

    Correct Answer
    A. Bright
    Explanation
    The word "bright" is the correct answer because it is the only word in the list that is synonymous with "vif" and "vive," both of which mean lively or full of life. The other words in the list, such as "life," "old," and "dull," do not have the same meaning as "vif" and "vive." Therefore, "bright" is the most appropriate choice.
