4. I want new _______ for my birthday.

Explanation

The context of the sentence suggests that the person wants something new for their birthday. Since "clothes" is the only option related to personal belongings or items that can be given as a gift, it is the most suitable answer.

Submit
5. Can you _______ me?

Explanation

The word "hear" is the correct answer because it is the appropriate word to use in the given sentence. The sentence is asking if the person is able to hear the speaker. The word "here" does not make sense in this context as it does not relate to the sense of hearing.

Submit
6. You can pay with cash or write a _______.

Explanation

The correct answer is "cheque" because the sentence is discussing different payment options, and "cheque" is a commonly accepted form of payment. The word "Czech" is a play on words, as it sounds similar to "cheque" but refers to the nationality of someone from the Czech Republic, which is unrelated to the context of the sentence.

Submit
7. That app costs 99 _______.

Explanation

The correct answer is "cents" because the sentence is referring to the cost of the app, which is typically measured in cents rather than sense.

Submit
8. Do you like to eat ______ for breakfast?

Explanation

The correct answer is "cereal" because it is a common food item that is typically consumed for breakfast. "Serial" refers to a series of things, such as a television show or a set of numbers, and is not related to breakfast or food in general.

Submit
9. She _____ with her mouth closed.

Explanation

The correct answer is "chews" because it is the present tense form of the verb "to chew," which means to grind or crush food with the teeth. In this sentence, the word "with her mouth closed" indicates that the action is currently happening, so the present tense form of the verb should be used.

Submit
10. I'm going to _____ it on eBay.

Explanation

The correct answer is "sell." The verb "sell" means to exchange goods or services for money. In this context, the speaker is stating their intention to sell something on eBay, which is an online platform for buying and selling items.
