    • In the black

    • In the red

    • Crunchy

    Correct Answer
    A. In the red
    Explanation
    The phrase "in the red" is a financial idiom that means being in debt or experiencing financial loss. In the given context, the statement "The hotel has been closed for about a month, we haven't had any profit lately" indicates that the hotel has been experiencing a lack of profit or financial loss. Therefore, the correct answer is "In the red."

    • Crunchy

    • Squeamish

    • Screwed up

    Correct Answer
    A. Squeamish
    Explanation
    The word "squeamish" means easily disgusted or nauseated. The sentence suggests that David is unable to even look at breastmilk in a bottle, indicating that he is extremely sensitive or repulsed by it. Therefore, the word "squeamish" accurately describes David's reaction and fits well in the sentence.
