"Bear" refers to an animal, while "beer" is an alcoholic beverage, neither of which make sense in the context of the sentence.

15. Which word should come first in the dictionary?

Explanation

In a dictionary, words are typically arranged in alphabetical order. In this case, "straight" should come before "strain" and "strict" because "s" comes before both "t" and "r" in the alphabet. Therefore, "straight" would be the word that comes first in the dictionary.

Submit
16. Chose the antonym for the underlined word: The boys were early for school. 

Explanation

The word "early" means before the expected or usual time, while the word "late" means after the expected or usual time. Therefore, "late" is the antonym of "early" in this context.

Submit
17. Pronouns are used in place of verbs.

Explanation

Pronouns are used in place of nouns, not verbs. Pronouns are words that can replace a noun to avoid repetition in a sentence. They can take the place of a person, place, thing, or idea. Verbs, on the other hand, are action words that express an action or a state of being. So, the statement that pronouns are used in place of verbs is incorrect.

Submit
