22. Why don't you __________ the table for dinner?

Put

Place

Lie

Lay

The verb "lay" is the correct answer because it is used to indicate the act of placing something in a horizontal position. In the context of the question, "lay" is the appropriate verb to use when setting the table for dinner. "Put" and "place" can also be used in certain situations, but "lay" specifically refers to positioning something flat or horizontal, making it the most suitable choice in this scenario. "Lie" and "lie" are incorrect options as they refer to the act of reclining or being in a horizontal position oneself, rather than placing an object.

The word "talk" is the correct answer because it is the most appropriate verb to use in this context. When someone sits at a table and starts communicating with another person, they usually engage in a conversation by talking. The other options, such as "tell," "say," and "converse," could also be used in certain situations, but "talk" is the most general and commonly used verb for this scenario.

Therefore, having classes in the "open" air makes sense as it suggests being outdoors and enjoying the favorable weather.
