2. She ____ hungry

Explanation

The correct answer is "isn't" or "is not" because both options are contractions of "is not" which is the correct form to use in this sentence. The sentence structure requires the use of the verb "is" to describe a state of being, and the negative form is formed by adding "not" after the verb. Therefore, "isn't" or "is not" is the appropriate choice to indicate that she is not hungry.

3. We _____ tired from the hard work.

Explanation

The correct answer is "aren't, are not" because both "aren't" and "are not" are contractions of the verb "to be" in the negative form. In this sentence, we are expressing that we are not tired from the hard work.

4. He ____ sad

Explanation

The correct answer is "isn't, is not" because both "isn't" and "is not" are contractions of the verb "is" with the negative particle "not".

In this case, the word "sad" is being used as an adjective to describe the subject, indicating that the subject is not experiencing sadness.
