The word "No one" implies that there was nobody who saw the customer waiting at the register. This suggests that there was a lack of assistance or attention from any individual in the given situation.

Explanation

The correct answer is "interested". In the sentence, the word "interested" is used to describe how we all feel about the results of the investigation. It indicates that we have a keen or curious desire to know or learn more about the investigation's findings.

5. We were very grateful _____ the present.

Explanation

The word "grateful" is usually followed by the preposition "for" to express appreciation or thankfulness for something received. In this sentence, "for" is the correct preposition to complete the phrase "grateful for the present."

Submit
6. The cost of living is steadily __________.

Explanation

The correct answer is "rising" because the phrase "steadily" indicates a continuous increase in the cost of living. The word "risen" is the past participle form and does not convey the ongoing nature of the increase. "Raising" and "arising" are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the upward movement of the cost of living.

Submit
7. We wanted to ________ that the contract was completely legally binding.

Explanation

The word "ensure" means to make certain or guarantee something. In the given sentence, the speaker wants to convey that they wanted to make sure that the contract was completely legally binding. The word "insure" refers to protecting against financial loss, so it does not fit the context. "Assure" means to reassure or give confidence, but it does not convey the idea of making something certain. "Make assure" is not a grammatically correct phrase. Therefore, "ensure" is the correct answer.

Submit
8. They are accustomed ____ beginning work at 9am.

Explanation

The correct answer is "to". "Accustomed" is followed by the preposition "to" to indicate familiarity or habit. In this sentence, it means that the subject is used to or familiar with starting work at 9am.

Submit
9. _________ Sally, you are the only person who could complete this task.

Explanation

Submit

Explanation
