2. The town dump is a place where the town's garbage is placed.

Explanation

The statement is true because a town dump is indeed a place where the town's garbage is placed. It is a designated area where waste materials are disposed of, typically in a controlled and regulated manner. The town dump serves as a central location for collecting and managing the town's waste, ensuring proper waste management practices are followed to minimize environmental impact and maintain public health and safety.

Submit
3. A drinking fountain is a place to get soda pop.

Explanation

The given statement is false because a drinking fountain is not a place to get soda pop. A drinking fountain is a public fixture that provides fresh water for drinking purposes, typically found in parks, schools, or public spaces. Soda pop is typically obtained from vending machines or stores, not from a drinking fountain.

Submit
4. If the bushes are thorny, then they will not hurt you.

Explanation

The statement is a conditional statement with the form "If A, then B." In this case, A is "the bushes are thorny" and B is "they will not hurt you." The statement is saying that if the bushes are thorny, then they will not hurt you. However, this is not necessarily true. Just because the bushes are thorny does not mean they will not hurt you. They could still hurt you if you come into contact with them, regardless of whether they are thorny or not. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Submit
5. Chattered means, 'clicked together, as in cold or fear"

Explanation

The statement is true because "chattered" refers to the sound made when someone's teeth click together due to cold or fear. This word is commonly used to describe the physical reaction of teeth chattering in response to extreme temperatures or intense emotions.

Submit
6. Lap is to lick up or slurp.

Explanation

The statement "Lap is to lick up or slurp" is true. "Lap" refers to the action of using the tongue to lick up liquid or food. It is commonly used to describe the way animals drink water or consume liquids. Slurping is a similar action that involves making a loud sucking noise while drinking or eating. Both actions involve using the tongue to consume liquid or food, so the statement is correct.

Submit
7. If you are glaring at someone, you are angry.

Explanation

If you are glaring at someone, it means you are staring at them in an angry or hostile way. Glaring is often associated with anger or displeasure, as it conveys a strong negative emotion towards the person being stared at. Therefore, the statement "If you are glaring at someone, you are angry" is true.

Submit
8. To borrow means you get to keep something that doesn't belong to you.

Explanation

The statement "To borrow means you get to keep something that doesn't belong to you" is incorrect. Borrowing implies temporarily using or taking something from someone with the intention of returning it. It does not involve keeping something that doesn't belong to you permanently. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Submit
9. If my dog is eager to eat, then she doesn't go to her food bowl. She just lies down beside it, uninterested.

Explanation

The statement contradicts itself. It states that if the dog is eager to eat, then she doesn't go to her food bowl but instead lies down beside it uninterested. However, if the dog is eager to eat, it is expected that she would go to her food bowl and show interest in eating. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Submit
10. If I am going to "check out" a library book, then I can only look at it at the Library. 

Explanation

The statement is false because when you "check out" a library book, it means you are borrowing it and taking it home or to another location outside of the library. Therefore, you can look at and read the book outside of the library.

Submit
11. If something has been glued together, then it has been sewn.

Explanation

The statement suggests that if something has been glued together, then it has been sewn. However, this is not necessarily true. Gluing and sewing are two different methods of joining materials together. Gluing involves using an adhesive to bond materials, while sewing involves using a needle and thread to stitch materials together. Therefore, the correct answer is false as gluing something together does not imply that it has been sewn.
