    Explanation
    When the surface of a watch has some very small cuts, not deep, it is considered to be scratched. Scratches refer to shallow marks or abrasions on the surface of an object caused by friction or contact with another object. In this context, the watch is not torn, stained, or leaking, but rather has superficial cuts that result in it being scratched.

    Correct Answer
    A. Dented
    Explanation
    When a car is hit from the back, the force of the impact causes the bumper to change shape, resulting in a dent. A dent is a depression or hollow caused by an object striking or pressing into a surface, which accurately describes the change in shape of the car's bumper after being hit from the back.

    • Cracked

    Correct Answer
    A. Stained
    Explanation
    The correct answer is stained. When a liquid like Coke is spilled on a carpet, it can leave behind a stain. Stains are discolorations or marks that are difficult to remove and can permanently alter the appearance of the carpet. Therefore, the spillage of Coke on the carpet has most likely caused a stain.

    • Shrunk

    • Torn

    Correct Answer
    A. Missing

    Correct Answer
    A. Torn
    Explanation
    When something is torn, it means that it has been pulled apart or ripped. This is the best fit for the given statement as the other options do not necessarily imply being pulled apart. Leaking refers to the escape of liquid or gas, cracked refers to a break or fissure, and shrunk refers to a reduction in size.

    When a window is broken but not separated into pieces, it is ____________. - ProProfs

    When a window is broken but not separated into pieces, it is ____________.

    • Cracked

    • Chipped

    • Torn

    • Scratched

    Correct Answer
    A. Cracked
    Explanation
    When a window is cracked, it means that there is a line or lines on the surface of the glass, indicating that it has been damaged. Unlike chipped or torn, which imply more severe damage or separation of the material, a cracked window is still intact and not broken into pieces. Scratched refers to a different type of damage, where the surface of the glass has been scraped or marked. Therefore, cracked is the most appropriate term to describe a window that is broken but not separated into pieces.

    Correct Answer
    A. Damaged
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "damaged" because when a car crashes into a tree, it is likely to experience a significant amount of harm or destruction. The impact of the crash can cause various types of damage to the car, such as broken parts, bent metal, or shattered glass. Therefore, "damaged" is the most appropriate word to describe the condition of the car after the accident.
