Answer :
The student is being asked to choose the most suitable answer for each statement based on context clues and logical reasoning. Here's how you can determine the best choice for each:
I like living here because
a. I make many choices
b. it is a nice community- The phrase 'I like living here' usually points towards something positive about the place. Option b, 'it is a nice community,' accurately describes a pleasant living environment and thus is the more logical choice.
I want to live in Hawaii because
a. it has good weather
b. smoking causes lung cancer- Option a, 'it has good weather,' is clearly related to a positive quality of Hawaii, making it the correct choice. Option b is unrelated to the reason for wanting to live in Hawaii.
The storm was very bad, but
a. all of the people survived
b. it went a very long distance- The word 'but' introduces a contrast to the bad situation. Option a, 'all of the people survived,' provides a hopeful outcome to the bad storm, making it the best choice.
We closed the door, but
a. the dog escaped
b. it was an individual
- Closing a door generally implies security, and the use of 'but' suggests that something unexpected happened. Therefore, option a, 'the dog escaped,' is the surprising contrast and is the suitable answer.
