Great! Here's an explanation for each question:
1. Our high school would not ________ until mid September.
The correct answer is (b) re-open. To understand this, we need to know the correct spelling convention for combining the prefix "re-" and the verb "open." In general, when adding a prefix that ends with a vowel (like "re-") to a word that starts with a vowel (like "open"), a hyphen is usually used to separate the two vowels. Therefore, the correct spelling is "re-open."
2. We were enjoying our break by indulging in ______ activities.
The correct answer is (b) child-like. When a compound adjective, like "child-like," is formed by combining two words, there is typically a hyphen between the words. The hyphen helps to clarify that "child" and "like" are functioning together as a single unit modifying the word "activities."
3. and enjoying our _______ existence.
The correct answer is (a) semi independent. In this case, "semi-" acts as a prefix to the word "independent." When a prefix is added to a word without requiring a hyphen, it's referred to as a closed compound. Thus, the correct spelling is "semi independent" without any hyphen.
4. free from _______ and tests.
The correct answer is (a) homework. In this case, "home-" stands as a prefix to the word "work." Similar to the explanation in question 3, when the prefix doesn't require a hyphen, it's considered a closed compound. Therefore, the correct spelling is "homework" without any hyphen.
Well done on your answers!
