Перевод задания: Выберите правильный вариант.

1. spacious — Jenny wants enough room for a big desk and two large bookcases. (просторный — Дженни нужно место для большого стола и двух больших книжных шкафов.)
2. isolated — it describes a small town in the countryside, away from the big city. (уединённый — так можно описать небольшой городок в сельской местности, вдали от большого города.)
3. nosy — peeping to see what others are doing means being too curious about their affairs. (любопытная, сующая нос не в своё дело — она подглядывает, чтобы узнать, чем занимаются другие.)
4. vacuum hose. (вакуумный шланг.)
5. lack — the phrase is “the lack of gravity.” (отсутствие — выражение «отсутствие гравитации».)
6. silly — not understanding simple things supports this choice. (глупая — это подходит к описанию человека, который не понимает простых вещей.)
