The Task
The task is to read the sentences, look at the pictures, and fill in the missing adjectives.
Sentences with missing adjectives:
- 1. John is very quiet.
- He always makes so much noise.
- 2. James never talks to the girls in his class. He is very shy.
- 3. Mary looks very pretty in that dress.
- 4. She found a kitten in the street and took it home. She is so kind to animals.
- 5. Ross is a very smart student. He always gets the best marks in the class.
- 6. Tom is so strong that he can lift Charles!
Corresponding adjectives from the pictures:
- pretty
- loud
- shy
- good
- strong
- kind
Explanation of Choices:
- Sentence 1: The description "He always makes so much noise" contradicts "quiet". The intended adjective here is likely "loud" to match the picture of a person shouting, or "quiet" as the opposite of making noise. Given the available picture of "loud", it is assumed that "quiet" should be replaced with "loud" or that the sentence intends to describe someone who is *not* quiet. However, without further context, and observing the provided pictures, 'loud' is the most fitting for the image associated with noise. The sentence is contradictory as written. Assuming the image for 'loud' is meant to illustrate sentence 1, we will use 'loud'.
- Sentence 2: The description "James never talks to the girls in his class" accurately reflects the image labeled "shy", where a person is covering their face.
- Sentence 3: The description "Mary looks very... in that dress" aligns with the image labeled "pretty", suggesting an attractive appearance.
- Sentence 4: The action of finding and taking home a kitten implies kindness towards animals, matching the image labeled "kind".
- Sentence 5: "Ross is a very... student. He always gets the best marks in the class." This indicates intelligence and academic success, which can be associated with being "smart" or "good" at studies. The image labeled "good" shows a person holding up a paper with an 'A' grade, fitting this description.
- Sentence 6: "Tom is so... that he can lift Charles!" This clearly describes physical strength, matching the image labeled "strong".
Note: The word "good" in the context of sentence 5 relates to academic performance, supported by the image of a good grade.
