Vocabulary

A. turn ✓
"Turn off" is the correct phrasal verb for switching off lights. It's the standard, natural way to say this in English.

B. give ✗
"Give off" means to produce or emit (like "the candle gives off light"), not to switch something off.

C. go ✗
"Go off" typically means to alarm or activate (like "the alarm goes off"), not to deactivate.

D. get ✗
"Get off" means to remove or exit (like "get off the bus"), not to switch off a light.

A. do ✓
"Do" is the correct verb here. "What do you do for a living?" is a standard English phrase asking about someone's job or profession.

B. have ✗
"What do you have for a living?" doesn't make grammatical sense. You don't "have" a living—you earn or do one.

C. make ✗
While "make" can relate to income ("make money"), the fixed phrase is "do for a living," not "make for a living."

D. go ✗
"What do you go for a living?" is incorrect grammar. "Go" doesn't work in this context at all.

A. food ✓
"Pizza" is a type of food, so this completes the sentence logically: "My favorite food is pizza."

B. drinks ✗
Pizza is not a drink—it's a solid meal, so this doesn't make sense.

C. family ✗
Pizza has nothing to do with family members, so this is illogical.

D. jobs ✗
Pizza is not an occupation or job, so this doesn't fit.

A. hot ✓
A "hot climate" by definition means consistently warm temperatures. "Hot" directly describes the temperature characteristic that makes it warm and sunny year-round.

B. cold ✗
Cold climates are characterized by low temperatures, which is the opposite of warm and sunny.

C. rainy ✗
Rainy climates have frequent precipitation and cloud cover, which blocks sunshine and prevents it from always being sunny.

D. windy ✗
Windy refers to air movement, not temperature or sunlight—a place can be windy and still be cold or rainy.

A. protect ✓
This is correct because "take care of" and "protect" work together logically—they're synonymous actions. If we care for the environment, we must protect it from harm.

B. destroy ✗
Contradicts the first part of the sentence. "Take care of" and "destroy" are opposite actions, so this doesn't make sense.

C. ignore ✗
Also contradicts the meaning. Ignoring nature means we're *not* taking care of it, so these ideas clash.

D. pollute ✗
Like "destroy," this is the opposite of taking care. Polluting harms the environment rather than protecting it.

A. animals ✓

Cows are mammals—they have fur, breathe air, eat food, and give birth to live young. All of these are characteristics of animals, making this the correct classification.

Why the others are wrong:
- B. plants – Plants make their own food from sunlight; cows eat plants and move around
- C. insects – Insects have six legs and exoskeletons; cows have four legs and fur
- D. birds – Birds have feathers and lay eggs; cows have fur and give birth to live calves

A. village ✓
A village is a small settlement in the countryside—exactly what the sentence describes. This is the perfect fit.

B. mountain ✗
Mountains are natural landforms, not places where people live as communities. You can't live "in" a mountain.

C. city ✗
Cities are large urban areas, the opposite of small. The sentence says "small," so this contradicts it.

D. river ✗
Rivers are bodies of water, not settlements. People live near or by rivers, but not in them as communities.

A. Mattress ✓
You sleep directly on a mattress every night, so its comfort directly affects sleep quality. A good mattress supports your body properly and helps you rest well.

B. Chair ✗
Chairs aren't designed for sleeping—they're too small and don't provide full body support for a full night's rest.

C. Table ✗
Tables are furniture for eating or working, not for sleeping. You can't lie down comfortably on one.

D. Sofa ✗
While you *can* nap on a sofa, it's not ideal for regular sleep—it's typically too short and doesn't provide proper spinal support like a bed does.

Why A (go) is correct:
"Go" is the most natural, general verb to describe traveling to work by any method of transportation, including bus.

Why the others are wrong:
- B (walk) - Contradicts "by bus"; you don't walk when taking a bus
- C (drive) - Contradicts "by bus"; driving means using your own vehicle
- D (fly) - Unrealistic for daily commuting; most people don't fly to work regularly

A. free ✓
"Free time" is a common phrase meaning time when you're not busy or working—the perfect time for leisure activities like reading.

B. busy ✗
"Busy time" doesn't make sense here; you wouldn't enjoy reading during busy periods when you're stressed.

C. working ✗
You can't enjoy leisure reading during work time—that's when you're doing your job, not relaxing.

D. sleeping ✗
You can't read while sleeping; this doesn't fit the context at all.

Correct answer: A. come up with

"Come up with" is a phrasal verb meaning to create or develop an idea/solution. This is the standard, idiomatic expression used in English.

Why the others are wrong:
- B. come with – This means something arrives or is included together with something else (e.g., "The laptop comes with software"), not to create or develop.
- C. come – Incomplete; doesn't express the meaning of creating or developing a solution.
- D. came – Wrong tense; the sentence needs the base form after the modal verb "need" (you need to come up with, not came).

A. get ✓
"Get up" is a phrasal verb meaning to wake and rise from bed. This is the natural, idiomatic way to express waking early.

B. go ✗
"Go up early" doesn't make sense in this context—it suggests moving upward physically, not waking up.

C. turn ✗
"Turn up early" means to arrive early, not to wake up early. It's the wrong meaning.

D. walk ✗
"Walk up early" is unnatural and doesn't convey waking up or being awake at a specific time.

A. good ✓
"Good sense of humor" is a common, natural phrase meaning she finds things funny and makes others laugh.

B. huge ✗
While you *can* say someone has a "huge sense of humor," it's much less common and sounds awkward in everyday speech.

C. small ✗
"Small sense of humor" doesn't make logical sense—humor isn't measured by size. You might say someone has a "poor" or "dry" sense of humor instead.

D. brown ✗
Brown is a color and has no connection to describing humor; this is clearly incorrect.

Correct answer: called off
"Called off" means to cancel something. It's the right phrasal verb here—"They've called off the meeting" means they cancelled it.

Why the others are wrong:
- called on means to visit someone or ask them to do something ("They called on us for help"), not to cancel
- filled in means to complete a form or substitute for someone, not related to meetings
- called alone is too vague and doesn't convey the meaning of cancellation without the "off"

A. house ✓
A house is a building specifically designed and built for people to live in—it's a residence with rooms for sleeping, eating, and daily activities.

B. car ✗
While some people might sleep in a car temporarily, it's not designed as a living space and most people don't live there permanently.

C. school ✗
Schools are places where people go to learn, not where they live (though boarding schools have dorms, the school itself isn't a residence).

D. office ✗
Offices are workplaces where people go during the day to work, not homes where they live.

Why A is correct:
"Go for a walk" is a common phrase meaning to take a leisurely stroll. Parks are typical places where people walk.

Why the others are wrong:
- B (drive): You don't typically "go for a drive" *in* a park—parks are too small. You'd drive *to* a park, but not around inside it.
- C (fly): "Go for a fly" isn't a standard phrase. Flying also isn't a normal park activity.
- D (swim): While some parks have pools or ponds, "go for a swim" is less common than "go for a walk," and not all parks have water.

Why A is correct:
The sentence asks about a *person* you called. "Who" is the question word for people, making it the right choice.

Why the others are wrong:
- B (Where) - asks about location ("Where did you go?"), not who you contacted
- C (What) - asks about things or objects ("What did you buy?"), not a person
- D (When) - asks about time ("When did you arrive?"), not who you called

A. fill in ✓
"Fill in" is the correct phrasal verb for completing a form by writing information in the blanks.

Why the others are wrong:
- B. fill — Incomplete; "fill" alone doesn't convey the meaning of completing a form. You need the particle "in" to make it work.
- C. write — Too vague; you write *on* or *in* a form, but "write" doesn't clearly mean to complete it.
- D. enter — While you can "enter" data, this sounds more technical and is less natural for forms in everyday English.

A. taking ✓
"Taking the bus" is the correct phrase—it means using public transportation. This is the natural, idiomatic expression in English.

B. driving ✗
You drive a car (which you own or control), not a bus as a passenger. If you were driving the bus yourself, you'd be the bus driver, not a passenger.

C. walking ✗
Walking means going on foot, not using any vehicle or transportation.

D. flying ✗
Flying means traveling by airplane. There's no plane mentioned, and this would be an unusual choice for getting to a city center.

Correct answer: A. find out

"Find out" is the correct phrasal verb meaning "discover" or "learn about something." The sentence needs the base form "find out" after the auxiliary verb "didn't" (didn't + base verb = correct grammar).

Why the others are wrong:
- B. found out – Uses past tense, but "didn't" already shows past tense, so you don't add another past-tense verb
- C. find – Incomplete; "find" alone doesn't mean "learn about," and the sentence would be grammatically awkward
- D. found – Same issue as B; you can't use two past-tense forms together with "didn't"

A. pick up ✓
This phrasal verb means to collect or retrieve someone, which is exactly what you do at an airport—you go there to collect your mother.

Why the others are wrong:
- B. take off – means to remove something or when a plane departs; you're not removing your mother or departing
- C. get out – means to exit or leave a place; doesn't fit the action of meeting someone at the airport
- D. get over – means to recover from something (like an illness); completely unrelated to airports or meeting people
