Great job! Here are the explanations for each answer:
1. The word "manual" comes from the Latin root "man," which means "hand." In the context of the sentence, the word "manual" is used to describe laborers who used their hands and tools (hammers and nails) to build the roof. So, the correct answer is "done by tools."
2. A linking verb is a verb that connects the subject of a sentence with a word that describes or identifies the subject. In the sentence, "Sammy made lunch for us yesterday," the verb "made" is an action verb, not a linking verb. However, in the sentence "I smelled the delicious fruit," the verb "smelled" is a linking verb because it connects the subject "I" with the adjective "delicious." Therefore, the correct answer is "I smelled the delicious fruit."
3. An action verb is a verb that expresses physical or mental action. In the sentence, "My sister lost her computer yesterday," the verb "lost" is a past tense form of the action verb "lose." However, in the sentence "She becomes angry about it every few minutes," the verb "becomes" is an action verb that describes the subject "she" physically or mentally changing state. Therefore, the correct answer is "she becomes angry about it every few minutes."
4. The word that best completes the sentence depends on the action the speaker wants to perform with their chemistry teacher. The word "investigate" implies a thorough examination, "discover" suggests finding something new or unknown, "evaluate" means to assess or judge, but the word "interview" implies having a conversation or discussion with the teacher to gather information. Hence, the correct answer is "interview."
5. The words "information, awareness, intelligence" all relate to knowledge. However, when considering the word that specifically fits best, "knowledge" is the most appropriate choice as it directly encompasses the idea of possessing information, awareness, and intelligence. Therefore, the correct answer is "knowledge."
