Both your answers are right.

Correct! The word "manifestation" in the first sentence means an expression, so the best matching word is C. And in the second sentence, "ensued" means began, so the best matching word is B. Good job!

You are correct!

1. The best word that matches the word "manifestation" in this context is C. expression. It means that giving flowers to your spouse is an expression of love.

2. The best word that matches the word "ensued" in this context is B. began. It means that after the barricades fell down, a riot began.

You are correct! For question 1, the word "manifestation" means the expression or display of something, so the word that best matches it is "C. expression."

For question 2, the word "ensued" means to happen or occur afterward, typically as a consequence. So, the word that best matches it is "B. began."

Well done on your choices! Always remember to carefully read the sentence and identify the meaning of the word in italics to find the most appropriate word match.
