Either way, you have a balanced sentence.
1. Yes, you can use "theft" or "robbery" instead of "burglary" depending on the context and the specific crime being described. However, it's important to note that there are slight differences in their meanings:
- Burglary typically refers to the unlawful entry into a building with the intent to commit a crime, usually theft.
- Theft generally refers to the act of taking someone else's property without their permission.
- Robbery specifically refers to the act of taking someone's property by using force or threat.
2. "Genre" and "kind" can be used interchangeably when discussing TV programs, but "genre" is more commonly used in this context. Both "genre" and "kind" refer to the category or type of TV programs you prefer. For example, genres can include comedy, drama, action, reality, etc.
2-2. When you use "kind" in the plural form "kinds," it implies that you are referring to multiple categories or types rather than just one. So, "What kind of TV programs do you like best?" asks for your preference in a general sense, while "What kinds of TV programs do you like best?" suggests you are looking for preferences across different categories or types of programs.
3. "Quiz programs" and "quiz show programs" can be considered the same in general usage. Both phrases essentially refer to TV programs that involve quizzes or trivia games.
4. In the given information, the leading actor in the TV program is Mr. Kim, and the leading actress is Miss. Lee.
