To find the basic word in each sentence, you need to identify the word that can be used as a more general or simpler alternative. Here's how you can determine the basic words for each sentence:
1. "Our class will put forward for consideration a plan for collecting food for needy families."
The word that can be replaced is "consideration," which can be replaced with "propose" because proposing a plan also involves putting it forward for consideration.
2. "The cooking club plants to study the similarities and differences of prices of fresh meat at 2 stores."
The word that can be replaced is "study," which can be replaced with "compare." This is because comparing involves examining and identifying similarities and differences.
3. "Perhaps posters will persuade everyone to participate."
The word that can be replaced is "persuade," which can be replaced with "convince." Convincing someone involves persuading them to change their opinion or belief.
4. "We will put several large boxes in the lobby to hold all the food."
The word that can be replaced is "hold," which can be replaced with "contain." This is because containing something means to hold or store it within a specific space.
The four basic words are: propose, compare, convince, contain.
