    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Choose the word below that is a synonym for: * unlocked

    • Fastened

    • Unfastened

    • Untouched

    Correct Answer
    A. Unfastened
    Explanation
    The word "unfastened" is a synonym for "unlocked" because both words describe the state of something not being secured or closed. When something is unfastened, it means that it is not securely or tightly closed, just like when something is unlocked, it is not secured with a lock. Therefore, "unfastened" is the correct answer as it shares a similar meaning with "unlocked".

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Choose the word below that is a synonym for: * decide

    • Tell

    • Refuse

    • Choose

    Correct Answer
    A. Choose
    Explanation
    The word "choose" means to make a decision or to select from a number of options. It is synonymous with the word "decide" as both words refer to the act of making a choice. The other options, "tell" and "refuse," do not have the same meaning as "choose" and therefore are not synonyms for it.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Choose the word below that is a synonym for: * investigate

    • Flee

    • Search

    • Trespass

    Correct Answer
    A. Search
    Explanation
    The word "search" is a synonym for "investigate" because it refers to the act of looking for something or someone in order to find or discover information. When investigating a situation, one typically conducts a search to gather evidence or gather information that will help in understanding the situation better. Therefore, "search" is the correct answer as it shares a similar meaning with "investigate".

    Correct Answer
    blood-curdling
    blood curdling
    bloodcurdling
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "blood-curdling, blood curdling, bloodcurdling." These options all mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably to describe a scream that is so terrifying that it makes someone freeze in fear.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The lion is hiding in the wardrobe?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement states that the lion is hiding in the wardrobe. However, lions are not typically found hiding in wardrobes. Lions are large wild animals that are usually found in grasslands, savannas, or forests. They are not known to hide in man-made structures like wardrobes. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    There are rotten stair boards?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given question states "There are rotten stair boards?" and the correct answer is "True". This implies that the statement is true, indicating that there are indeed rotten stair boards present.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Choose the word below that is a synonym for: * rotten

    • Crumbling

    • Dirty

    • Gloomy

    Correct Answer
    A. Crumbling
    Explanation
    The word "crumbling" is a synonym for "rotten" because both words describe something that is in a state of decay or deterioration. When something is crumbling, it is falling apart or disintegrating, similar to how something that is rotten is decomposing or falling apart. Therefore, "crumbling" can be used interchangeably with "rotten" to describe something that is in a state of disrepair or decay.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Choose the word below that is a synonym for: * balcony

    • Roof

    • Pantry

    • Verandah

    Correct Answer
    A. Verandah
    Explanation
    A verandah is a covered platform that is usually attached to the side of a building and is supported by columns or pillars. It is typically used as an outdoor sitting area or as an extension of the indoor living space. A balcony, on the other hand, is a similar structure, but it is usually elevated and attached to an upper floor of a building. Therefore, verandah and balcony are synonyms as they both refer to outdoor platforms attached to a building, but a verandah is usually on the ground floor while a balcony is on an upper floor.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "All stories start with 'Creep along hallway'" is not true. It is a false statement because not all stories begin with the phrase "Creep along hallway". Stories can start in various ways, with different settings, characters, or events. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Correct Answer
    faint-hearted
    faint hearted
    fainthearted
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "faint-hearted, faint hearted, fainthearted." This is because all three variations of the word "faint-hearted" are acceptable and can be used interchangeably in this context. The sentence suggests that the boys charged from the old house were lacking courage or bravery.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Blood-curdling           spine-chilling           heart-stopping           faint-hearted * A peal of  __________________  laughted broke the silence. (Choose the best option to complete this sentence)

    Correct Answer
    spine-chilling
    spine chilling
    spinechilling
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "spine-chilling, spine chilling, spinechilling" because the phrase "spine-chilling" is used to describe something that is extremely frightening or terrifying. In the given sentence, a "peal of spine-chilling laughter" would imply that the laughter was so scary or unsettling that it caused a break in the silence. The three options provided are all variations of the correct spelling and formatting of "spine-chilling," indicating that any of them would fit grammatically and convey the intended meaning.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Choose the word below that is a synonym for: * nerve

    • Worry

    • Rudeness

    Correct Answer
    A. Courage
    Explanation
    Courage is the correct answer because it is a synonym for "nerve". Nerve refers to the ability to remain calm and determined in a difficult or challenging situation, which is also a characteristic of courage. Both words imply bravery and the ability to face fear or danger without hesitation.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Blood-curdling           spine-chilling           heart-stopping           faint-hearted * Fearfully they listened to the  __________________ noise of chains rattling. (Choose the best option to complete this sentence)

    heart stopping
    heartstopping
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "heart-stopping," "heart stopping," and "heartstopping." These options all correctly complete the sentence by describing the noise as something that causes fear or alarm. The hyphenated form "heart-stopping" is the most commonly used and grammatically correct, but the other two options without the hyphen are also acceptable variations.
