    When I say that I live close to the church, I am telling you my ________________location.

    • Absolute

    • Relative

    Correct Answer
    A. Relative
    Explanation
    When someone says they live close to the church, they are indicating their relative location. This means that their proximity to the church is being described in relation to their own residence. The term "relative" implies that the location is being compared or referenced to something else, in this case, the person's home. It does not provide an exact or precise location, but rather a general indication of proximity.

    This question is asking about the theme that is represented by cities having lots of pollution and garbage.

    Explanation
    The given correct answer for this question is "Physical characteristics" because when we mention a beautiful lake and mountains in the background while describing a place, we are referring to the natural features and attributes of that location.

    In the midwest, there are very large fields and  very large farms.  The people who live there could say they live in a farming ______________.

    • Place

    • Location

    • Region

    Correct Answer
    A. Region
    Explanation
    The term "region" is the most appropriate choice to complete the sentence because it refers to a specific area or district with distinct characteristics, such as the large fields and farms mentioned in the question. "Place" and "location" are more general terms that do not convey the specific agricultural nature of the area. Therefore, "region" is the best fit in this context.

    A. Region
    Explanation
    The word "region" refers to a specific area or part of a larger area. In this context, when we say we live in the south where most days are sunny and warm, we are describing the specific region or area where we reside. This suggests that the climate and weather conditions in that particular area are generally characterized by sunny and warm days.
