    If something is packed tightly into a space it is

    • Wedged

    • Refuge

    • Slunk

    Correct Answer
    A. Wedged
    Explanation
    When something is "wedged" into a space, it means that it is tightly packed or squeezed into a narrow or confined area. This suggests that the object is firmly lodged in place and difficult to remove or dislodge. The word "wedged" implies a sense of pressure and tightness, indicating that the space is completely filled or occupied by the object. Therefore, "wedged" is the correct answer as it best describes the situation of something being tightly packed into a space.

    After the bad performance, the actor "slunk" away behind stage. This means that the actor moved away quietly and discreetly, possibly feeling embarrassed or ashamed of their performance. "Stranded" and "perched" do not convey the same sense of stealth or shame, making them incorrect choices.

    The model sat there _______ on his stool while the artists sketched him.

    • Stranded

    • Bearable

    • Perched

    Correct Answer
    A. Perched
    Explanation
    The word "perched" fits best in this sentence because it implies that the model was sitting in a high or elevated position on his stool, like a bird perched on a branch. This suggests that the model was sitting very still and posed, allowing the artists to sketch him accurately. The words "stranded" and "bearable" do not convey the same visual image or meaning in this context.

    A shooting star is an example of a

    • Myth

    • Phenomenon

    • Refuge

    Correct Answer
    A. Phenomenon
    Explanation
    A shooting star is considered a phenomenon because it is a natural event that occurs in the night sky. It is caused by the entry of a small meteoroid into the Earth's atmosphere, which creates a streak of light as it burns up due to friction. Shooting stars are often seen during meteor showers and are a captivating sight for observers. They are not a myth or a refuge, but rather a scientific occurrence that can be explained by the laws of physics.

Therefore, the statement "If a situation is perfect and can't get any better, it is ideal" is true.
