Answer: C) Joyful
Explanation: A synonym is a word that has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word. The word “Joyful” means feeling, expressing, or causing great happiness and pleasure, which makes it a synonym for “happy.” The other options (Sad, Angry, Tired) are not related to happiness and therefore are not synonyms for “happy.”
6、What is the correct way to use a semicolon in the following sentence?
She loves cooking; her brother prefers gardening.

D)She loves cooking; her brother prefers gardening.
Answer: D) She loves cooking; her brother prefers gardening.
Explanation: A semicolon is used to connect two independent clauses that are closely related in thought but could stand as sentences on their own. In this case, both “She loves cooking” and “her brother prefers gardening” are complete thoughts and can be separate sentences. However, because they are related in the context of describing what each sibling enjoys, a semicolon is the appropriate punctuation to link them. Options A, B, and C either do not use the semicolon correctly or introduce unnecessary punctuation.
7、What is the past tense of the verb “do”?

The dream was to grow into a tall tree and provide shade for the village children. However, the seed was very afraid of the journey it would have to undertake to fulfill its dream.
One day, a wise old owl came to visit the seed. “Why do you look so worried,
little seed?” asked the owl. “I’m scared to grow,” replied the seed. “I might get eaten by an animal or stepped on by a villager.” The owl smiled and said, “Every living thing must face challenges to achieve its purpo se. If you stay as you are, you will never realize your dream.”
These words gave the seed courage. It decided to be brave and start its journey upward. The seed pushed through the soil, reached towards the sun, and grew into a small sapling. Despite the difficulties it faced, such as harsh weather and curious animals, the seed persevered.

On a sunny Saturday morning, Lily and her family decided to take a leisurely walk in the nearby park. The park was lush with green trees and colorful flowers, and the air was filled with the chirping of birds. Lily was excited to explore the park with her siblings and parents.
As they walked along the trail, they suddenly came across a small, shaggy dog lying in the grass. The dog looked thin and weary, and it was wagging its tail weakly. Lily’s heart went out to the poor creature.
“Look, Mom! There’s a lost dog!” Lily exclaimed, running towards the dog.
Her mother, who was a few steps behind, quickly joined her. “Let’s see if we can help him,” she said.
Lily knelt down and gently patted the dog’s head. The dog’s eyes filled with gratitude, and it nuzzled against her hand. Her siblings, who were following
closely, also gathered around to see what was happening.
After a moment, Lily’s father came over. “What do we do now?” he asked.
Lily thought for a moment. “Let’s take him home and give him some food and water. Then, we can put up posters around the neighborhood to find his owner,” she suggested.
Her fa mily agreed, and they carried the dog back to their house. Lily’s mother made a warm bowl of soup and some fresh water for the dog. The dog lapped up the soup hungrily, and its eyes lit up with joy.
Throughout the day, Lily and her family made posters with the dog’s description and a contact number for anyone who might recognize the dog. They hung the posters in the park, near the dog’s discovery spot, and in the neighborhood.
The next morning, Lily’s father received a call from a woman who had recognized the dog as her neighbor’s pet. The woman was overjoyed to have her beloved dog back and thanked Lily and her family for their kindness.
At the end of the story, Lily felt a sense of pride and happiness. She realized that even a small act of kindness could make a big difference in someone’s life.
