Question 1

Lisa was wearing a pure white dress, with a gold belt round her _____.

A	bust
B	hips
C	knees
D	waist

Question 1 Explanation:

A belt is worn round the waist, the narrow middle part of the body above the hips. Not hips, because a belt can sit low on the hips, but the usual place for a belt on a dress is the waist.

Question 2

Look at those holes in my fur! I am afraid the _____ have been at it.

A	butterflies
B	insects
C	moths
D	worms

Question 2 Explanation:

Moths are small night insects whose young eat wool and fur and leave holes in clothes. Have been at it means 'have been damaging it'. Not insects, because it is too general; we name the specific creature that eats clothes.

Question 3

That dress isn't really tight. It'll _____ when you wear it.

A	bend
B	expand
C	squeeze
D	stretch

Question 3 Explanation:

Clothes stretch when they become a little bigger or looser as you wear them. Not expand, which is used for things like metal, gases or businesses getting bigger, not for fabric.

Question 4

The suit was badly made and didn't _____ him properly.

A	fit
B	frame
C	meet
D	round

Question 4 Explanation:

Clothes fit you when they are the right size and shape for your body: The suit didn't fit him. The other words do not have this meaning.

Question 5

To say that all teenagers wear jeans and trainers is a _____ generalisation.

A	brushing
B	complete
C	sweeping
D	thorough

Question 5 Explanation:

A sweeping generalisation is a fixed collocation for a statement that is far too general and ignores many exceptions. Not complete or thorough, because they do not form this collocation with generalisation.

Question 6

Excuse me, but I think you've got your pullover on _____.

A	doubled up
B	in reverse
C	inside out
D	upside down

Question 6 Explanation:

Inside out means with the inside part on the outside, so the seams and labels show. Not upside down, which means with the top at the bottom, and that is not possible with a pullover you are wearing.

Question 7

The room was in a terrible mess with a _____ of clothes all over the floor.

A	jumble
B	huddle
C	crowd
D	mixture

Question 7 Explanation:

A jumble is an untidy mixture of things thrown together: a jumble of clothes on the floor. Not mixture, which is neutral and does not suggest a mess. Not huddle or crowd, which are used for people or animals standing close together, not for clothes.

Question 8

That's a nice dress. It _____ you perfectly.

A	costumes
B	goes
C	matches
D	suits

Question 8 Explanation:

If clothes suit you, they look good on you: That colour suits you. Not matches, because one thing matches another thing (e.g. The bag matches your shoes), not a person.

Question 9

Everyone else was so smartly dressed that I felt _____ in my shabby clothes.

A	proud
B	disgraced
C	embarrassed
D	happy

Question 9 Explanation:

You feel embarrassed when you are uncomfortable because you look different or silly in front of other people. Here everyone else is smartly dressed, so the speaker feels uncomfortable in shabby clothes. Not disgraced, which means having lost people's respect because of something very bad you did.

A	attracted
B	fetched
C	lured
D	tempted

Question 10 Explanation:

Attract someone to someone means to make them interested in or drawn to that person: Her smile attracted him to her. Not lured or tempted, because they suggest trickery or wanting something you shouldn't have.
