Your answers are highlighted below.

Question 1

I am growing some geraniums in my window _____.

A	box
B	case
C	shelf
D	tin

Question 1 Explanation:

A window box is a long, narrow container fixed outside a window, where people grow flowers. Case, shelf and tin do not form this fixed phrase.

Question 2

My mother _____ very fine roses in her garden.

A	breeds
B	develops
C	grows
D	rises

Question 2 Explanation:

We grow plants and flowers in a garden: She grows tomatoes and roses. Not breeds: to breed roses means to create new types of rose, not simply to have them in your garden. Rises is wrong because rise has no object.

Question 3

As the flowers had _____ she threw them away.

A	dead
B	discoloured
C	faded
D	fallen

Question 3 Explanation:

When flowers fade, they lose their colour and freshness and start to die, so you throw them away. Not dead: it is an adjective, so had dead is not possible (we say had died).

Question 4

Playing games in the flower garden is _____.

A	defended
B	dismissed
C	forbidden
D	refused

Question 4 Explanation:

Forbidden means not allowed by a rule: Smoking is forbidden here. Refused and dismissed are used for offers, requests or people, not for activities that are not allowed.

Question 5

I'll put the flowers in this _____. They'll look nice there.

A	bucket
B	crystal
C	mug
D	vase

Question 5 Explanation:

A vase is a container, often made of glass, used for holding cut flowers. A bucket or a mug can hold water, but we don't usually put flowers in them to look nice.

Question 6

After searching for a long time, the children found their ball in the _____ by the lilac bushes.

A	underground
B	undergrowth
C	underpass
D	underworld

Question 6 Explanation:

Undergrowth means the bushes and plants growing thickly close to the ground, where things are easy to lose. An underpass is a road or path under another road, and the underground is a train system or the space below the ground.

Question 7

Look! He has brought you a beautiful _____ of flowers.

A	branch
B	bunch
C	bush
D	twig

Question 7 Explanation:

A bunch of flowers is a group of flowers held or tied together: He gave her a bunch of roses. A branch and a twig are parts of a tree, and a bush is a whole plant.

Question 8

I am going into the garden to _____ some flowers.

A	grip
B	pick
C	seize
D	snatch

Question 8 Explanation:

We pick flowers or fruit when we take them from the plant: pick some apples. Grip, seize and snatch mean to hold or take something quickly and with force.

Question 9

The roses were still _____ in December when the first snow began to fall.

A	blooming
B	ripening
C	fading
D	sprouting

Question 9 Explanation:

When flowers bloom, they are open and flowering. The word still tells us it was surprising to see open roses so late, when snow was already falling. Not ripening: fruit ripens, flowers don't. Not sprouting: seeds and young shoots sprout when they start to grow.

Question 10

He _____ his rose bushes carefully with insecticide every week.

A	distributed
B	spat
C	sprayed
D	spread

Question 10 Explanation:

To spray means to cover something with tiny drops of liquid, and we use this verb for insecticide: spray the plants. Not spread: we spread soft things like butter or a thin layer over a surface, not a liquid in drops.
