After reading the sentences, we can tell we are supposed to use the words in parentheses to form phrases that will complete the blank spaces. We can do it in the following manner:

  1. My brother <u>was on his own</u> when the accident happened.
  2. I <u>gave up on reading</u> the book after the first three chapter because it was so boring.
  3. The heat <u>made it impossible fo</u>r me to get on with my work.

This question requires knowledge about collocations.

<h3>What are collocations?</h3>
  • Collocations are words that are often used together in order to convey meaning. Their joint usage is so common that we say they sound good and natural together.
  • Let's use number 1 above as an example. We must use the word "own" to fill in the blank. We also know that we should say something implying that the brother was alone.
  • The best option is to say <u>he was on his own</u> when the accident happened. "To be on one's own" means to be alone, and it is a common phrase (collocation) to use and express such meaning.

I highly recommend James Madison. the work is simple and if you stick to it you can graduate quickly. the work is simple and the teachers are very interactive. the flow of the school work is all on your time so it's not really a dead line. go on their website and look at pricing and enrollment plans. I know when I signed up I got a discount. you pay a certain amount of money every month. It's kind of expensive but I did it in 6 days tops with just my senior year left :)
