Dubious

English
1 answer:
Sever21 [200]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Kathy was <em><u>ecstatic</u></em> as she told me that she had <em><u>encounter(e)d</u></em> the "perfect man", as she called him. She insisted he didn't have a single defect. But I was <em><u>dubious</u></em> right from the start. Contrary to Kathy's view, my own opinion is that "perfection" is a(n) <em><u>fallacy</u></em>  - I've never met anyone who was perfect. I must admit that because of my own bad luck in dating I am <em><u>liable</u></em> to be more of a <em><u>pessimist</u></em> than most on this subject. I dated one guy who was so <u><em>miserly</em></u> that when we went to the movies, we had to stay in the theater after the film had ended so he could supplement his income - by searching under the seats for dropped coins. Another was addicted to sausages. He ate sausages for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. His strange eating habits alienated me and our relationship quickly <em><u>evolv(e)d</u></em> from bad to "wurst". Then there were all those fellows who couldn't quite tell the truth. They disclosed so many <em><u>fictitious</u></em> details about their lives that they should have been novelists. To cite a few examples, they told me they were in college (they weren't), they had jobs (they didn't), and they had gotten perfect scores in their SATs (they hadn't). So you can see why I'm apprehensive about encouraging Kathy, who is so <em><u>gullible</u></em> that she believes everything anyone says. I can't wait to meet Mr. Perfect. He's probably a liar or a lunatic. And I'm not sure which is worse.

Explanation:

In the given passage, the words that will correctly be used in the blanks are as follows-

1. Ecstatic which means happy, excited, or feeling wonderful.

2. Encountered which means coming across, meeting, or seeing.

3. Dubious which means uncertain, doubtful, suspicious, etc.

4. Fallacy which suggests something that is logically incorrect or doubtful, invalid.

5. Liable meaning more inclined, prone to lean to one particular thinking or opinion.

6. Pessimist is someone who is always negative, always thinks of the worst instead of hoping for something good.

7. Miserly is one who is stingy, reluctant to spend even on necessary things.

8. Evolved means to develop, to grow or progress, or to change.

9. Fictitious is something that is not true, real.

10. Gullible which means easy to influence, easily.

Insert appropriate form of the verb at this very moment , the international space station _____ ( orbit ) Earth at distance of 2
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

At this very moment, the International Space Station orbits Earth at a distance of 240 miles.

Explanation:

We use the simple present tense when we talk about actions that happen often, habitual actions, or truths that usually do not change or that take some time to change. For example: I sleep at 10 in the evening. / Dogs bark and birds fly. / Dora lives in Spain.

Therefore, since the orbit of the International Space Station is a truth that will most likely take long to change, it seems best to use the simple present to complete the sentence. Since the subject is third-person singular, we must add -s to the verb:

- At this very moment, the International Space Station orbits Earth at a distance of 240 miles.

Note: Another possibility would be the use of the present continuous: "is orbiting". However, that makes it seem this is just a temporary action that will, at any moment, change.
