I looked this question up and found it online. Even without the crossword puzzle, we can answer it because of the hint sentences. They are as follows:
1. I ________ pictures.
2. I ________ my grandfather.
3. I ________ exercises.
4. I ________ books.
Answer:
1. I draw pictures.
2. I help my grandfather.
3. I do exercises.
4. I read books.
Explanation:
For this question, we need to both unscramble the verbs and decide where they go.
If by looking at the scrambled letters you find it difficult to figure out what word they spell out, the best strategy is to read the sentences. They offer context. For example, suppose you couldn't figure out EARD. When you see "I _______ books," you will quickly realize that EARD spells READ because what we usually do with books is read them. The same works for the other sentences.
The light in CROOKS' room is "meagre". This suggests the lack of happiness and hope CROOKS holds - represented through his room's dismal (dark) description. This shows that the light tries to get input never manages to penetrate the darkness.
