Directions: Choose the correct answer inside the
parentheses.
People judge unfairly all the time. We may
be (judge, judged) by our appearance, the way
we talk, or just by the material we own. People’s
first impressions (mean, means) a lot, but the

appearance. Before we make an assessment on
the kind of person we think someone is, we
should stop and get to know (him, them) first.

earthquake was such a big deal, but it was
obviously very frightening for some
people.
28. 2. My dog has long yellow-white fur,
pointy ears and a long snout. Her head
comes to my knees. From the tip of her
nose to the tip of her long tail, she is
about four feet long. She loves to go
for walks, but she is easily frightened
by loud noises and commotion.
Sometimes, she gets so scared that she
runs away.
29. 3. Owning a pet from the pound or Animal
Rescue League has many advantages. First
of all, a child feels good about rescuing an
abandoned or abused animal and giving it a
whole new life. Besides having a pet also

and exercise the pet. I hope that everyone
will consider adopting an animal.
