Explanation:

1. No context is given for "Sean and Seth’s rickety tree - house", so an open - ended completion could be something like "was full of old books and toys".
2. Suzanne and her dad have built a platform in the oak tree. Next, they might start adding walls or a roof to the tree - house.
3. "Whistle" has a silent 'h'. In English, some words have letters that are not pronounced.
4. A metaphor compares two unlike things without using "like" or "as". Here, leaves are directly compared to a roof, so it's a metaphor.
5. "Divulge" means to reveal or disclose. The context shows the speaker won't tell the location of the secret hideout despite threats.

Tuesday:

1. "Hammer" can be used to finish the railing (as a tool) and "hammer away" is an expression meaning to work hard on something like homework.
2. "Thier" should be "Their" and "peice" should be "piece".
3. The superlative form of "bad" is "worst".
4. "Breathtaking" is the most effective word as it conveys a stronger sense of awe than "beautiful" or "nice" when describing a view.
