Question
- complete the text with the correct pair of words.
- as she crossed the finish line, sweat dripped from every ____ in maggies body.
though her muscles ached all over, she still managed to ____ her arms in victory.
- poor... raise
poor... rise
pore... rise
pore... raise
Brief Explanations
- For the first blank, we need a noun related to the body where sweat comes out. "Pore" refers to a tiny opening in the skin, while "poor" is an adjective meaning lacking in quality or wealth. So "pore" is correct here.
- For the second blank, we need a verb that means to lift or move (her arms) up. "Raise" is a transitive verb that means to lift or move something up, while "rise" is an intransitive verb that means to move upwards (e.g., the sun rises). Since we have a direct object "her arms", we use "raise".
