8e pick the winner
circle the word that best fits into the sentence. then write a sentence below that uses the word you didnt pick in a meaningful way.

1. i refuse to (patronize or counterfeit) the movie theater after they kicked us out for talking.
2. the pickpocket could (lurk or pluck) the wallet out of someones pocket and put it back empty without drawing anyones attention.
3. yuri was (disheartened or devoured) when he realized how far he would have to climb to get to the top of the mountain
4. the town threw an (emblematic or exuberant) celebration for the knight who killed the mighty dragon.
5. kristina hasnt responded to my party invitation yet, but i (ponder or presume) shell be there since shes my best friend.

Explanation:

1. "Patronize" means to be a customer of. "Counterfeit" means to fake. Since the person is talking about not being a customer (after being kicked out), "patronize" is correct. For "counterfeit": The criminal tried to counterfeit money.
2. "Pluck" means to pull out. "Lurk" means to hide and wait. Since the pick - pocket is taking the wallet out, "pluck" is correct. For "lurk": The thief lurked in the alley.
3. "Disheartened" means to be discouraged. "Devoured" means to eat quickly. Since Yuri is feeling discouraged about the climb, "disheartened" is correct. For "devoured": The hungry lion devoured the meat.
4. "Exuberant" means full of energy and excitement. "Emblematic" means symbolic. A celebration for a knight killing a dragon would be full of energy, so "exuberant" is correct. For "emblematic": The dove is emblematic of peace.
5. "Presume" means to suppose. "Ponder" means to think deeply. Since the person is supposing Kristina will come (because she's a best friend), "presume" is correct (as shown in the written sentence for "ponder": I ponder about how to get money).

Answer:

1. Circle "patronize". Sentence for "counterfeit": The criminal tried to counterfeit money.
2. Circle "pluck". Sentence for "lurk": The thief lurked in the alley.
3. Circle "disheartened". Sentence for "devoured": The hungry lion devoured the meat.
4. Circle "exuberant". Sentence for "emblematic": The dove is emblematic of peace.
5. (Already done as per the image: circle "presume" and sentence "I ponder about how to get money")
