do you usually have a snack when you get home? many people go straight to the refrigerator. they look for something cold to drink. or they reach for a special treat. they look for sweets, like candy or doughnuts. these snack foods are loaded with sugar, though. they may taste good, but they are not good for your body. too much sugar can ruin your teeth and cause weight problems. it is easy to learn to choose snacks that are not so bad for you. try drinks that are low in sugar. or make a float with milk and fruit. eat fresh fruit or roasted peanuts. you can also mix fresh fruit slices with the nuts for a tasty treat. whenever you eat good snack foods, you’ll know you have done your body a favor.

______ 5 the opposite of “stop”

Explanation:

To solve this, we first identify words with long "o" sound from the paragraph (cold, home, doughnuts, though, float, low, go, you, do, your, favor – but we focus on those fitting definitions):

1. "not high" → low (from "low in sugar").
2. "the place where you live" → home (from "when you get home").
3. "cooked in an oven" → roasted (from "roasted peanuts").
4. "sweet treats shaped like a ring" → doughnuts (from "like candy or doughnuts").
5. "the opposite of 'stop'" → go (from "Many people go straight").

Answer:

s:

1. low
2. home
3. roasted
4. doughnuts
5. go
