Correct Word Replacement


1. The sentence is "Kipaila was bitten by a wasp." The word "wasp" is correct as it is the insect that can bite or sting, so no change needed here. 2. "Simbomba succeeded to winning the chess Competition." The phrase "succeeded to winning" is incorrect. The correct phrase is "succeeded in winning." So the corrected sentence is: "Simbomba succeeded in winning the chess competition." 3. "The teacher Ordered the learners to keep quite." "Quite" is incorrect here; the correct word is "quiet," which means silence. So the sentence should be: "The teacher ordered the learners to keep quiet." 4. "Of the two girls, elara is the least beautiful." The phrase "least beautiful" is typically used to express the lower degree of beauty. However, in comparison of two, "less beautiful" is more appropriate. So: "Of the two girls, Elara is less beautiful." 5. "The goat barked when it saw a snake." Goats don't bark; dogs bark. The correct word replacing "barked" is "bleated." So: "The goat bleated when it saw a snake." 6. "Halling Lied in bed for two hours, Pulitso regained consciousness." The word "Lied" is incorrect here. It should be "lay," the past tense of "lie" meaning reclining. So: "Halling lay in bed for two hours, Pulitso regained consciousness." 7. "A pig and its kid were stolen yesterday." The word "kid" is usually for a young goat. For pig, the correct term is "piglet." So: "A pig and its piglet were stolen yesterday." 8. "Its high time you sold your old car." "Its" should be the contraction "It's" meaning "It is." So: "It's high time you sold your old car." 9. "Hekantu parked his car adjacent to the Headteacher's office." The word "adjacent" is correct, meaning next to. No replacement needed here. Final answers summarize the corrected words: 2: 'to winning' → 'in winning' 3: 'quite' → 'quiet' 4: 'least beautiful' → 'less beautiful' 5: 'barked' → 'bleated' 6: 'Lied' → 'lay' 7: 'kid' → 'piglet' 8: 'Its' → "It's"
