Answer 1

Answer 2

Credible is underlined

Answer 3

If you will choose A, the mother seems like the mother already knew the excuse. If you'll choose B, the mother seems like she agrees to your excuse and if you'll choose C, the mother seems to think that your excuse is reasonable. So which one do you think is a good one?

Answer 4

True is not close to the word "convincing".

Answer 5

credible-able to be believed; convincing

Answer 6

That is right, but you should also take note of the idea of the whole sentence. All of the choices, except D, will fit the definition for the word "credible" without thinking about the meaning of the sentence.

Try looking for the definition for the other word choices. To make life easier, check the synonyms for the word "credible". (^_^)

Answer 7

Answer 8

D

Answer 9

certain= sure,undeniable, irrefutable
plausible= reasonable, believable
true=correct, accurate, right
