1. The phone has been disconnected while the house is empty.

To complete this sentence, we need to use the correct prefix "dis-" which means "not" or "opposite of." The base word is "connect," so we add the prefix "dis-" to show that the action of "connecting" has been negated. The form "has been" indicates a past action that is still relevant or ongoing. Since the house is empty, it makes sense that the phone has been disconnected.

2. French learners of English often mispronounce "ch" as "sh."

To complete this sentence, we need to use the correct prefix "mis-" which means "wrong" or "incorrectly." The base word is "pronounce," so we add the prefix "mis-" to indicate that the action of "pronouncing" has been done incorrectly. The sentence is talking about a common mistake made by French learners of English.

3. The book makes demands on the reader, but it repays the effort in full measure.

To complete this sentence, we need to use the correct prefix "re-" which means "back" or "in return." The base word is "pay," so we add the prefix "re-" to show that the action of "paying" is done in return for something. The sentence is emphasizing that although the book requires effort from the reader, it also rewards or pays back that effort in a significant way.

4. The criminal was caught red-handed. He was seen stealing the young lady's handbag.

To complete this sentence, we need to use the correct compound adjective "red-handed." This phrase is often used to describe someone who is caught in the act of doing something wrong or illegal. In this case, the criminal was seen stealing the handbag, so he was caught red-handed.

5. Look at Leila. She's wearing an old-fashioned skirt. She found it in her grandmother's drawer.

To complete this sentence, we need to use the correct compound adjective "old-fashioned." This phrase is used to describe something that is not in style anymore and belongs to an earlier time. In this case, Leila found the skirt in her grandmother's drawer, indicating that it is from a previous era and can be described as old-fashioned.

6. Don't expect him to invite you for dinner. He is a tight-fisted man.

To complete this sentence, we need to use the correct compound adjective "tight-fisted." This phrase is used to describe someone who is unwilling to spend money or is very stingy. In this case, the sentence suggests that the person is not generous and unlikely to invite someone for dinner.

7. He always forgets everything. So, he is an absent-minded man.

To complete this sentence, we need to use the correct compound adjective "absent-minded." This phrase is used to describe someone who is forgetful or often lost in their thoughts and not paying attention to their surroundings. In this case, the sentence suggests that the person's forgetfulness is a characteristic of being absent-minded.

8. At first, Jenny enjoyed listening to Steven, but after a while, she got tired of hearing the same story.

To complete this sentence, we need to use the correct forms of the verbs "listen" and "hear." In the first part of the sentence, "enjoyed" is followed by the base form "listening." In the second part of the sentence, "got tired of" is followed by the gerund form "hearing." The sentence is describing Jenny's change in feelings towards Steven's story - she initially enjoyed listening to it, but eventually became tired of hearing it repeatedly.

9. Polly can't go to the cinema today. She's busy studying for her exam, which is next week, but she's decided to take a break and phone Megan.

To complete this sentence, we need to use the correct forms of the verbs "go," "study," "take," and "phone." "Can't go" indicates the infinitive form "go" with the negative auxiliary verb "can't." "She's busy studying" uses the gerund form "studying" to describe what she is currently doing. "Decided to take" and "and phone" use the base form without 'to' to indicate her decisions and actions. The sentence describes Polly's current situation - she is unable to go to the cinema due to studying, but she has decided to take a break and make a phone call.

10. I tried listening carefully and in order not to show how I was embarrassed, I did my best to keep the conversation going on one topic and another.

To complete this sentence, we need to use the correct forms of the verbs "listen," "show," "embarrassed," and "keep." "Tried" is followed by the gerund form "listening." "In order not to show" is followed by the base form without 'to,' indicating purpose. "How I was" is followed by the adjective "embarrassed" to describe the state of feeling. "Did my best to keep" is followed by the base form "keep" to describe the effort made. The sentence describes the speaker's actions - trying to listen carefully, making an effort to hide embarrassment, and maintaining the conversation on various topics.

11. A friend of mine has called off her wedding.

12. His mother can't put up with his terrible behavior anymore.

To complete this sentence, we need to use the correct phrasal verb "put up with." This phrase means to tolerate or endure something that is unpleasant or difficult. In this case, the mother can no longer tolerate her son's terrible behavior.

13. As an excuse for being late, she made up a whole story.

To complete this sentence, we need to use the correct phrasal verb "made up." This phrase means to invent or create a story, usually as a way to explain or justify something. In this case, the person created a false story as an excuse for being late.
