1. the puppy’s fur felt _______ after playing in the mud.

• hint: choose a word that sounds messy.

a. soft
b. dirty
c. clean
answer: _______

Explanation:

Question 1

The sentence says the advice helped finish the project, so we need a positive, helpful word. "Useful" means helpful, while "Confusing" and "Unclear" are negative and not helpful. So A is correct.

The puppy played in the mud, so its fur should be messy. "Dirty" fits (messy from mud), "Soft" and "Clean" don't match the mud context. So B is correct.

Answer:

A. Useful
