Question

complete the text with the correct pair of words. after a stressful day, ____ is nothing more relaxing than stretching. i like to ____ on the floor and gently stretch to ease my lower back pain. there... lay there... lie their... lie their... lay

Explanation:

1. For the first blank, the phrase "nothing more relaxing" requires the expletive "there" to form the structure "there is". "Their" is a possessive pronoun, which does not fit grammatically here.
2. For the second blank, "like to" is followed by the base form of a verb. "Lie" (meaning to recline) is the base form, while "lay" is the past tense of "lie" or a transitive verb meaning to place something, which does not fit this context.

Answer:

there . . . lie
