a. basketball is delicious.
b. dashanays going to gobble her up.
c. its time for a party.
d. its easy for dashanay to beat alaiya.

Explanation:

1. For the relative - pronoun question, “who” is used for people as the subject of a verb. Here, “the actors” are people and the subject, so “who” is correct.
2. The sentence “all did not come to soccer practice last night” is incorrect. It should be “not all came to soccer practice last night” to convey the intended meaning that some did not come.
3. “Divided” means to separate into parts. The antonym of “divided” among the options is “added”.
4. In English, the order of adjectives is opinion - age - material. So “gorgeous old silk” is the correct order.
5. “Beating you is a piece of cake” means it is easy to beat the other person.

Answer:

1. a. who
2. Not all came to soccer practice last night.
3. a. added
4. d. gorgeous old silk
5. d. It's easy for Alaiya to beat Dashanay.
