1 ) The police are (searching, investigating, looking) into disappearance of several paintings.
2 ) You can’t (turn up, raise, make, bring) yourself to refuse the child’s request.
3) Doves were covered with scent to sprinkle when they fly over the heads of those below with (drips, drops, spots, spits).
4 ) Scent was very important when people were reluctant to bath. In the MS book there were (prescriptions, records, explanations, recipes) for medicinal mixtures. Scent was used to (combat, tackle, fight, attack) bad breath.
5 ) The doctor to the patient: your diet is (short, lacking) in calcium.
6 ) Owning offices on skyscrapers is economical. It’s more (efficient, organized) to have all the employees within easy reach.
7 ) Young people like music, particularly when it’s performed outdoors. Outdoors (circumstances, surroundings, backgrounds, localities) are less formal and restrictive for the listeners. The warm and starry night (creates, forms, builds) different atmosphere.

8 ) In this field of science you must (remain, stand, be) open to new ideas.
9 ) The information and views in the documentary are open to (query, enquiry, question).

We would like you to decide the most suitable answers, since this is, in some form, your homework. We will then check your efforts.
