2-- B is correct. 'Doubt for' is not an English collocation. 3-- 'Knock over' = upset, cause to overturn from an upright or normal position. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

This cloth_________very thin a. feels b. holds c. touches d. handles I think your choice (feels) is correct according to Collins COBUILD Advanced learners' Dic: FEEL 3 [V-LINK] no cont, V adj, V adj, V like n If you talk about how an object feels, you talk about the physical quality that you notice when you touch or hold it. For example, if something feels soft, you notice that it is soft when you touch it. The metal felt smooth and cold... The ten-foot oars felt heavy and awkward... When the clay feels like putty, it is ready to use.[/quote] |
