Here are the correct answers with explanations: 19. My mum says she'll never forget.........my dad for the first time. **C meeting** (After "forget," the correct form is the gerund "meeting.") 20. Hamsters are shy animals... nature. **B in** (This sentence is incomplete, but the most logical completion is "in" to mean "in their nature.") 21. Someone broke the window last night. **B The window was broken by someone last night.** (Use the passive voice with "was broken.") 22. I heard through the ....... .....that Nick and Paula are getting married. Is that true? **C grapevine** (Information received through informal channels is called "the grapevine.") 23. The fire fighters were able to put ....... ...the fire before anyone was hurt. **A out** ("Put out" is the correct phrasal verb for extinguishing a fire.) 24. Do you mind if I...... your dictionary? I forgot to bring mine. **B borrow** (We "borrow" something temporarily. "Lend" is when you give something to someone.) 25. Helen didn't have enough money on her, so she paid for the books.... (Choices seem incomplete without options after "C.") **A with** or a similar preposition is typical. (Assuming options "A with" and possibly others, "pay with" is correct.)
