In this sentence, both "took" and "held" can be used. Both verbs convey the action of Simon preparing himself before jumping into the water. However, "took" implies a quicker action, while "held" suggests a longer duration of breath before plunging. Both options are correct, so you can circle either of them.

2. Kim works hard to achieve/accomplish her goals.
To circle the correct option, let"s consider the meaning of both words. "Achieve" means to successfully reach or accomplish a goal. On the other hand, "accomplish" means to successfully complete or bring to a successful conclusion. In this context, both options are correct, as they convey the idea that Kim puts effort to reach her goals. You can circle either "achieve" or "accomplish".

3. Max is tired of the commotion and activity/hustle and bustle of the big city.
In this sentence, both "activity" and "hustle and bustle" can be used to describe the busy and noisy atmosphere of the big city. Both options convey a similar meaning. You can circle either of them.

4. Eva eagerly accepted/seized the opportunity to go on holiday.
Both "accepted" and "seized" can be used in this context. "Accepted" implies that Eva willingly agreed to the opportunity, while "seized" adds a sense of enthusiasm and determination. Both options are correct, so you can circle either of them.

5. Tom interacts/wrestles with customers in his job.
In this sentence, "interacts" is the correct option. It means Tom engages or communicates with customers. "Wrestles" would not be appropriate in this context, as it implies a physical struggle, which is not the intended meaning here. Circle "interacts" as the correct option.

Grammar C:
1. Liz isn"t at home. Her car isn"t in the driveway.
To circle the correct option, let"s consider the meaning of the three choices.
- "Cannot" indicates that it is impossible for Liz to be at home.
- "Mustn"t" implies that it is forbidden or prohibited for Liz to be at home.
- "Might not" suggests that there is a possibility that Liz is not at home.

Based on the context, the most suitable option is "might not". The absence of Liz"s car in the driveway allows for the possibility that she might not be at home. Circle "might not" as the correct option.

2. After sleeping for two hours, he felt better.
To circle the correct option, let"s consider the meaning of the three choices.
- "To have slept" is an infinitive phrase that describes an action that had already taken place before another action or state. In this sentence, it is not necessary to emphasize the completion of the sleep, so this option can be ruled out.
- "Slept" is the simple past tense of the verb "sleep", which is used here to indicate the action of sleeping for two hours before feeling better. This option correctly conveys the intended meaning, so it can be circled as the correct option.
- "Having slept" is a present participle phrase that describes an action completed before another action or state. In this sentence, using this option would imply a continuous progression of events, which is not necessary. Therefore, this option can be ruled out.

Circle "slept" as the correct option.
