Body

**a)** The correct pair of words with a similar vowel sound is: **b) hear, hare**

Explanation: Both words have the long 'e' sound (/ɪə/), while the other options have different vowel sounds (e.g., 'beer' has /ɪə/ but 'bear' has /eə/).

**b)** The correct word that takes the suffix '-en' to form a verb and completes the sentence is: **a) bright**

Explanation: 'Brighten' (verb) means to make something brighter. The other options do not form verbs with '-en':

- gold → golden (adjective)

- deep → deepen (verb, but does not fit the sentence context)

- short → shorten (verb, but does not fit the sentence context).

**c)** The word opposite in meaning to 'prompt' is: **d) delayed**

Explanation: 'Prompt' means quick or immediate, while 'delayed' means late or slow. The other options are synonyms or near-synonyms of 'prompt'.

**d)** The word that does NOT come between the guidewords 'heated' and 'hectare' in a dictionary is: **c) heaven**

Explanation: The alphabetical order between 'heated' and 'hectare' is:

- heater (comes after 'heated')
