解析分號前說 not hard（不難），所以要填意思相同的「容易的 easy」。pink 粉紅的、public 公眾的、real 真實的都與難易無關。
單字easy 容易的、public 公眾的、real 真實的
9Sam goes to school by bus every morning.
Aperhaps
Bhardly
Cusually
Dupon
✔ 正確答案：(C) usually
中譯山姆通常每天早上搭公車上學。
解析every morning 表示長期習慣，用「通常 usually」最合。hardly 幾乎不與 every morning 互相矛盾，perhaps 或許語氣不定，upon 是介系詞不能修飾動詞。
單字usually 通常、hardly 幾乎不、perhaps 或許
10Please on the door before you come in.
Areach
Bknock
Cdrive
Dgrow
✔ 正確答案：(B) knock
中譯進來之前請先敲門。
解析knock on the door 是「敲門」的固定用法。reach 是伸手或抵達、grow 是生長、drive 是開車，都不能這樣用。
單字knock 敲、reach 伸出、抵達、grow 生長
