Answer 1

1. In my free time, I listen to the music, go to the cinema and play the guitar. - Circle "the" as the extra word.

Explanation: In this sentence, "the" is not necessary before the word "music." We usually say "listen to music" without using "the."

2. The Head gave the Class 9 permission to organize an after-school club. - Circle "the" as the extra word.

Explanation: In this sentence, "the" is not necessary before "Class 9." We would say "Class 9" without using "the."

3. I go to the chess club at the weekend by the bus. - Circle "by" as the extra word.

Explanation: In this sentence, "by" is not necessary before "the bus." We would say "by bus" without using "the."

Step-by-step solutions:

1. Read the sentence carefully, paying attention to each word.
2. Identify any words that may be extra or unnecessary.
3. Evaluate if the meaning of the sentence changes if the word is removed.
4. Circle the word you believe to be extra.
5. Double-check your answer by reading the sentence again and ensuring it still makes sense without the circled word.
