7 Complete the text with the correct form of the words in brackets
Did you see the new Swedish (SWEDEN) drama The Black
Rock on Channel 6 last night? If not, then you absolutely

very best and I'm sure it will win plenty of awards next

couldn't stop watching - even to answer the phone!
The plot was very clever and
(IMAGINE),
without being too complicated. The story starts when
a dead woman is found in a river after a music festival,
I'm not going to say any more! Actor Stieg Martinsson
was extremely
(CONVINCE) as the
detective who has to find the two murderers. He is an
(LIKELY) hero who has problems with his
marriage and his children. I should warn viewers that
there is some
(VIOLENT) in the drama,
but it isn't excessive. You can see the second part of the
series next Thursday. Don't miss it! It's
(POSSIBLE) to stop watching once you start!

Let's start by going through the text and finding the words that need to be completed with the correct form.
1. "Swedish" (SWEDEN) drama - The correct form of the word "Sweden" here is "Swedish" because we are describing the drama that comes from Sweden.
2. "Spectacle" - The text describes the drama as an example of Scandinavian film-making at its best, so the correct form of the word would be "spectacular" because it means impressive or amazing.
3. "Imagine" - The sentence says that the plot of the drama was clever and something to be imagined, so the correct form of the word would be "imaginative" which means creative or full of imagination.
4. "Convince" - The text describes the actor Stieg Martinsson as being extremely convincing in his role as a detective. The correct form of the word would be "convincing" which means persuasive or believable.
5. "Likely" - The text describes the detective as a hero who has problems with his marriage and his children. The correct form of the word would be "unlikely" which means not probable or not expected.
6. "Violent" - The text warns the viewers that there is some violence in the drama, but it isn't excessive. The correct form of the word would be "violence" which means the use of physical force to harm someone or something.
7. "Possible" - The text says that once you start watching the drama, it's not possible to stop. The correct form of the word would be "impossible" which means not possible or unable to happen.
Now that we have identified the correct forms of the words, let's fill them into the text:
