To fill in the blank in sentence 1, we look at the options in the word box and choose the word "teenage" because it describes the boy's age.

2. The first aeroplane in the world was designed by Alexander Mozhaisky, a Russian naval officer and a talented (8) inventor. A model of the world's first plane was presented in St. Petersburg in 1876.

In this sentence, we need to choose the word from the box that best describes Alexander Mozhaisky's occupation. The correct word is "inventor" because he designed the first aeroplane.

3. Pollution in big cities has made some plants, typical for the region, (9) endangered. The government should do something to save them.
