Let's go through each sentence one by one and fill in the missing words:
1. In some countries people eat g--0-- on 31st December at twelve o'clock.
To complete this sentence, we are looking for a word related to food that is commonly eaten on New Year's Eve at midnight. The missing word is "grapes". In some countries, it is a tradition to eat twelve grapes at midnight to bring good luck for the upcoming year. So the complete sentence would be: In some countries people eat grapes on 31st December at twelve o'clock.
2. A lot of people eat t--i-- on Midsummer Eve in Norway.
For this sentence, we need to find a food that is commonly consumed in Norway on Midsummer Eve. The missing word is "tilapia". However, "tilapia" is not typically associated with Norwegian cuisine. Therefore, we need to think of a different food that fits the context. Given that Midsummer Eve is a summer celebration, it is more plausible that people would eat "tilapia" in tropical or coastal areas rather than in Norway. A more suitable option for this sentence could be "lutefisk", which is a traditional Norwegian dish often eaten during special occasions. So the revised sentence would be: A lot of people eat lutefisk on Midsummer Eve in Norway.
3. In Perugia people make small chocolate _W_*__.
To complete this sentence, we are looking for a word related to food that describes a specific small chocolate product commonly made in Perugia. The missing word is "wafers". In Perugia, a city in Italy, they are known for their production of chocolate wafers. So the complete sentence would be: In Perugia, people make small chocolate wafers.
4. In the UK a lot of people have a ck_you 25th December.
In this sentence, we need to find a food that is commonly eaten in the UK on 25th December. The missing word is "Christmas". A traditional dish in the UK for Christmas is roast turkey, so the revised sentence would be: In the UK, a lot of people have a Christmas turkey on 25th December.
