The very next day Billy went to play with Wilfred, his best friend. They played marbles, and had a wonderful time. Then they thought they should go and call on Timothy, who lived in the next street. On the way there, Billy's most favorite marble rolled down a grating into the cellar of a shop. Now what were they to do? "That marble will be lost forever!" said poor Wilfred, almost ready to cry, because it really was a splendid marble. "The shop is locked up and empty, there is no way of getting it back." But Billy had an idea. "My daddy knows the man who has the keys to the shop," he said. "If he asks this man for the keys, perhaps I will be able to get your marble for you."

Explanation:

1. friend: Billy and Wilfred are friends. The word "friend" on the right matches the noun "friend" in the sentence, therefore the appropriate form is "friend."

2. go: Billy and Wilfred decided to go and call on Timothy. The verb "go" matches the action of going to Timothy's place, so the appropriate form is "go."

3. live: Timothy lives in the next street. The word "live" matches the action of residing in a specific place, so the appropriate form is "live."

4. Wilfred: Billy's best friend's name is Wilfred. The word "Wilfred" matches the person mentioned in the sentence, so the appropriate form is "Wilfred."

5. lose: Wilfred's marble rolled down into the shop's cellar and it seemed like they could lose it forever. The word "lose" matches the action of losing something, so the appropriate form is "lose."

6. lock: The shop is locked up and empty. The word "lock" matches the action of closing and securing an entry, so the appropriate form is "lock."

7. get: There is no way of getting the marble back. The word "get" matches the action of obtaining or acquiring something, so the appropriate form is "get."

8. ask: Billy's dad knows the man who has the keys to the shop. The word "ask" matches the action of requesting information or permission from someone, so the appropriate form is "ask."

9. be: If Billy asks his dad's acquaintance for the keys, he might be able to get the marble back. The word "be" matches the action of existing or a state of being, so the appropriate form is "be."
