Answer (1)
To complete the sentences with the correct form of the words in brackets, we need to change each word into the form that fits grammatically and contextually in the sentence.
All contributions (contribute), no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated.
Here, we use the noun form 'contributions' to convey that any form of help or offering is welcomed.
There is a rising (rise) demand for speakers to make presentations (present) at conferences.
'Rising' is the present participle adjective form used to describe the increasing demand. 'Presentations' is the noun form that fits because speakers make presentations at conferences.
If you go hiking in the mountains, you should know some basic survival (survive) skills.
'Survival' is the noun form, suitable for describing the type of skills needed.
Following the devastating earthquake, viewers were glued to their TV sets watching the dramatic coverage (cover) of the rescue efforts.
'Coverage' is the noun form that refers to the reporting and broadcast of the rescue efforts.
It is Amy's ambition to become a journalist (journalism) and eventually get a job in TV as a news reporter (report).
'Journalist' is the correct noun form for someone who practices journalism, and 'reporter' is the noun for someone who reports news.
The narrator (narrate) of the documentary described the work of several professional (profession) dancers.
'Narrator' is the noun for the person who narrates, and 'professional' is the adjective describing the dancers as skilled and trained.
