Answer the questions below based on Jacob Flatman's email.

Property 2 is painted pink, yellow and pale blue all over 2.
Property 3 has a lot of 3 storage space.
Property 1 is situated in a green 1 area.
Property 2 is painted pink, yellow and pale blue all over 2.
Property 3 has a lot of 3 storage space.
1 green: Property one is described as being "leafy". The term "leafy" refers to an area that is filled with lots of trees, plants, leaves and greenery. A "green area" describes the same type of area, one with bushes, trees, grass etc. In this context "green" and "leafy" are synonymous.
1 run-down: The term "run-down" means to be in poor condition, or deteriorated. This term is not synonymous with "leafy".
1 spacious: The word "spacious" indicates having a lot of "room" or "space". This term is not synonymous with "leafy".
1 safe: The term "safe" means "unthreatening" or "not dangerous". This term is not synonymous with "leafy".
2 all over: Jacob Flatman writes that Property 2 is painted pink, yellow and pale blue "throughout". The term "throughout" means "all over" or everywhere.
2 outside : The term "outside" means on or to the external or outer side. This is not synonymous with "throughout".
2 underneath: The term "underneath" means on the underside, lower face or below. This term is not synonymous with "throughout".
2 in certain parts : The phrase "in certain parts" refers to selected areas or portions, whereas the term "throughout" refers to "all" or the entirety of a surface (in this case).
3 a lot of: Flatman writes that the third property has "plenty" of storage space. The term "plenty" refers to an "abundance" or "large amount" of something. The term is synonymous with "a lot".
3 shared: The term "plenty" doesn't refer to a "shared" storage space, which would indicate a storage space used by two or more people.
3 hardly any: The phrase "hardly any" means "not very much", which is not synonymous with "plenty".
3 limited: An apartment with "limited storage space" has little storage space. This isn't what is meant by "plenty" of storage space.

Sigourney says that Delavigne Corp is "known for its numerous eco-friendly initiatives".
This means that the company is for its many actions.
This means that the company is for its many actions.
Sigourney says that Delavigne Corp is "known for its numerous eco-friendly initiatives".
This means that the company is renowned 1 for its many green 2 actions.
This means that the company is renowned 1 for its many green 2 actions.
1 renowned: "Renowned" is the right answer here. To be "known for" something is to be "renowned" or "famous" for something one does. Example: "Philip is known for his love of flirting".
1 infamous: This is not the best choice. To be "infamous for" something is to have a bad reputation because of it. This does not share a similar meaning with the term "known".
1 praised: This is not the best choice. To be "praised" for something is to be "congratulated" for it. This does not share a similar meaning with the term "known".
1 controversial: This is not the best choice. To be "controversial" is to be "unusual", or the subject of much debate. This does not share a similar meaning with the term "known".
2 green: "Green" is the best answer here. The term "eco-friendly" is short for "environmentally-friendly", and describes someone or something which is "good for the environment". The term "green" shares a similar meaning. Example: "I dream of living in an eco-friendly house, where everything runs on green energy".
2 open-minded: This is not the right choice here. To be "open-minded" is to be "accepting" or unafraid of new ideas. This does not share a similar meaning with "eco-friendly".
2 amicable: This is not the right choice here. "Amicable" shares a similar meaning with "friendly", but you forgot about the important "eco(logically)" part! "Amicable" does not share a similar meaning with "eco-friendly".
2 money-saving: This is not the right choice here. A "money-saving" action will preserve cash, but it does not share a similar meaning with "eco-friendly", which refers to saving the environment.
