Question 1 Report

Choose the option that best completes the gap(s). The poor widow who could not buy the clothes was seen _____ her wool into _____ yesterday?
Answer Details
The option that best completes the sentence is "spinning / yarn." This means that the poor widow was seen spinning wool into yarn yesterday. To "spin" wool means to twist and draw out fibers to create yarn, which can be used to make clothing. "Yarn" refers to a long continuous length of fibers that have been spun together. Therefore, the phrase "spinning yarn" accurately describes the action of turning wool into yarn, which the widow was doing.
