ANSWERS:

1. You mustn't leave your bags __________ in the airport otherwise the security guards will
take them away and examine them.
a) unattended – This is the correct answer. 'Unattended' means no one is with the bags.
b) unintended – 'Unintended' is not the right adjective. It means something you didn't plan to
do.
c) lonely – 'Lonely' is not the right adjective. We use it to describe people who feel sad
because no-one is with them.
d) unattached – 'Unattached' is not the right adjective. We use it to describe people who are
not in a relationship.

2. If your bags are too heavy you'll have to pay an __________ baggage fee.
a) extreme – 'Extreme' is not the right adjective.
b) extra – 'Extra' is not the right adjective.
c) excess – This is the correct answer.
d) over – 'Over' is not the right word. It's a preposition and you need an adjective to complete
the sentence.

3. I always prefer __________ on the plane so I can get out easily without disturbing other
passengers.
a) a window seat – If you have a window seat, you are on the side where you can see out of
the plane so people next to you will need to move if you want to leave your seat.
b) an aisle seat – This is the correct answer.
c) a corridor seat – The phrase 'a corridor seat' doesn't exist in English.
d) a passage seat – The phrase 'a passage seat' doesn't exist in English.
