Printing vocabulary!

Fill in the blanks below with the appropriate terms from the article!

This is the first sheet of a newspaper, which you see before opening it:
The Sunday Roast newspaper always chooses a shocking story to print on the front page 1. (two words)

Now find the term used to describe thick, strong text such as this:
This sentence is written in bold 2 text!

If "b" and "h" are lowercase letters, then "B" and "H" are: capital 3 letters.

This term was not used in the text, but it describes the big titles given to news articles. "I don't have time to read the paper, so I just look at the headlines 4 to get an impression of what's happening."
1 front page: "Front page" is the right answer. The "front page" of a newspaper is where the most important (or most shocking) stories appear, in order to attract readers' attention. Here's another example: "When Freddie ate my hamster, he appeared on the front page of all the tabloid papers".
2 bold: "Bold" is the term we were looking for. Bold text looks like this. It is used to highlight or draw attention to important information. Example: "If you want people to read this important information, you should put it in bold!".
3 capital: "Capital letters" look like this: A, J, S, A, G, D. In English, proper nouns such as "London", "Smith", and "French" all begin with capital letters. Note that we can also say "uppercase letters".
4 headlines: "Headlines" is the term we were looking for. The "headlines" are the titles of articles, which appear in bold text at the top of each story. Examples: "President Brush Resigns!", "1000s Die in Cyclone!".
