Exercise 1
A "suit" is a .

The term "suit" rhymes with .
A "suit" is a formal jacket and trousers or skirt 1.

The term "suit" rhymes with boot 2.
1 formal jacket and trousers or skirt: This is the correct choice here. The term "suit" describes an "ensemble" of clothes including a jacket and either trousers or a skirt. Sometimes a waistcoat is also included, which is a type of buttoned vest worn over the shirt and under the jacket. It's a good idea to wear a suit if you are invited for a job interview, or if you have a business meeting. Men also wear suits at weddings in many cultures.
1 comfortable ensemble worn in bed: This isn't the right answer. "Pyjamas" are a comfortable ensemble worn in bed. This type of clothing is not called a "suit".
1 coat that keeps you warm: This isn't the right answer. A "coat" is worn over all your other clothes, especially in winter. "Coats" keep us warm, and some keep the rain off us too! This type of clothing is not called a "suit".
1 type of stylish shoe: This isn't the right answer. "Shoes" are worn on the feet and "suits" are worn on the body.
2 boot: This is the best answer. The term "suit" rhymes with "boot", "route", and "shoot". Some English words aren't pronounced the way you would expect, and unfortunately you just have to learn them!
2 meet: This isn't the best choice here. The term "meet" rhymes with "feet", "meat", and "heat". "Suit" isn't pronounced like this.
2 threat: This isn't the best choice here. The term "threat" rhymes with "get", "wet", and "sweat". "Suit" isn't pronounced like this.
2 quite: This isn't the best choice here. The term "quite" rhymes with "right", "height", "white", and "bite". "Suit" isn't pronounced like this.
