Exercise 1

A scenic journey is a/an .
A scenic journey is a/an .
"That was a very scenic journey".
A scenic journey is a/an beautiful 1 trip 2.
A scenic journey is a/an beautiful 1 trip 2.
1 beautiful: "Scenic" and "beautiful" share a similar meaning. On a "scenic" journey, we see lots of attractive or pretty things, such as hills, forests, or lakes.
1 long: A "long" journey is one which covers a big distance or takes a lot of time. This is unrelated to the term "scenic".
1 boring: A "boring" journey is one which is uninteresting. This is unrelated to the term "scenic".
2 trip: "Trip" is the correct choice. "Trip" and "journey" both refer to a "short voyage", or the act of travelling from one place to another. Example: "-Did you have a good trip? -Yes, I love travelling by train". Note that "to trip" is also a verb meaning to fall slightly when walking. Example: "I need a haircut: I keep tripping over my hair when I walk".
2 day: A "day" is a 24-hour period of time. For example: Monday, or Tuesday! This is unrelated to the term "journey".
2 stay: As a noun, a "stay" is a "visit" or "holiday". This does not share a similar meaning with "journey".

1 summarize: This is the correct answer. To "outline (a project)" is to "present" it, or summarize its main points. Kevin's fax provides a general "overview" or "summary" of the points that he wants to discuss with Mrs Lee (observe the production process, the working conditions, etc).
1 detail: This is incorrect. To "outline" expresses that only the "broad" or "general" points are presented, not the details. "To detail (a project)" is to review the specifics of it, or to review it in depth.
1 confirm: This is incorrect. "To outline" and "to confirm" do not share the same meaning. "To confirm (an appointment)" is to validate or acknowledge it.
2 short visit: This is the correct answer. As a noun, a "stay" means a "stop" or "visit" somewhere. As a verb, "to stay" is to live somewhere temporarily (as a visitor or a guest).
2 journey: This is incorrect. A "journey" is a "voyage" or a "trip", it does not share the same meaning with a "stay".
2 tour: This is incorrect. "Stay" and "tour" do not share the same meaning. A "tour" describes a visit or a trip during which someone is shown a place, a monument, a city, etc. Example: Can you give me a tour of your offices?
