1 Rub: "Rub" is the right answer here. "To rub" is to move one's hand in a circular motion, applying pressure or friction. "To rub (her arms)" is to massage them with your hands. Another example: I asked the girl with the red bikini to rub some sun cream on my back.
2 skin: "Skin" is the right answer here. "Skin" refers to the outer layer that covers and protects the body. Example: This special cream will make your skin soft and smooth.
3 Spread: "Spread" is the right answer here. "To spread (cream)" is to distribute over a wider area, or to cover a layer with it. Example: I'm going to spread butter on this piece of toast with a knife. "To spread" also means "to disseminate" or "to send out in all directions", for example: I want to spread the news to my friends of my marriage.
4 limbs: "Limb" is the right answer here. A "limb" refers to the arm or leg of an animal (and the "wing" of a bird or the "flipper" of an aquatic mammal). Example: It was my first marathon, and now my limbs hurt very much.
5 over: "Over" is the term we are looking for here. "(To turn) over" is to "invert" or "rotate". Edward's companion means that they will move their body from one side to the other. Example: He turned over the piece of paper to stop other people from looking at his notes.
6 slowly: "Slowly" is the right answer here. "Slowly" means "not quickly", or "without speed". Example: I asked him to speak English slowly, so that I could understand what he was saying.
7 notice: "Notice" is the right answer here. "To notice" is to "observe", "remark" or "see". Example: I'm sorry, I didn't notice you because you are very small.
8 man: Yes, she was really a man!
