Exercise 1
Kevin writes that he "spilled some coffee on his slacks". What does this mean?
Kevin writes that he "spilled some coffee on his slacks". What does this mean?
This explanation does not express what Kevin writes.
This is the best choice. "To spill" has many meanings, but in this case it means to drop the contents of a container. A pair of "slacks" is a formal pair of pants.
"To spill" should not be confused the verb "to spell". Kevin's sentence has nothing to do with "spelling".
Although the idiom "to take a spill" means "to fall down" or "to slip", this sentence actually refers to Kevin dropping his cup of coffee on his pants.
