Which of the following sentences uses the term "inconvenience" (in its different forms) correctly?
There may be more than one correct answer!
This sentence uses the term "inconvenience" incorrectly. If you are "inconvenienced", something causes you minor trouble or makes your life more difficult. Example: He inconvenienced everyone on the trip by phoning his girlfriend every five minutes. A childhood without money is too serious to be described as being "inconvenienced". Terms like "impoverished", "poor" or "disadvantaged" would be better here.
This sentence uses the term "inconvenience" incorrectly. If something is "inconvenient" it might cause you trouble, but ultimately has a small impact on your life. This is not the case with children watching violent films, which can cause serious psychological damage. This sentence would be better written: violent films are "unsuitable" or "inappropriate" for children.
This sentence uses the term "inconvenience" correctly. An event may be "inconvenient" if it occurs at a time that does not suit your needs, or is just at a bad moment. Example: 7.30am on a Monday morning was a very inconvenient time for a visit from the plumber.

1 to relax: This is the best choice here. Imagine getting home tonight and sitting back on your sofa. You'd feel relaxed right? That's why these two terms are synonymous! Now sit back and enjoy the rest of your feedback, you might just learn something!
1 to forget: This is not synonymous with to "sit back". To "forget" means to be unable to remember. For example "I didn't forget to send the cheque. It's in the post! I promise!".
1 to worry: Although people do worry about their home security, it is not the right definition here. Words that are synonymous with to "worry" include to be "concerned", "troubled" or "distracted".
2 to be intelligent: This is the correct choice! Other synonyms include "bright", "smart" and "clever". For example "She's a very wise woman, and lives her life with intelligence and grace."
2 to be courageous: This is not the right answer. To be courageous means to be "brave". For example, "The vaccination goes straight into the buttock. It doesn’t hurt! Try to be courageous!".
2 to be scared: This is incorrect. To be scared means to be "frightened", "afraid" or "terrified". For example, "I was so scared during that film, I spent half the time behind the sofa!"
3 however you feel is appropriate: This is the right definition! If you see something as being "fit", you see it as being "appropriate" or "suitable". Another example would be "Do the work as you see fit. It's up to you to prioritize your own workload.".
3 whatever you can afford : This is incorrect. To "afford" means to "be able to meet the expense of something" or to "have enough money to do something or buy something". An example of this would be "I can’t afford to have plastic surgery, so I’ll just have to stay ugly.".
3 as thoroughly as possible: "Thoroughly" means "completely" or "utterly" or "totally". It is not the correct definition for to "see fit". An example of its use: "I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and was so shocked to discover I'd eaten crocodile meat!".

1 survives: "To survive" is to continue existing. Example: My rare volume of Keats' poetry SURVIVED the house fire. In the conversation, Icarus says that, "only the best, truest information survives (on Stickypedia)." He means to say, because the content on Stickypedia is constantly edited, corrected and improved, only accurate information remains.
2 inappropriate : "Inappropriate" is the opposite of "appropriate". It describes things that are not suitable, or improper. Example: Jeans and T-shirt are an INAPPROPRIATE form of dress for meeting the Queen. In the dialogue, a photo of Icarus is removed by another Stickypedia user because it is "inappropriate". A photograph of an unknown accountant (Icarus!) is not suitable for an online encyclopedia that is consulted by people all over the world!
