1 host: If you "hold a party" or invite people to an event, then you are the "host". The term "host" can also be used as a verb. Example: I am hosting a party at Buckingham Palace to celebrate my engagement. In this broadcast, Brent begins by announcing, "we're your hosts this morning". In television and radio, the person presenting the programme is also called the "host". Note that we occasionally distinguish a female host by calling her a "hostess".
2 guest: If you are invited to a place or event (a party, a conference, a home), then you are a "guest". In this broadcast, the term "guest" isn't used, however its counterpart (or opposite) is: Moira and Brent are the "hosts" of Radio Rhubarb.

Example: "I hosted a vegan brunch party last weekend".

Lodgings: If your flight is cancelled, lodgings will be provided at the airport. 2
Host: He is the perfect party host. 3
1 John immersed Jesus in water to baptise him.: This is the correct choice. To be immersed means to be completely covered, engulfed or engrossed in something. A person is immersed in water when they take a bath. It is usually used conjunction with liquid, but can also be used in a cultural sense, to be immersed in a language, in studies and so on. Example: "I am immersed in this book: I can't put it down!".
1 The river immerses like a snake.: This is not the right choice. We could say that the river "winds" or "meanders" like a snake, to say that it "curves" and "bends".
1 I have to immerse my notes before the test.: This is not the right choice. A possible word here could be "revise" or even "digest", but "immerse" doesn't work.
2 If your flight is cancelled, lodgings will be provided at the airport.: This is the right answer. Another word for "lodgings" is "accommodation" or "a place to stay". An airline will usually provide a hotel room for people if a flight is delayed or cancelled. Here's another example: "The lodgings provided by my university were small and damp".
2 I bought a new lodgings.: This is incorrect. "Lodgings" is a plural noun. We could say "I bought a new house" or "I bought a new apartment".
2 If you have too many lodgings you won't sleep!: This is incorrect. "Lodgings" does not work in this context.
3 He is the perfect party host.: This is the correct choice. A host is someone who is responsible for events at a social occasion. They welcome the guests, provide the entertainment and basically make sure everyone has a good time!
3 My new boss is very host.: Incorrect. "Host" is a noun. This sentence requires an adjective. "Hospitable" would be good here.
3 Be host with me and I'll be host with you.: Incorrect. "Host" is a noun. It does not work here. You would need an adjective, for example "honest" or "kind".

1 proud: "Proud" is the right answer here. When we are "proud of" someone or something, we feel happy and satisfied about it. It can be an act we have done ("I'm proud of my achievements"), an event, or another person. Another example: "I'm very proud of my great intellect".
2 casual: "Casual" is the best term to complete this sentence. "Casual clothes" are "relaxed" or "comfortable": things like jeans and jumpers. This is the opposite of "formal" or "smart". Example: "I nearly died of embarrassment when Kevin arrived at the funeral in casual clothes".
3 entertaining: "Entertaining" is the best choice here. To "entertain (guests)" is to invite them into your home and look after them, for example by providing drinks and snacks, or by cooking a meal.
