Box D would probably be described as being a light 3 gray rectangle.
1 shade: The term "shade" is a synonym of "hue" or "tint" or "type of color". A "shade (of a color)" is a variation of a color based on how light or dark it is (the amount of white or black mixed into it). Example: I think we need to paint the bedroom a lighter shade of blue.
2 dark: When describing a "shade" of a color, we use the terms "dark" and "light" to describe the comparative darkness (or lightness). In the dialogue, Bruno describes a "dark blue circle". This means that the blue of the circle has lots of black mixed into it, making it appear dark. Another example: Bruno has beautiful DARK brown hair.
3 light: As mentioned above, the terms "light" and "dark" are placed before colors to indicate their comparative darkness. In the dialogue, Bruno could have said, "light blue circle" if the circle had more white mixed into it. We also use "light" when describing hair. Example: Icarus has lovely light gray hair.

1 weigh: "How much do you weigh?" is the most common way of asking for someone's weight. In the dialogue, Philip's friend Joe "weighs 250 pounds". Note: Phonetically, "weigh" sounds exactly the same as "way"!
2 pounds: A "pound" is a unit for measuring weight. 1 pound = 0.454 kilograms. In the US, it is common to describe people's weight in pounds. Example: The average American male weighs 191 pounds.
3 heavy: If something is "heavy", it weighs a lot and is difficult to move. Example: This dead body is very heavy.
4 light: If something is "light", it weighs very little. Feathers, pieces of paper, and leaves are all light!
5 gallon: A "gallon" is a unit for measuring liquid. In the US, 1 gallon = 3.8 liters. In the dialogue, Philip says, "I need to drink a gallon of beer just to tolerate you". Philip probably isn't going to literally drink a "gallon" of beer! He is probably just using the term in an exaggerated way to mean "a lot of liquid". Another example: When I cut my finger, I lost a gallon of blood!
6 How tall are you?: "How tall are you?" is the most common way of asking for someone's height. Example: -How tall is that French guy? -Jean is 1.44 meters tall. In the dialogue, Jean incorrectly says "(Joe) must measure 5 meters!". In English, the verb "to measure" is used to talk about finding the size of something. Example: We measured the length of the bed to see if it would fit in the bedroom. "To measure" is not used to describe how tall someone is.
6 How much do you measure?: Oops! We can't use the verb "to measure" like this!
6 How high are you?: We could say "How high is that building?" or "How high is that mountain?". Unfortunately, we can only say "How high are you?" if someone has taken drugs and we want to know how intoxicated they are!
7 height: "Height" is the measurement of how tall a person is. Example: Jean is of average height.

2 to wipe: This is the correct answer. To "wipe (a table)" is to clean it or dry it, usually using a towel or cloth. Note: "to wipe (data)" is to erase or cancel data. For example: The aliens wiped my memory, I don't remember a thing.

It was past midnight when Susie arrived at her apartment. She a lemon candle and down on the warm blanket on her bed. The day through her mind like a roulette wheel.

Fill in the blanks below with the correct form of the verb:
It was past midnight when Susie arrived at her apartment. She [not done] lit 1 a lemon candle and [not done] lay 2 down on the warm blanket on her bed. The day [not done] spun 3 through her mind like a roulette wheel. So many stupid men, so much silly talk. Tomorrow she would [not done] do 4 something different. She would [not done] wake 5 up singing and leave the house with a bag full of candy and a heart full of hope.

She would [not done] wake 5 up singing and leave the house with a bag full of candy and a heart full of hope.
1 lit: Because the first sentence (it was past midnight) tells us that this action takes place in the past, we must use the past simple tense (preterit). To light: I light / I lit, lighted / I have lit, lighted. 'Lit' is more common than 'lighted' in the preterit and past participle forms.
2 lay: Because the first sentence (it was midnight) tells us that this action takes place in the past, we must use the past simple tense (preterit). To lie: I lie / I lay / I have lain. Be careful! Don't confuse 'lie' (as in lie down on a bed) with 'lie' (as in to tell a lie or untruth), which is a regular verb.
3 spun: Because the first sentence tells us that we are talking about the past, we must use the simple past tense. To spin: I spin / I spun / I have spun. 'To spin' means 'to rotate' in this context.
4 do: Because the main verb (to do) is preceded by the auxiliary 'would' here, we must use the infinitive form of the verb afterwards (without 'to'). Note that 'would' is used here to describe a future event in the past.
5 wake: Because the main verb (to wake) is preceded by 'would' here, we must use the simple infinitive form (wake) without the marker 'to'. Note that 'would' is used to express the conditional.
