Choose the sentence that best defines Polly's phrase, "I'm glad I caught you".
Choose the sentence that best defines Polly's phrase, "I'm glad I caught you".
This is not the correct choice. To "trap" someone means to "imprison" or "corner" them so that they can no longer move around freely. Example: The mouse was trapped in the kitchen.
This is not the correct choice. "To catch up (with someone)" is to bring someone up to date, or to get up to date on another person's news. Example: I had not seen Bill in ages so I called him to say we needed to get together and catch up.
This is not the correct choice. The verb "to seize" someone means to grasp or to take hold of someone very strongly. Example: The policeman seized the man and pushed him into the van.
"I'm glad I caught you" means "I'm happy to have found you". We use this expression when we have found someone for whom we were looking. Example: My boss was no longer in his office, but I caught him before he left the building.

1 recycle organic material to make fertilizer: To "compost waste" is to convert organic material (such as vegetables or fruit) into soil or dirt which is rich in nutrients. This soil can then be used as a fertilizer, which accelerates the growth process for fruits, plants, vegetables etc. "Composting waste" is also an effective way of recycling organic material: Organic or biodegradable foods can be disposed of directly into a "compost pile" or "heap" in order to initiate the decomposition process.
1 eat only organic fruits and vegetables: "Composting waste" refers to the act of recycling organic matter, not eating organic products.
1 eliminate sanitation and plumbing charges: "Composting waste" refers to the act of recycling organic matter, and not to the charges associated with sanitation or plumbing.
1 separate glass, cans and plastic into separate recycling bins: Although "composting waste" is a way of recycling, this process doesn't involve separating glass, cans and plastic.
2 a little door for cats: A cat flap (or cat door) is a small entrance allowing cats to enter or exit a location.
2 a cat deterrent : A "deterrent" is designed to dissuade or discourage. It could be a device which frightens thieves or criminals such as a security system, or an odor which keeps away mosquitoes.
2 a trap for catching cats: A "trap" is a device used for catching or imprisoning something (a rabbit, a person, a mouse). A cat flap isn't designed to trap cats, but rather to allow them to enter and exit a location.
2 a pouch where cats keep their kittens: Cats don't keep kittens in pouches, you must be getting them confused with kangaroos! Good guess though, it would be cute if cats had pouches for kittens.
