1 alarm: This is the right answer. This is a loud sound that is usually triggered in the event of an emergency to warn people. They are not only used in urgent situations. Most people need an "alarm clock" to wake up in the morning.
2 break in: This is the right answer. We usually use the term to "break in" with property. For example, to break in to a house, a car, a shop.
3 stranger: This is the correct answer. Be careful not to confuse the term "stranger" with the term "foreigner" which is someone from another country. Here's another example: "Children should never talk to strangers, especially if they have sweeties".
4 trick: This is the right answer! To "trick" someone means to falsely lead someone into thinking something is true. Synonyms include to "fool", to "deceive", to "mislead" or to "con".
