    Question A few questions...

    Hello.
    Today I got an extra copy to do from my English teacher and I've got a few questions.

    1. The (suspect/convict) was tried and sentenced to five years in prison.
    I know the difference between these 2 words, but I don't know what to put here. I was thinking about suspect, am I right?

    2. to be ...... risk
    Can I put "at" here?

    3. The policeman threatened to ......... the driver if she did not answer his questions.
    A) accuse
    B) suspect
    C) convict
    D) arrest
    I think it's arrest, but I'm not sure.

    4. Jaguars are both fast and beautiful.
    not Jaguars are ................................. also beautiful.
    In this sentence I have no idea what to write.

    5. That boy is so talented that he's bound to succeed.
    such He's .................................... he's bound to succeed.
    Can I write something like: He's such talented that he's bound to succeed?

    6. It's silly to get angry over such an unimportant matter.
    no It's .................................. over such an unimportant matter.
    Here I've no idea too...


    Help me, please.
    Thank you in advance!

    I know the difference between these 2 words, but I don't know what to put here. I was thinking about suspect, am I right?
    A bit confusing in that either word could work here. Usually a suspect is tried and sentenced but a convict could also be tried and sentenced to more time in prison. I would opt for "suspect".
    2. to be ...... risk
    Can I put "at" here? Yes.

    3. The policeman threatened to ......... the driver if she did not answer his questions.
    A) accuse
    B) suspect
    C) convict
    D) arrest
    I think it's arrest, but I'm not sure. Why aren't you sure? A policeman could accuse someone but what would be the effect of this action? Policemen usually (at least in the US) do not convict anyone - that is what judges do. A policeman could also suspect someone but that is not something he would threaten the driver with.

    4. Jaguars are both fast and beautiful.
    not Jaguars are ................................. also beautiful.
    In this sentence I have no idea what to write.
    I assume that you have to use "not" here. Jaguars are not ____fast but they are also___.
    5. That boy is so talented that he's bound to succeed.
    such He's .................................... he's bound to succeed.
    Can I write something like: He's such talented that he's bound to succeed?
    He's such a ____boy that he's bound to succeed.
    6. It's silly to get angry over such an unimportant matter.
    no It's .................................. over such an unimportant matter.
    Here I've no idea too...
    It's of ___value to get angry over such an unimportant matter.

    Help me, please.
    Thank you in advance!
