Which of these words doesn't collocate with the verb?
Hello. I'll be very grateful if somebody help me out, please. I can see even part of slogan for the "KitKat", but I really don't see the correct answers.
Exercise text (except for the completed tasks, of course):
"Cross out the noun or noun phrase that does not collocate with the verb in the word web.
4. give -> fun; a ring; a talk; directions; instructions;
5. have -> a dream; a good time; a break; care; trouble".
Moreover, I have a little doubt that "a noise" doesn't collocate with "take". Although I just can't come up with an action that is indicated by this combination of words.
Thank you in advance.
P.S. Sorry for my English.

Hi. I would like to try to help. I am not sure I am perfectly clear but I will give you the collocations we would commonly use in English.
Have fun, have a talk (like have a chat), have a dream, have a good time, have trouble
Give you a ring (a telephone call), give a talk (means you present to others), give directions, give instructions
Take a break, take care (used a salutation/goodbye)
Noise....I am not sure what you mean here. I would say, "I hear a noise."
Let me know if you have more questions, and I will try to help! :) Good luck in your studies!

First off 'make a noise'
Second, I guess you want one of the nouns for qs 4 and 5 that does not fit:
4= Fun
5= Not so clear. I would say care. But, I have used all of those nouns with have
