How to match these adjectives applicable??? My deepest gratitude if you are ready to help. I have to do one exercise that is confused me. Here is a condition: 'Match TWO or more adjectives from the box with each topic (1-5). Use each adjective only once.' When finishing this exercise, I saw that topic "feelings" has only one adjective! Where I'm mistaken in choosing? See below the adjectives, and then the topics are related with each adjective: Words are given: compulsory, confident, confused, cosy, demanding, determined, major, motivated, practical, relevant, significant, spacious, supportive, tense, unfamilliar, upset. Topics are given with these adjectives: 1) feelings: tense; 2) people: confident; demanding; determined; motivated; practical; supportive; upset. 3) events: compulsory; significant; 4) information: confused; major; relevant; 5) places: cosy; spacious; unfamilliar; Where had I a mistake? Many thanks for answering! Thank you for doing Italki better! Cordially, Alex

You could move 'upset' into the Feelings box.

As a native speaker, I've pasted what I'd answer below along with notes for each. 1) Feelings: tense; confident; confused; determined; motivated; upset NOTE: For "feelings," this typically describes something abstract, like how something makes you feel and/or what kind of reaction it makes you have. "I feel upset when someone hits me" because you get mad if someone hits you, or "I feel confused when I do not understand something" because that confusion you feel is a direct result of not understanding something. "Tense" was a good answer as well, because you might feel "tense" if you're worried or anxious about something. I included "confident" here, which is tricky. You can "feel confident" about a specific answer, but you can also "be confident" as a person. One is a temporary thing ("I felt confident that my answer was right"), and the other is a permanent thing ("He was a very confident person"). 2) People: confident; demanding; determined; motivated; practical; supportive (NOTE: Upset is a feeling, so I likely wouldn't put that here. Technically you could call someone a "confused person" as a description, but that's normally an insult so I won't include it here). 3) events: compulsory; significant; major (NOTE: Significant and major are synonyms that, in this case, mean basically the same thing - important). 4) information: relevant, practical, significant (NOTE: This is where significant/major differ, because information about a situation is largely just significant, ie important, but "major information" isn't typically right/used. This is one of those inconsistencies about English). 5) places: cosy, spacious, unfamiliar (NOTE: this one was exactly right; they are all words that can describe a place)
