At first, when their music woke her up at night, she felt a little —A excitedB irritatedC frightenedD surprised , but she did not feel really —A furiousB hungryC sleepyD guilty . She shrugged her —A handsB armsC shouldersD head and said to herself, “Never mind. I sometimes make noise too. I’ll go and —A shoutB complainC whisperD sing to them in a nice way.”

When she knocked on their door she said, “I’m not very —A interestedB keenC worriedD tired on loud music, to be —A kindB honestC happyD polite . Do you think you could turn it down a bit?”

They just —A laughedB criedC wavedD shouted , and then Alex said, “You can think whatever you want. We don’t care.” Then they shut the door in Julie’s face.
