1.  Lack of money drove Joyce to sell the farm.   The blizzard drove Marlene to decide to stay home and be alone on Christmas.   Dad drove us to the mall but Mom said she would take us home.   The family drove three hours to see the ocean.	2.  The employee put a caution sign up so no one would slip on the wet floor.   The man will slip on the wet floor if he's not careful.   We need a permission slip in order to go on the trip.   The messenger handed the slip of paper to the teacher.
3.  Matt stroked his dog's back to calm him down.   The stroke left her paralyzed on the right side of her body.   The man had a stroke and was incapable of walking.   The little girl stroked her doll's hair.	4.  The punishment was a beating with a mace.   After she was attacked, Kathy always carried mace.   The chain mail held fast against the mace.   The police officer was sprayed in the face with mace during her training.
5.  The sailors girded the deck as they approached the enemy ship.   The soldiers girded for battle.   Carol decided to gird the young tree with a small fence for protection.   The trees girded the property, thus making it secluded.	6.  Ouch...I think I twisted my arm!   The setting of the sapphire is called an ouch.   You don't hear people use the term ouch when they speak of jewelry settings because it is an old term.   Ouch...I think I have a splinter!
7.  We could not listen to Daniel anymore because his ideas were bunk.   The executive wanted to hear substantial ideas, not bunk.   Can I sleep on the bottom bunk?   Do you want to sleep in the top bunk?	8.  One pant leg was longer than the others.   The family became concerned when Dorothy started to pant at the store.   I usually pant after running up six flights of stairs to reach my apartment.   The bottom of the pant leg had paint on it.
