*This is not homework.
Q. Choose the word which best fills the blank.
① Besides ② Instead ③ However ④ For example ⑤ In addition
Next time you go to a grocery store, look closely at the fruits and vegetables. Most are perfectly shaped. But not all produce looks like that. Sometimes, vegetables don’t grow straight. The carrot is crooked. Or some fruit is not colorful. The apple is brown rather than bright red. Do you know those plain and misshapen foods are not sold? _______, they are thrown away. But some people want stores to sell those fruits and vegetables. They want to reduce food waste. They think shoppers will buy and eat those foods. A few food stores and markets just began selling them. They sell them at lower prices than “beautiful” produce. Ugly produce may be different-looking, but it tastes the same.
The answer is 2) "Instead". Someone claims that 1) "Besides" and 5) "In addition" can also be answers.
What's your opinion, teachers?
