    Would it be correct if I put down “killed” in no.50 and “reproduction” in no.61?

    Hey Kanas, I don’t have the book now and can’t respond to you right away. Can you give me the sentences so that I can work out the part of speech and usage?

    Q.61 Can I use growing instead of breeding?
    Are they the same?
    Thanks~

    To Kanas

    None of them sound alright in the blanks!

    To Wendy

    I don’t think ‘growing’ is good here as it does not mean the same as ‘breeding’.
