Let’s go through each sentence and choose the correct word from the options given.
1.
Sentence:
Linda and Maggie have been friends for a long time. They really get on well and always spend their time together. They have many things in common. They are buddies / wrong friends.
Correct choice: buddies
Explanation: Since Linda and Maggie are good friends who get along well, “buddies” (meaning good friends) is the correct word rather than “wrong friends.”
2.
Sentence:
Chris is a disciplined / laid-back man. He has a schedule and always follows it. He never ignores his duties and he always checks all the personnel under his order.
Correct choice: disciplined

Correct choice: busy

4.
Sentence:
Ashley always thought that Kylie was supportive / a liar. But last weekend Kylie had an argument with Susan at school and Kylie didn’t back her up even if she was right.
