My second go at these quizzes: 1 - ??? 2 - runway 3 - optimist 4 - hilarious 5 - obstacke 6 - abortion 7 - mind-grabbing 8 - explain 9 - complicated 0 - pregnancy Looking at Douglas �s suggestions (after trying my own), number one now seems so clear and obvious!... And my initial suggestions for numbers 8 and 9 (the ones I keep here) now seem a great 2nd best!
