hink pink
 
Hi there :) I have a problem with an exercise in the book Powerful Vocabulary and I need help, pleeeeease. The exercise says:
Directions A �hink pink� is a pair of rhyming words. For example, a tiny room you enter after coming
in the door could be called a �small hall.� Demonstrate your understanding of the meaning of the
vocabulary words below by completing the hink pinks.

1. Everyone loves the baker�s cakes and cookies and says that she simply can�t improve
her ______________________ treats.
2. When he forgot the answers to the questions, his friends accused him of
having a ___________________________ drain.
3. I�m so angry that you had better _____________________ clear of me or I�ll just explode.
4. Since all his phone calls involved complaining, his parents accused him of
having a _____________________________ phone.
5. In the river, the police discovered the _______________________ barge used to carry
stolen goods.
6. The thief committed a crime by taking money from the cash ______________________.
7. �I forgive you. I know you didn�t mean it,� said Aunt Priscilla. �You�re so silly.
You�re just a ______________________ billy.�

I think that between Maryse and Lynne you �ve got all the answers. I would go with steer on 3 and as for 8 any word rhymes with     . Ed

If you really want to blow their minds, for #6 you could refer to the "cash cache" (using homophones), as well as the "cash stash." If someone has cash trash, can I dumpster dive at your place? Lynne has it right on 3, 6, and 7; maryse nailed 1,2,4, and 5 ("large barge," Lynne).
 
Here �s a possible #8: Our English Club has decided to go pick up trash from the sides of the road next Saturday. That �s our pollution solution! (Do we need a fourth game for the forums?)
