2. Which place to you want to go this weekend? On one .........., there is the blues concert. On the other, there is the salmon festival. Either choice sounds good to me, so it is your decision, Chris told his wife.

9. I wouldn't cheat in Mr. Park's class if I were you. He has warned everyone, on .......... of expulsion, not to cheat and he means it. It is not worth getting kicked out of school to cheat instead of spending the time to study, Grace told Lacey.
