1. I feel sorry for my friend, Craig. He just broke his back and is .......... a lot of pain.

2. I really wanted to ride the Cyclone at the amusement park. Unfortunately, it was .......... repair when we went.

3. I am not .......... the habit of drinking but I do enjoy an occasional glass of white wine or a dark beer.

4. You might not want to come over tonight. A lot of the roads are closed because the policemen are .......... parade tonight to celebrate one of their landmark dates; I forget which one.

5. I used to be very fast until I broke my ankle. It was the last race of the school year and I was .......... the lead. I was so far out ahead, I could not lose. That was when I stepped in the gopher hole and my track career was over.

6. We are always looking for partners who are involved in projects that are .......... line with our corporate objectives.

7. I don't like to go to night clubs very often. I'll go, .......... occasion, if a friend drags me to one but otherwise, I'd rather just stay home or see a friend.

8. I am sorry, Sir. Your request is still .......... discussion. When the board has an answer for you, I will contact you and let you know.

9. No, Mom. I am still not working. There are no jobs .......... the horizon either. I am not sure what I am going to do.

10. Luckily, unemployment, at least in our city, is .......... the decline.
