1. I'm sorry I didn't hear you knocking. I was so tired so I fell asleep. I guess I was .......... a deep sleep when you knocked on my door.

2. What are you .......... such a hurry for? You need to slow down because people make a lot of mistakes when they rush.

3. Don't worry I'll be back .......... a flash. I just need to run to the store and I will be back very soon.

4. I went to the store .......... foot yesterday. I really like taking short walks once in awhile.

5. Do you have any sugar .......... hand? I really need some and I don't have enough time to go to the supermarket.

6. Why are you .......... of breath? You look like you just ran a marathon? What's going on?

7. You are .......... arrest young man! said the disapproving police officer. "I caught you red-handed and you will serve time for this crime."

8. I need to see you identification please. You look like you are .......... age. In other words, you look like you're too young to legally buy cigarettes and I can't sell you any until you produce some valid ID.

9. Well, .......... the circumstances, I think I can forgive you for making such a poor decision. I know that you are going through a rough time but please remember that you still have to be responsible and considerate of others.

10. I always feel that my goals are just .......... of reach. I'm still unable to acquire all of things I want and that I work so hard to achieve.
