5. None! He has taken out all the dirt

6.It was a baseball game. The man was on third. The masked man was the catcher.

7.None. Are you surprised? But this is the answer, why? The boat rises with the tide.

8.What? In six hours? No, no, they will also dry in one hour. They are dried at the same time.

9.It is funny, isn't it? That something has a fork and a mouth too, but cannot eat. But it is true. It is the river. A river has a fork - a place where a river or a road splits and goes in two different directions; and a mouth too - a river's mouth where the river enters the ocean. Thus it has a form and a mouth, but cannot eat.

10.Your right elbow/hand. Try it hard, but you cannot hold them in your right hand.
