Thank you for your nice words. Here...Hello, Carmen. Thank you for your nice words. Here are my answers to your queries:<br />In 22, alert is a perfectly valid alternative to wakeful.<br />In 21, still can also be an alternative to calm, but it is normally used in attributive position (still waters, a still sea, etc.) for the predicative position, calm is preferred.<br />In 24, smart, clever and cocky have other connotations which don't make them acceptable as antonyms for naïve: smart and clever are the opposite of stupid, for example, and cocky, of modest or diffident.I hope my answers can be of some use to you.

Now,...Very good excercise, Paco, congratulations. <br /><br />Now, my answers to some questions have another possible answer or answers besides the one or one or ones provided, so I would appreciate it if you could correct mine and explain the reason why they are not or cannot be acceptable: <br /><br />Exercise no. 21 ROUGH - still (my answer)<br /> no. 22 DROWSY - alert<br /> no. 24 NAÏVE - smart, clever, cocky<br /><br />That's all for now, thanks.
