Task 1 gives the letter of the right option as printed on the sheet. Task 2 lists the mistakes in the order they appear, with the correction. Task 3 and 4 answers are models, not the only acceptable wording: any answer that uses the rule the lesson taught should be credited.
MildAsk what the beginning does: undo, again, wrongly, or too much.

Model answers
On Monday we defrost the freezer.
Polpetta always overcooks the pasta.
Please do not misread the order.
4 · Help Polpetta
It is wrong because un is not the beginning that takes frost off; that job is done by de, so it is defrost. And overlook does not mean cook too much, it means fail to notice, so he needs overcook.

reheat is the beginning that is already right (the decoy).

Tick: defrost, disconnect, disappear · We defrost the freezer every Monday.
Tick: overcook, overeat · Polpetta overcooked the pasta and it went soft.
Tick: misread, misspell · I misread the order and brought soup instead of salad.

Un is the wrong beginning for taking frost off; English uses de, so it is defrost. Overlook does not mean cook too much, it means fail to notice, so the pasta rule needs overcook.

reheat is the decoy. misconnected is a real word doing the wrong job; the rule needs dis- (disconnected).
Spicyover- has two jobs. Decide which one the sentence actually needs.

Model answers
Polpetta overcooked the pasta, and a branch overhangs the garden wall.
Defrost undoes the frost in the freezer.
I misread the order, so I reread it and brought the right soup.
4 · Help Polpetta
Defrost is right now, but overtake means go past, not cook too much, so the pasta rule still needs overcook. Overtake is the right word here: The lorry overtook the bus on the hill.
