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.

Crumb keeps a b that nobody says, so writing only what he heard dropped a letter. The relative crumble says the b out loud, so the sign should say Not a crumb left on the plate.

knight has a silent k and lamb has a silent b.
island has no relative that says the s. I remember it as an island IS LAND with water all round it.
