1) First, let's read the text to understand the context. The text talks about "My town" and mentions several aspects of it, such as buildings, monuments, an old quarter, bars, restaurants, and a town centre.
2) Now let's look at the first sentence: "My town is very old and(1) – there are lots of buildings and monuments to look at." Here, we need an adjective that describes something old. The only suitable option from the list is "historic." So, "My town is very old and historic - there are lots of buildings and monuments to look at."
3) Moving on to the next sentence: "It has an old quarter which has lots of bars and restaurants." Here, we need an adjective that describes the atmosphere in the old quarter, which is mentioned as always fun. The suitable option from the list is "lively." So, "It has an old quarter which is always fun and lively - it has lots of bars and restaurants."
4) Let's proceed to the next part: "At the weekend the atmosphere there is always fun and (2)." Here, we need an adjective that describes the atmosphere at the old quarter during the weekend. The suitable option from the list is not mentioned, so we need to look for the next sentence for more clues.
5) The next sentence says: "I would recommend Donatello’s restaurant as it has great pasta dishes. But on Friday evenings it’s very popular and it gets really (3), so sometimes it’s difficult to get a table." Here, we need an adjective that describes the restaurant on Friday evenings when it's popular. The suitable option from the list is "crowded." So, "At the weekend the atmosphere there is always fun and crowded."
6) Let's move on to the next sentence: "Also it’s impossible to have a conversation with your friends because it’s really (4) with all the people talking at once." Here, we need an adjective that describes the noise level in the restaurant. The suitable option from the list is "noisy." So, "Also, it’s impossible to have a conversation with your friends because it’s really noisy with all the people talking at once."
7) Now let's look at the next sentence: "The town centre is very different to the old quarter. It was built quite recently so the buildings are more (5)." Here, we need an adjective that describes the buildings in the town centre. The suitable option from the list is "modern." So, "The town centre is very different to the old quarter. It was built quite recently so the buildings are more modern."
8) Finally, let's analyze the last part of the text: "and it has a great shopping centre." Here, we don't have any specific adjectives to add, but we can infer that the shopping centre is probably a positive aspect of the town. So, we can omit adding an adjective here.
Putting it all together, the completed text is:
"My town is very old and historic - there are lots of buildings and monuments to look at. It has an old quarter which is always fun and lively - it has lots of bars and restaurants. At the weekend the atmosphere there is always fun and crowded. I would recommend Donatello’s restaurant as it has great pasta dishes. But on Friday evenings it’s very popular and it gets really noisy, so sometimes it’s difficult to get a table. Also, it’s impossible to have a conversation with your friends because it’s really noisy with all the people talking at once. The town centre is very different to the old quarter. It was built quite recently so the buildings are more modern, and it has a great shopping centre."
