2) As the two boys argued over who should get the last piece of pizza, both seemed equally as hungry. Clearly they had forgotten their earlier decision to forgo having seconds.

3) He suspected his neighbor was selling drugs, so he called the FBI. His neighbor, however, cried foul at the accusation.

4) She grew up on the Great Plains near Alliance, N.E., where the winters are long and harsh, and the living is hand-to-mouth.

5) Her car was side swiped by a hit-and-run driver on Route 1-A this morning. She was not really injured, but the impact sent the contents of her purse helter-skelter. (4)
