Here are the correct words for each sentence based on standard English usage and dictionary definitions:

  1. still — I want a bottle of still water, not sparkling.
    • Explanation: Still water is non-carbonated water, whereas "fizzy" and "sparkling" both refer to water with bubbles.
  2. bitter — She loves bitter chocolate.
    • Explanation: High-quality dark chocolate is naturally bitter due to high cocoa solids; "oily" is not a standard way to describe the flavor profile of chocolate.
  3. spices — Cinnamon and ginger are spices.
    • Explanation: Cinnamon and ginger are aromatic plant substances used to flavor food, classified as spices.
  4. starving — Let's eat. I am starving.
    • Explanation: In informal English, starving is a common hyperbole for being very hungry, while "greedy" describes a selfish desire for more than one needs.
  5. artificial — Fizzy drinks contain artificial additives.
    • Explanation: The term "artificial" is the standard technical descriptor for man-made food additives like colors or sweeteners; "fake" is too informal for this context.
  6. main — We had lamb chops for our main course.
    • Explanation: In a multi-course meal, the primary dish is called the main course; "basic" is not a standard culinary term for a meal stage.
