1) Put a word that means to same as the bolded word from the
   Thesaurus in the space.

I knelt beside/next to Diggity.  He made no effort/achievement to get up.  His neck was a pulpy mass/heap of blood, and his rib cage rose and fell unevenly/unequally.  Dad scooped/gathered him into his arms and staggered/wobbled up the beach.  Mum and Lucy were already in the car with the hatch/boot up and engine running.  The vet said Diggity had lost heaps/ a lot of blood.  The outlook/ vision wasn’t good.  When the phone rang/was ringing later that evening, nobody was in a hurry to answer/reply to it.  But Diggity did survive.
