9> “I think a little Beano will solve my problem with broccoli,”
Tom said astutely.
8> “If you want to get rid of your love handles, try this
exercise,” Tom said obliquely.
7> “I never wear a condom!” Tom said rashly.
6> “Would you like to come bungee jumping?” Tom asked cordially.
5> “Your deodorant is the pits,” said Tom dryly, “but I’ll let

4> “Is Albuterol any good?” Tom asked breathlessly.
