Adapt vs Adopt 🔒

With 9 fill-in-the-blank sentences, this quiz works on the difference between adapt and adopt. To adapt is to change so you fit a new situation, and to adopt is to take something on as your own. You will weigh sentences like "If you can ___ to change easily, you will have a more successful and happy life" and "Why not ___ the greyhound dog after its race career is over?" Because the spelling is so close, it works best for intermediate students. Notice how your eyes adapt to darkness by widening, one of the example sentences here.
