Answer:excited

Explanation:当描述某人对某事感到兴奋时，应使用形容词”excited”，表示某人的情感状态。而”excite”是动词，表示使某人兴奋。所以在这个句子中，应该使用”excited”来修饰主语”He”。2、Shedoesn’thaveenoughmoneytobuythewatch,soshedecidedtoborrowsomefromherfriend.(保持句意基本不变)

Shedecidedtoborrowsomemoneyfromherfriend_______shedidn’thaveenoughmoneytobuythewatch.

Answer:because

Explanation:题目要求保持句意基本不变，将两个句子合并为一个句子。在合并句子时，可以使用连词来连接两个分句。根据句意，前后两个句子之间存在因果关系，即因为钱不够，所以她决定向朋友借钱。所以，可以使用连词”because”来连接两个句子，表示原因。3、—Whatdoyouthinkofthebook?It’sreally________interestingbook.I’vereadittwice.A.aB.anC.theD./
