This word has a silent 'g'.
3. Dolphins are the ____ creatures in the world!

If you are changing the root word, like happy, and it ends in a 'y' - we replace the 'y' for an 'i'.
4. The bird was ____ as it flew around the flower.
[ ] huming
[ ] humin

It happens to be a hummingbird. The word 'hum' has a short vowel sound, so we need to double the last letter then add 'ing'.
5. I ____ seen one of these animals before.

[ ] havn't
The apostrophe replaces the missing 'o'.
