Answer 1

Resposta:

1. They are not interested in going to the museum.

2. The boys' bikes were painted in blue and golden.

3. Lucy lives downtown.

4. I need a detailed review about the movie.

Explicação:

1. o correto é ''interested in''

2. quando o substantivo está no plural, apenas adicionamos '' 's '' para fazer o possessivo. Verbo ''to paint'' pede ''in'' quando for falar de cores.

3. Downtown só vai ter ''in'' se for adjetivo.

   Lucy lives in the downtown area. (adjetivo)

4. Adjetivo = detailed antes do substantivo = review

    ex.: beautiful girl, good boy, interesting book, old house
