There are seven stockings hanging from our fireplace (mantal,  mantel, mantle).
Most of the data (show, shows ) that the vaccine is safe. (Although data is plural, it generally takes a singular verb. The singular verb form takes the s at the end. However, both of these answers is correct, although shows is more common.)

The little boy was (moot, mute ) when I asked him questions about his family.

I am ( loath , loathe) to tell her about her husband.
She said she can (may be, maybe) help with the decorations.
 I (may, might ) or ( may, might ) not celebrate the holidays with family this year. (Either one works, but use the same one both times.)
I want to make sure I bought the (inflammable, nonflammable ) pajamas for the kids.
