## Answer

The How I Feel About My School questionnaire, designed by experts at the University of Exeter Medical School, is **available** to download for free. It **uses** emoticon-style faces with options of happy, ok or sad. It asks children to rate how they feel in seven situations including on the way to school, in the classroom and in the playground. It is **designed** to help teachers and others to **communicate** with very young children on complex emotions. The project was supported by the National Institute for Health Research Collaboration for Applied Health Research and Care South West Peninsula ( NIHR PenCLAHRC). Professor Tamsin Ford, Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Exeter Medical School, **led** the design, involving children to give feedback on which style of questionnaire they could relate to best.

We couldn't find anything that could provide what we needed, so we decided to create something.

## Explanation

Blank 6 completes the phrasal verb "carry out," which means do or conduct. The word "out" after the gap is your clue, so "carrying" fits. "Setting out" and "making out" have different meanings. In blank 4, "communicate with" matches the "with" after the gap and the idea of talking about emotions.

## Hints

- Look for words that describe the state or action of the questionnaire in the context of the surrounding sentence.
- Consider the grammatical role of the missing word; for example, is it a verb describing an action or an adjective describing a status?
