I put all the brushes on the table and a tea towel next to every chair. First we had a starter. I cooked tomato soup and put it into the glasses on the table. Everybody started to eat the soup with their knives. After the starter we had meat and potatoes and a salad with purple dressing. I put the meat on the teaspoons and the potatoes in the bottles. For the salad we used my wonderful yellow cups. We cut the meat with our spoons. The meat was good - green and hard. For dessert we had strawberry and onion ice cream with white beans and a vanilla sauce. Afterwards everybody drank a saucer of coffee with salt and pepper. It was a wonderful evening but the next morning everyone was sick. I can't understand why.

Решение:

В тексте не выделены слова жирным шрифтом для замены. Однако, исходя из контекста и списка слов, можно предположить, какие слова подразумевались:

• brushes (щетки) → knives (ножи) - вероятно, имелось в виду, что на стол положили приборы.
• teaspoons (чайные ложки) → plates (тарелки) - мясо обычно подается на тарелках.
• bottles (бутылки) → serving plates (сервировочные тарелки) или bowls (миски) - картофель вряд ли ставили в бутылки.
• spoons (ложки) → knives (ножи) - мясо обычно режут ножами.
• cups (чашки) → bowls (миски) - салат скорее всего подавался в мисках.
• saucer (блюдце) → cup (чашка) - кофе пьют из чашки, а не блюдца.
