Explanations:
1. Inscribed is when something is written in stone or metal ; minute is written in a
meeting ; Register is for a course or school.
2. The text goes on to give the translation of the word.
3. Turn over means “being put upside down”.
4. It is the only verb that is reflexive.
5. It is the only one that collocates with “rules”.
6. It is the only one that can be used with an object.
7. It gives the meaning of “started” while the other options need the preposition
“from”.
8. It has the idea of future ability.
