Hi Abdo,

"... with the words given below/after the exercise"
or "...with the given words" (if the words follow the assignment)
or "with the words given"(under the condition that the words are given, as the opposite to the assignments where the words are not given).


If it helps,

Thats is kinda tough. I believe the answer is #2 "words given".
If I had to decide on somethink like that, I would change the
question. Example: complete the following sentences with
the words shown in the box below.

Rule of thumb: there is more that one way to skin a cat.
(an american saying, meaning you can do things
more than one way.)

Hope that helps. :)

If it was just those two choices then i would pick #1 because that one is more commonly used. However, there is more than one way to word the sentence.
There has to be a good rule for this. Do you know what the rule is? Please let me know if you know. Ok? Thanks.
