Hello dear Anele!
Thank you for your answers.
You and nida are right exactly. It must be "unrequited".
I've corrected it just now.
Thanks dear ni∂α.
The meaning:
3. My sister hated her friend because of her friend's lie.
6. The detective listened to his 6thsense and could catch the guilty person.
7. Young boys love football.
Oh!

Let me say that we must find the WRONG adjective here.
It means that 2 adjectives are used but one is wrong and the WRONG adjective is the answer.
**As soon as I've got the right answers in the class, it will be post here.
3, 6 and 7....
Will you please explain what is the correct answer for above sentences and why?
Thanks in advance, dear Sahar.
1. His love for her was unreuited (or may be the correct word/spelling is unrequited). Sadly, she didn't like him at all.
2. There was mounting excitement as the big day approached.
3. My sister felt nothing but intense hatred toward hr friend after finding out she'd deceived her.
4. The explorers kept searching even though there was only a faint hope of finding the treasure.
5. The last book I read was a novel which made a lasting impression on me.
6. The detective acted on gut instinct and eventually caught the suspect.
7. Many young boys have a considerable passion for football.
I hope that not all of answers are wrong.
