1. My hands ------------------ when I'm nervous. (get cold). or "sweaty"

2.I am mot sad; on --------------- ------------------, I feel happy. "on the contrary"

3.Is your sister the short,chubby one? No,quite the opposite;she's the ----------- and ______ -faced one. "tall" "thin-faced"

4.The phone rang ---------- as I was leaving the house.(for a while) I'd say "just" or "suddenly". You cannot hear the phone ringing for a while as you are leaving the house, it's too short an action (leaving)

5.To -------------- means to say sorry. "apologize"

6.A dozen =12; abaker's dozen=_____________ ( I think it is also equal to 12). isn't it 13?
