Answer:
- occasions
- with
- there
- out
- outside
- is
Explanation:
1. Since the sentence has the word next to the blank as "were" this indicates that the word which will fill the blank will be plural. The correct spelling and plural form is occasions.
2. According to spoken English the word "with" fits well in the blank and rolls off the tongue while speaking.
3. The word to be used is "there". We have to be careful of spelling since their meaning something completely different than there.
4. Taking the easy way out is often referred as a saying which means doing something via shortcuts or being lazy to go the real way. Thus out is the word.
5. The sentence completes by contrast and comparison to dining at home. Thus outside will be best suited.
6. The sentence is in present continuous tense hence "is" will be used.
