Конечно, давай разберем каждое предложение и вставим пропущенные слова или фразы из списка:

1. Tim was tapping his foot nervously while he was waiting for his test results.

   • Здесь слово "tapping" (постукивать) подходит по контексту, так как описывает нервное поведение.

2. Jane is a pretty girl with blue eyes and a(n) slim build.

   • Слово "slim" (стройный) подходит по контексту, так как описывает физическое строение девушки.

3. Don't worry, Greg will be here on time; he's very reliable.

4. When Mel told his colleagues that he was leaving the company, they decided to buy him a going-away present.

5. I don't think Claire is going camping this weekend; she still hasn't got over her cold.

   • Фраза "got over" (выздоровела, преодолела) подходит по контексту, так как описывает процесс восстановления после болезни.

6. When we complained to the waiter about the noisy people at the next table, he just shrugged his shoulders and said he couldn't do anything about them.
