The (victorious/successful/triumphant) smile on Cathy’s face was all her reaction after she emerged (successful/victorious/triumphant) from the competition. She ate her words (although/but/so/however) she promised me that she would attribute some of the achievement to the (group/team/type/sort) work. Linda, who could not stand Cathy’s attitude anymore, went up to her. “I have to (talk into/talk out of/talk of/ talk to) you right now,” Linda demanded. “Well, as you can see, I am quite busy,” Cathy answered. When Linda was about to resort to some kind of violence, I jumped in and pulled her away. “Forget it. You can never her (talk … into/ talk … out of/ talk … about/ talk … to) apologizing,” said I. Linda calmed down and swore that she would never be in the same team with Cathy again.
