Since Mrs. Ward felt that she was【C5】______to compensation, she sued the firm in the Law Courts.

But the judge took a different view. He said that the accident would not have happened at all if the firm had taken【C7】______care. It was up to the firm, he said, to provide【C8】______, that the accident did not【C9】______from any negligence on their part. They would【C10】______be in a better position than the customer to establish how long the ice-cream had been spilt and explain the circumstances to the Courts.

此处应填入形容词或分词,且能与介词to搭配。沃德太太把公司告上了法庭是因为她觉得有理由得到赔偿,填入的词应表“有权利”、“有理由”之类的意思,entitled符合条件,be entitled to sth.意为“有……的权利”。
