Answer 2

Answer: Sue and Bob decided to separate their vegetable and flower gardens


There are two different seperates here. One is an adjective, the other is a verb.

In the answer above, separate is a verb. It is an action. Sue and Bob are separating their gardens. A synonym for this separate is “to split up”.

In the other, incorrect answers, separate is used as an adjective. It is describing. A synonym for this separate is “apart.”
