To answer your question, we need to transform the words in brackets into either their adjective or adverb forms, depending on whether they describe a state of being (how someone feels) or a characteristic of something (how something is). Let’s go through each sentence one by one:

1. "I’m __(bore) because the film is __(bore)."

   • Here, you are describing your own feeling (bored) as a result of the characteristic of the film (boring).
   • Corrected sentence: "I’m bored because the film is boring."

2. "I’m __(interest) because the book is_____( interest)."

   • Similar to the first example, this sentence describes your feeling (interested) about the characteristic of the book (interesting).
   • Corrected sentence: "I’m interested because the book is interesting."

3. "I’m___ (shock) because the news is___(shock)."

   • Again, the sentence describes your reaction or feeling (shocked) caused by the property of the news (shocking).
   • Corrected sentence: "I’m shocked because the news is shocking."

4. "I’m__ (embarrass) because the situation is__ (embarrass)."

   • This sentence expresses your feeling (embarrassed) about the nature of the situation (embarrassing).
   • Corrected sentence: "I’m embarrassed because the situation is embarrassing."

5. "I'm really __(disappoint) by what you did."

   • This sentence needs to express your feeling (disappointed) towards the actions of someone else.
   • Corrected sentence: "I'm really disappointed by what you did."

6. "The flight lasted for 8 hours, which was absolutely __(exhaust)."

   • This sentence describes the nature or characteristic of the flight (exhausting) and how it might make someone feel.
   • Corrected sentence: "The flight lasted for 8 hours, which was absolutely exhausting."

In each case, the first blank is filled with an adjective that describes the speaker's feeling (bored, interested, shocked, embarrassed, disappointed), and the second blank describes the characteristic of the object or situation (boring, interesting, shocking, embarrassing, exhausting).
