Question

Please put the ... glasses on the table.a) highb)tall

Answer 1

"Несмотря на кажущееся сходство прилагательных Tall и High, существует заметная разница в их употреблении.High обозначает высоту объекта, когда его основание шире, чем остальная часть.( We were mesmerized by the high mountains - Мы были зачарованы высокими горами.),а tall употребляется именно для обозначения длины объекта. Обязательным условием для употребления tall является совпадение (полное или практическое) ширины основания с шириной вершины. (King Kong climbed to the top of the tallest building in the city - Кинг Конг вскарабкался на вершину самого высокого в городе здания.)"
Так что я думаю,что tall.

Answer 2

To answer your question, the correct word to complete the sentence is "high." Therefore, the sentence should be "Please put the high glasses on the table." Let me explain why "high" is the appropriate word choice in this context.

When we use the word "high" to describe glasses, we are referring to their height or tallness. In this case, we are asking someone to place the glasses that have a significant height or tallness on the table. This could mean that the glasses are taller than usual or have a larger size compared to other glasses.

On the other hand, the word "tall" is typically used to describe the height of objects or people. While it is possible to use "tall" to describe glasses, it is less common and may not convey the intended meaning as clearly as "high" in this context.

Therefore, in the sentence "Please put the high glasses on the table," we are specifically asking for glasses with a significant height or tallness to be placed on the table.
