Mad Ade's Autoantonyms #3
In this Teaser Mad Ade has created a sentence using Autoantonym, which are words that have two opposing meanings.
For example :
"Despite securing the ----, the horses still managed to ---- free"
In this case the answer would be "Bolt" one meaning to secure and fasten, the other to mean to break free.
Can you work out the Autoantonym for these two sentences?
1, "Despite having his legs -----, Mad Ade still managed to ----- all over the place"
2, "Today Mad Ade helped his wife to ---- all the furniture, then she helped him ---- icing sugar on a cake he had made."
