US CITIES: Vocabulary practice for ESL students: CHARLESTON, SC

Here's a new way to learn and practice English: We've developed a series of exercises based on descriptions of some of the most famous American cities. Here's a description of Charleston, SC. Read it and choose the right word for each blank space :) Good luck!

Charleston is a small but (beauty/beautiful) city in the state of South Carolina. It is considered to be one of America's most (charmed/charming) cities due to its (imprinted/impressive) historic architecture and the lush (vegetables/vegetation) typical of the South (southeastern region of the United States). Up until 1800, Charleston was the fifth largest city in North America, behind Philadelphia, New York City, Boston, and Quebec City.

Charleston is also known as The Holy City (due to (numerous/numbered) steeples that are (viewed/visible) in the city's low-rise skyline). Its economy is mainly based on its (occupied/busy) port and tourism .The city is also (place/home) to several military (constructions/bases). Charleston has a (united/unique) (though vanishing) dialect of American English.
