Help the clumsy roommate complete this awkward text message exchange by dragging the correct words into the blanks.

Roommate 1: "I sincerely apologize for eating your fancy Greek yogurt. I thought it was mine!"
Roommate 2: "Oh, don't worry about it. It was past its expiration date anyway!"
Roommate 1: "Phew! I really appreciate your honesty... and your old yogurt."

Roommate 1: "I sincerely apologize for eating your fancy Greek yogurt. I thought it was mine!"

We use the preposition for after the verb "apologize" when referring to an action, usually followed by a gerund (-ing form).

Roommate 2: "Oh, don't worry about it. It was past its expiration date anyway!"

The fixed phrase is "worry about something." It is a very common and natural way to dismiss a minor apology.

Roommate 1: "Phew! I really appreciate your honesty... and your old yogurt."

We say "I appreciate [something]" to express gratitude. We cannot say "I thank your honesty" (we thank people, not things), and "grateful" requires the verb "to be" ("I am grateful for...").
