I have to turn in an exercise - Use of English Part 4:

Can someone "drop a hint"?

as in this sentence: "John has "dropped" a hint that he no longer
whishes to remain in the group".

Doubt No 2:

The word signature, which verb indicates the action? give, write, put,
sign...

as in this sentence: "It was with reluctancity that I "wrote" my
signature on the contarct.

Thanks and please don't consider it cheating... lol

Yes, you drop a hint.

You put your signature on a contract (could also be "to a contract" -
actually I think this is the more common usage).
