<p>Explanation: "Finish" is the most suitable synonym for "are over" in this context. It indicates the completion or conclusion of the classes at 7 in the evening.</p>
<p>Option A ("go on") and Option B ("continue") imply ongoing or continuing actions, which are opposite in meaning to "are over."</p>

<p>Option E ("was alive") provides the appropriate antonym for "dead" in the context of describing the friend's father's condition.</p>
<p> Options A ("killed"), B ("living"), C ("came"), and D ("was ill") do not contrast with "dead" in the same way as "was alive" does.</p>

<p>Option A ("puts"), Option B ("likes"), Option D ("stares"), and Option E ("stands") do not have the same meaning as "looks" or "sees."</p>
<p>Therefore, Option C ("sees") is the correct choice as it maintains the intended meaning of the sentence. If you choose "stares," the sentence would read: "He stares at himself in the glass."</p>
