Answer 3

Force of habit is "involuntary or automatic behavior caused from repeated practice"--basically something you do all the time, or at a certain point of time during the day, without thinking about it. Example: out of force of habit, you eat breakfast at 8 a.m.
Purple Haze--was the name of a song by the late Jimi Hendrix, recorded in 1967 and what made him famous. It is rumored the title referred to either a strong dose of LSD (a dangerous drug that can cause often deadly hallucinations. Users see things that aren't there, hear voices talking to them in their mind, etc. and can lead to suicide) he had an experience with; a type of marijuana; a dream he had of walking under the ocean and being surrounded by a purple-colored haze; the name of a liquor; or a theme from a book he was reading.
Creek refers to a small stream of water, an inlet to the ocean, or a narrow channel between the islands of the Florida Keys. In southwest Iowa, where I live, a creek is often referred to a "run" and they are often shallow enough that you can walk across them without needing a bridge. However, they CAN flood, just like a regular river, if it rains hard enough and long enough.

Answer 4

Force of habit means: you do the same thing the same way every time without thinking.

Purple Haze: was a Jimi Hendrix song. He might have been referring to what he saw when he was high on something. A 70's sort of thing.

Creek: a stream of water often at the base of a mountain.

I speak only English fluently, so I didn't learn any new words today.
