Hi regine!

To zero in = to aim directly our attention to somebody or something.
To zing along-- To zing: to whistle ( ex: bullets were whistling all around us) but I found nothing with along.
To zip in--( when you're into a sleeping bag, you zip in to keep you warm).
To zip on = to put a piece of clothing on and zip up.
To zip through-- to close all the zipper.
To zip up = to fasten with a zip.
To zonk out--
To zoom in = with a camera: move into a close-up picture or to focus sharply on a matter.
To zoom out = to produce a distance effect with the zoom.

for this exercise. It wasn't easy to find them in spite of all my English books. But it improves our vocabulary.
