We need to pick out an answer choice that means something like "courage" or "valor" because the sentence tells us that firefighters need to be unaffected by dangerous situations. So, "bravery," a noun that means courageous behavior or character, is the correct answer choice because it best fits the sentence's context. None of the other answer choices would make sense in the blank space: "danger" means the possibility of being harmed; "kindness" means the quality of being friendly or generous; and "narcissism" means excessive self-interest or interest in how one looks.

We need to pick out an answer choice that means something like "disaster" or "fiasco" because the sentence tells us that Bryan and Ophelia refuse to work together on their project. So, "failure," an adjective that means the opposite of a success, is the correct answer choice because it best fits the sentence's context. None of the other answer choices would make sense in the blank space: "boon" means something helpful; "success" is an antonym of "failure" and means the state of accomplishing something; and "ramshackle" is an adjective that means dilapidated or run-down.

The second clause reveals that the author was always happy at school, which suggests his memories would be fond or affectionate. The correct answer is therefore “affection.” To provide further help, “dismay” is a feeling of sadness and hopelessness; “disgust” means revulsion; “regret” is a feeling that you wish you had done things differently; “despondence” means hopelessness. 

The first thing you may notice about this rather long sentence is the key word "unlike." This tells us that Matt is different from Tyler, the boy who enjoys being active and constantly busy. In other words, we're looking for a word that means the opposite of "busy," and that similarly describes calming activities like relaxing on the couch. The only correct answer choice is "leisure," which refers to time devoted to relaxation or calming activities. "Labor" means work when it is used as a noun or a verb, which is the opposite of what Matt likes to do. "Intensity" implies that something is powerful or extreme, so it is not a word that we would think of as describing someone lounging on the sofa. Finally, "honesty," which means truthfulness, has nothing to do with this sentence.

When we copy from another person without giving them credit, it is called “plagiarism.” To provide further help, a “magnate” is a successful businessman; “qualms” are issues we take with something; “atheism” is disbelief in gods; “amorphous” means without shape.

The second part of the sentence tells us that Queen Elizabeth kept people’s spirits high and motivated the soldiers serving her. These are qualities of a good leader, so we can state that Queen Elizabeth I showed great “leadership.” To provide further help, “improvement” means made better; “frivolity” means playfulness; “truancy” means absence; “latency” means hidden potential.

We can tell from the sentence's context that we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like "journey." "Quest" is therefore the correct answer, as "quest" means journey undertaken to achieve some goal. None of the other answer choices make as much sense in the blank, as none of them convey the sense of seeking to achieve a goal.

We can infer that whatever Francis experiences regarding chocolate inspires him to go bake a batch of brownies with chocolate chips; so, the sentence must be describing Francis wanting chocolate. We need to pick out a noun that means something like desire or want. That means that "aversion" cannot be the correct answer, because "aversion" is a noun that means a significant dislike, making "aversion" an antonym, not a synonym, of desire or want. "Craving," however, when used as a noun, means a strong desire for something, and because "craving" best describes Francis's desire for chocolate, "craving" is the correct answer.

You add in mathematics class. Because she is not very good at adding, Susie did not do well on the mathematics test.

Even though this sentence is set up in a conversational way, don't get overwhelmed. We can easily tell that the textbook presents the same type of material over and over, and that this makes Stephanie upset. Therefore, what the textbook is "lacking" or missing is a diversity of topics. Since "diversity" is not one of the given choices, the best answer here is "variety." Variety refers to the state of containing different things, so a textbook without variety must repeat the same sort of written information and is likely not very exciting to read.
