To answer this problem it is pretty important to know the definition of "entrepreneur." An "entrepreneur" is a businessperson who runs their own business or takes risky business ventures. From here the correct answer is merely determining which answer choices relates to something that "entrepreneurs" might do. So, the correct answer is " . . . they own a business in Sacramento."

To solve this problem you first need to know that "popular" means well-liked or favored and in demand. So, which of these is a quality that might make someone become well liked? The correct answer is " . . . people think I'm cool." The other answer choices are either nonsensical or describe reasons why someone might not be popular. 

To solve this problem you first need to know that to "confront" means to meet someone in person and express anger or disagreement. So, which of these answer choices could have come directly before the boy was confronted by his angry father? The correct answer is simply "He got home . . . " All the other answer choices suggest things that would not make someone confront someone else. Additionally, "dramatic" means extreme, very large; "acclaimed" means widely praised; "underwent" means went through, experienced. 

The use of the word "wild" means the prediction he made must have been crazy. The use of the word "somehow" means that however unlikely the thing the subject did he was still successful. So, the only logical answer here is that the subject " . . . was right." Additionally, "miscalculated" means made an error in figuring out; "completely" means totally, utterly, without exception. 

The use of the semi-colon tells you that the information contained in the second part of the sentence must support or continue the idea contained in the first part of the sentence. Also, "strange" means weird, unusual. So, the correct answer is " . . . it is unique." "Unique" means one of a kind, unmatched. Additionally, "uninteresting" means not interesting, boring; "common" means normal, happening regularly; "scarce" means rare; "abundant" means found in large quantities.

To begin with it is important to know that "cunning" means crafty, sly, capable of doing something through trickery. Foxes are commonly described as "cunning" and "sneaky" so this is the correct answer. The other answer choices are either illogical, as in, "totally clumsy" or else contain conjunctions that do not make sense in context.

The use of the conjunction "but" suggests that even though the author does not usually do something, today he will do differently. This is because the conjunction "but" changes the meaning of a sentence to something opposite or surprising. So, the correct answer is " . . . today I will make an exception." An "exception" is something left out of a rule or general practice. The other answer choices are either completely nonsensical or else would be better suited to the conjunction "and" which continues the same meaning in a sentence.

To solve this problem you need to figure out what might logically happen before someone "hires" (gives a job to) the speaker. The correct answer is therefore "The manager quit . . . " because this would give someone a reason to hire the speaker. All the other answer choices do not logically make sense within the context of the sentence. Additionally, "belongings" are possessions, things that are owned; "hostile" means aggressive. 

The use of the word "still" suggests that the subject might not be expected to be "generous" (giving) with her money. This matches with the conjunction "although." So, the correct answer is "Although she is very poor . . . " "Although" means something like even though, in spite of. "Although" is a very hard word to define so let us look at another two examples - "Although I am hungry, I refuse to eat" and "Although I know he loves me, I can't remember the last time he showed it." Additionally, "pious" means devout, holy, devoted to religion.

To begin with "outbreak" means the sudden beginning of something. So, war suddenly began, which of these answer choices is related to this context? The correct answer is "He joined the army . . . " The other answer choices either don't relate to war or suggest the end of a war.
