Notice that George is frightened by the risks posed by the situation. In contrast to this, most others seem not to think the situation to be very "risky." This means that they do not think that it is very "dangerous."

The key phrase in this sentence is "allowing everyone to take part." The people want to have a greater degree of democracy in their town's political process. This is in contrast to the current actions of the mayor who apparently is doing everything in a controlling manner. Democracy is rule by all of the people, and a "democratic process" is a process that enables this kind of rule.

The best choice for this sentence is "fruits" because it is talking about processed sugars being bad for us. Using context clues, we can figure out that because it says "less candy," we are looking for something that is still sweet. The other choices are not sweet and would not make as much sense to complete the sentence.

To complete this sentence correctly, we must use the context clues from the rest of the sentence. The sentence talks about Mendel being a scientist and working with plants, therefore, it would make the most sense to complete the sentence with "experimented with a variety of plant types" because this is most closely related to the beginning of the sentence.

The second part of this sentence tells us that the football team treats their opponents with respect, even after a tough loss. This immediately eliminates two choices: since the players are being nice, they clearly are not "reacting with anger at their loss," and they are shaking hands, not "ignoring the other players." Additionally, the statement that "they celebrate afterwards with a good meal" is certainly possible, but not confirmed by the rest of the sentence. The answer is that they "display good sportsmanship," which means they acted honorably (they weren't "sore losers") and played fairly.

The second half of this sentence is fairly strong; if taking on more work is the "last thing Jessica wanted to do," then we're looking for an answer that explains why she so strongly wants to avoid putting more on her plate. Immediately, we can eliminate the idea that she is friends with her daughter's teacher; that fact alone wouldn't deter Jessica from working more intensely. We can also assume that if she were "available nearly all of the time," "having an unusually slow week," or had "relaxed all weekend," she would have no reason to avoid extra work at all costs. The only answer left is "overwhelmed by multiple assignments," which would certainly explain why Jessica wouldn't want to add even more projects to her schedule.

To properly complete this sentence, choose a completion that would be a reason to drive slowly out of a driveway. Meeting her brother for lunch downtown and buying a new laptop today are not relevant answers. Sandra would not drive slowly to “hit the mailbox on the way out” or “ignore other cars around her,” so the correct answer is that she would “look both ways on the street”.

Here, we are looking for “issues regarding eating too much unhealthy food,” meaning that the answer must be a negative side effect of eating unhealthy food. “Having too much fun eating junk food” and “making new friends when going out to eat” are not negative side effects. “Being unable to pass a driving test” and “always being late for appointments” are negative side effects, but not related to eating unhealthy food. Therefore, the correct answer is “having a heart problems later in life,” which is a possible negative side effect of eating unhealthy food.

Here, we are looking for a response to the first part of the sentence, in order to complete it properly. We need to decide what Bailey would do if her soda loses all of its “carbonation” (what makes soft drinks fizzy or bubbly). We can automatically knock out “enjoys the refreshing feeling of bubbles in her soda” as an answer, since it is the opposite of what has happened. Bailey would not congratulate the soda on a job well done, since losing carbonation is a negative characteristic, and the soda is an inanimate object. Hugging her mom and finding her cowboy hat are entirely unrelated actions to the soda losing carbonation. The correct answer is Bailey “pours it out and gets a new drink."

In the first part of the sentence, it is revealed that it is Becky’s brother’s birthday, so in order to celebrate it properly, Becky “surprised him with a big gift at dinner.” “Playing soccer with her best friend,” “bought herself a new backpack” and “remembered to wash the dishes” have nothing to do with celebrating a birthday. Because the birthday is described as “exciting,” Becky would celebrate properly by doing more than giving her brother “a high five and walking way.”
