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.”

This sentence insinuates a positive connotation by indicating that Jessica likes being with her friends. Thus, the blank should be occupied by a phrase that is also positive. The only positive phrase from the answer choices is: "enjoys the connection of being with them."

Right away, you may have noticed that both the question and the answer choices are extremely emotional! Words like "vehement," "superiority," "love," and "passion" all imply strong feeling. Our task is simply to figure out what type of emotion is being conveyed. We know that the science teacher "vehemently," or very intensely, believes that science is the best school subject. She would certainly never prefer a different subject! Likewise, we can guess that she does not deeply love mathematics, and we certainly know her passion for math would not be "unsurpassed." We're left with only one potential answer. The science teacher must have a "general distaste," or dislike, for mathematics.

A "deadline" is a date by which something has to be finished. So, if the "deadline" for your homework is tomorrow you need to finish it by tomorrow. In this sentence the girl finds out there is no deadline for her homework so it makes sense that she would "feel no need to hurry (rush)." 

In this sentence you are told that the doctor was "forced to bring an umbrella." The main reason why someone would bring an umbrella is to prevent them from getting wet. If the doctor was wet or had just gotten out of the pool and umbrella would not really make sense. 

To begin with "dreadful" means terrible. The team lost their biggest game of the season and played terribly. So, it makes sense that they would be criticized severely or "crucified" by the media. To "crucify" means to criticize severely, to attack the reputation of. Additionally, "exhibited" means showed, displayed; "devised" means came up with (a plan); to "compromise" means to work together to find an agreement that is pleasing to both parties, to resolve a dispute by each side giving something up; "consolidated" means combined into one whole.

To begin with "parched" means thirsty, needing water. So, if the plant looked like it did not have enough water it makes sense that the subject would feel the need to water it. The correct answer is therefore " . . . so she poured water on it."
