The issue here is one of fairness. The store owner does not want to overcharge, which implies that he has some idea of a fair price that he should charge for his goods. When we act fairly, we act with justice. Something that is "fair" can be called "just."

Since Heidi is upset because of her brother's actions, it probably means that her brother aggravates or "antagonizes" her. The other answer choices mean the following: "soothe" means calm; and "encourage" means support. "Interrupt" and "tease" are tricky choices. While it might bother and annoy someone to be teased or interrupted, we are told that Heidi's younger brother specifically steals her favorite stuffed animal, which isn't "teasing" or "interrupting." So, "antagonize" is the best choice because it is a more general word.

In this sentence, it is made clear that the student has an excess of energy and as a result is pacing about his room. This indicates that he is "restless," meaning that he is not able to relax himself. "Restless" is therefore the best way to complete this sentence.

Although "tempo" is a musical term that would be grammatically correct in this sentence, it is unlikely that someone would be able to understand someone's favorite tempo (speed) of music by their choice of outfit. It is more likely that someone would conclude that someone who wore a cowboy outfit would like the country music "genre" (category).

If someone wants to figure out whether they want to see a film, they would most likely prefer to know the plot summary or read a synopsis of the film.

Typically, the hero or heroine is the character in a novel who courageously battles beasts and other warriors; this person is the protagonist or the leading character.

The only answer choice that is a required characteristic of ships is buoyancy or the ability to remain afloat in a liquid; for ships, they must remain afloat in ocean water.

We can infer from the sentence that the kitten had "constant energy and enthusiasm" for playing, so we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like "energy" or "enthusiasm." So, neither "dislike of" nor "disinterest in" can be the correct answer because neither of those answers make sense in the sentence's blank, and neither mean "energy" or "enthusiasm." "Zest for," however, means "great enthusiasm and energy for," and because it is the answer choice that best describe's the kitten's energy and enthusiasm for playing and best fits the context of the sentence, "zest for" is the correct answer.

We know that the translator "[paid] careful attention to every word" as she worked on the poem, and that "she found a way to translate its subtle jokes and purposeful misspellings into another language." So, we can infer that the translator worked on the poem with incredible accuracy, and that we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like "accuracy." "Lassitude" wouldn't make sense in the sentence's blank because "lassitude" means "a state of physical or mental weariness; lack of energy," and we're not given any information to suggest that the translator was tired. "Precision," however, is a noun that means "the quality, condition, or fact of being exact and accurate," and because "precision" best describes the quality of the translator's translation, "precision" is the correct answer.

We can infer that because Jenny "needed the waist to be taken in and the sides slimmed down because the skirt was a bit big on her," we need to pick out a noun that means something like "changes" to describe the changes the tailor made to the skirt. "Alteration" is a noun that means "the act of making something different (for example, the size of a garment)," and because it best describes the changes Jenny needed the tailor to make to her skirt, "alterations" is the correct answer.
