A "vigilante" is someone who takes the law into his or her own hands. When the character chases the villains that the police cannot capture, he is taking the law into his own hands. The sentence says nothing to suggest that the character is a police officer or agent of some kind, and "innocent" and "musician" are nonsensical answer choices in this context.

This question is one in which filling in the blank with each answer is useful for finding the best word for the sentence. "Exercise" and "solution" don't make sense in the context of the mom's busy, hectic day. "Interruption" sort of works, but as it means a pause without necessarily implying rest, it doesn't quite fit. A "breather" is a break, or a rest. The busy mom needs a rest, so "breather" is the best answer choice and the correct answer.

"Tenacity" means the quality of sticking to doing something, no matter what happens. A gymnast completing her routine while injured shows tenacity. "Stupidity" doesn't work in context with "amazing" (see sentence). "Cowardice" and "sleepiness" don't make sense in the sentence either; "cowardice" means timidity or fear and is the opposite of "tenacity."

The sentence tells you that he is afraid of flying, which means he must have been feeling “terror” on the plane. "Terror" means great fear or dread. To help you, "envy" means jealousy, "joy" means happiness, "fury" means anger, and "defiance" means resistance or the act of not doing what you are told.

The sentence tells us that the author’s family is from Scotland. We call our family that came before us our “ancestors.” Conversely, we call our family that comes after us our “descendants.” So your grandparents are your ancestors, and any children you have will be your descendants. To help you, "siblings" is another name for brothers and sisters.

The sentence says that The Odyssey "tells the story of Odysseus," who "must battle enemies and brave challenges." The main character in a story is known as the "protagonist," so "protagonist" is the correct answer.

"Character" is incorrect. Even though the protagonist is a character in the story, this choice isn't specific enough because of the other information in the sentence.

"Role" is incorrect. It doesn't make sense in the context of the sentence.

"Narrator" is incorrect.  The sentence doesn't mention whether or not Odysseus tells his own story as the narrator.

"Bandit" is incorrect.  A bandit would likely be a bad guy (an antagonist), the opposite of a protagonist.

From the context of the sentence, you know that the mountain climbers were almost buried by falling snow. When a great deal of snow falls on a mountain, it is called an avalanche. The other four answer choices are all other types of natural disasters.

The sentence tells us that the blank word must be another word for drink, which leads to the correct answer, beverage. To further help you, a banquet is a large and fancy feast; an aroma is a scent or smell; a blizzard is a huge snow storm; a document is an official paper used as evidence or proof.

The context of the sentence tells us that the five adventurers set off to travel somewhere. The correct answer is “voyage,” which means journey. To further help you, a "professor" is a teacher at a university; a "banquet" is a large feast of food; a "ruffian" is a rough and violent person; "pious" means religious.

The sentence tells us that the sun had just set; this means it must have been the time of day right after the sun sets, just before it gets completely dark. We call this period of the day “twilight.” To further help you, “dawn” is the name given to the early morning, just as the sun is rising.
