Because we know that the thieves had to return the money to the authorities, we can infer that we need to pick out a word for the blank that means something like "return." Because "relinquish" means "voluntarily cease to keep or claim; give up," it best fits the sentence's context and is the correct answer.

We know that the word that fits the blank describes a science project that the students want to work on together, so we need to pick out a word that can refer to academic projects and means "work together on something." While "collaborate on" and "copy" could both be used in relation to academic projects, "copy" cannot be the correct answer because copying a project would be cheating, and so we can infer that the students wouldn't ask their teacher's permission to cheat. However, "collaborate on" makes sense in the sentence's context because "collaborate" means "work jointly on an activity, especially to produce or create something," so "collaborate" is the correct answer.

The key to this sentence is noting that the driver was new and therefore presumably jerky in his movements. Thus, the new driver probably lurched foward.

Since Jen did not wish to continue as a candidate, this means that she withdrew her candidacy.

Lena wants to win the game of hide and seek and therefore wants to deceive or outwit her brother.

In this sentence, the key is finding the best answer choice; in this case, she wants to ensure or make sure she does well on the exam, therefore she extensively studies for the exam.

The only accurate choice among the answer choices is shield since it means to protect.  Since she doesn't want a sunburn, she needs to shield herself from the sun.

We can infer that we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like "looks like," because Judy is often "asked for autographs because people mistake her for her famous counterpart." "Resembles" is a verb which means "has qualities or features, especially those of appearance, in common with someone or something; looks or seems like." "Resembles" is the correct answer because it best fits the context of the sentence.

Since the lion was looking for prey, it means that it prowled the forest for prey.

We can infer from the sentence that the student made up the story about how his homework got lost, so we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like "made up" or "invented" and can refer to stories. While "iterated" may look like a potentially correct answer because it can have to do with speech, "iterate" means "perform or utter repeatedly," so it doesn't fit the context of the sentence because we aren't told that the student repeated his story. So, "iterated" cannot be the correct answer. "Concocted," however, means "created or devised," and is specifically used of stories or plans. Because "concocted" is the answer choice that best describes the student making up the story and best fits the context of the sentence, "concocted" is the correct answer.
