"Adhere" is defined as to stick to, or follow the practices of. In the context of this sentence, not sticking to or following the practices of a recipe could result in the recipe not turning out as expected.

Due to her dire situation, she is probably wishing she was home safe and sound; thus, she relished the thought.

We know that Jake used glue to make the paper shapes not fall off of the hat, so we can infer that we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like "stick." While "magnetic" shapes could stick to certain objects, construction paper is not magnetic, so "magnetic" cannot be the correct answer. "Adhere," however, is a verb that can mean "stick fast to a surface or substance." Because "adhere" is the answer choice which best fits the context of the sentence, it is the correct answer.

The best answer choice indicates that shopping was favorable to both girls; thus, appeal is the correct answer.

We can infer from the context of the sentence that we need to pick out a word that means something like "interpreting" or "reviewing," because we know that is what the scientists did to their data, and the missing word also described what they did to their data. "Seeing" may seem like a potentially correct answer because the scientists probably needed to see their data to interpret or review it, but "seeing" does not mean the same thing as "interpreting" or "reviewing," so "seeing" cannot be the correct answer. "Analyzing," however, means "examining methodically and in detail the constitution or structure of something, especially information, typically for purposes of explanation and interpretation." Because "analyzing" is the answer choice that makes the most sense in the sentence's context, "analyzing" is the correct answer.

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.
