Yes, the answers you provided are correct. Well done!
To arrive at the correct answers, you needed to understand the meanings of the given words and identify the appropriate word that fits within the given context. Let's break it down:
1-2. The phrase "No one can make me as angry as my parents and __s can" suggests that the first missing word is related to causing anger or irritation. Considering the given options, "infuriate" is the correct word. For the second missing word, the term "parents" in the sentence implies that the missing word should refer to family members, which is "siblings."
3-4. In the sentence "Please don't __ me to help you with your term paper. Since you delayed working on it for so long, I'm __ of sympathy," the first missing word should express the action of someone asking or begging for something. The correct option is "implore." For the second missing word, the sentence indicates a lack of sympathy due to someone's actions, which is "devoid."
5-6. To understand the missing words in this context, it is important to consider the relationships and emotions described. The first missing word describes Marvin's action of looking down on weightlifters, which can be associated with disrespect or contempt. Therefore, "sneer" is the correct word. The second missing word reflects Marvin's emotions towards the weightlifters, which indicates that they easily make him uncomfortable or fearful, so "intimidate" is the appropriate choice.
7-8. The first missing word describes the energetic and bubbly nature of the sister, which can be understood as someone who shows enthusiasm and liveliness. Thus, "vivacious" is the correct word. The second missing word describes the sister's behavior around people she doesn't know well, implying someone who is reserved or withdrawn, which is an "introvert."
9-10. In the sentence "I told Seth he would __ his chances of getting a date for a dance if he waited until the last minute to ask someone. But he was __ enough to think that any girl he asked would be happy to break a date with someone else to go to the dance with him," the first missing word indicates an action that could potentially harm or put at risk Seth's chances of getting a date. Therefore, "jeopardize" is the suitable choice. The second missing word describes Seth's mindset of thinking highly of himself or feeling superior, which is "smug."
By analyzing the given context and understanding the meanings of the words, you were able to select the correct answers. Keep up the good work!
