I will not do your homework for you. If you do not know what these word choices mean, please look them up. You can use a printed dictionary, or you can look them up on-line by typing the word into your browser: catalyst definition, for example.
The purpose of the lesson is for you to learn new words. If we give you the answers, you have learned nothing at all.
To answer the question, you need to find the word that correctly fills in the blank in each sentence. Here's how you can approach it:
1. For the first question, you can eliminate options A, B, and D ("precise," "discerning," and "resolute") as they don't make sense in the context of being careful while eating. The correct answer is option C, "abstemious."
2. For the second question, you are looking for a word that indicates a warning or prompting for automakers to strengthen car windows and hood supports. Again, eliminate options A, B, and D ("suffrage," "infraction," and "catalyst") as they don't fit the context. The correct answer is option C, "analysis."
3. To answer the third question, you need to find a word that describes the study or examination of the steel used in the construction of the Titanic. Eliminate options A, B, and D ("infraction," "suffrage," and "catalyst") as they don't match the context. The correct answer is option C, "analysis."
4. In the fourth question, you are looking for a word that means "found out" or "discovered." Eliminate options A, C, and D ("infringed," "abounded," and "suffraged") as they don't fit the context. The correct answer is option B, "ascertained."
5. Lastly, for the fifth question, you need to find a word that describes Carrie Chapman Catt's role in the fight for women's right to vote. Eliminate options B, C, and D ("infraction," "discerning," and "catalyst") as they don't match the context. The correct answer is option A, "suffrage," which means the right to vote.
Using this approach, you can identify the correct word for each question.
