1. In order to determine the correct answer to this multiple-choice question, we need to analyze the opening of the story "Nethergrave" by Gloria Skurzynski. The opening describes how Jeremy accidentally scores a goal for the opposing soccer team. To determine the purpose of this description, we can eliminate the responses that do not align with the information provided.
- "to show that Jeremy is not very bright": This response is not supported by the information given in the opening. There is no indication that Jeremy's accidental goal is related to his intelligence.
- "to show why the coach should not have put Jeremy in the game": This response is also not supported by the information given. The opening does not provide any commentary on the coach's decision to put Jeremy in the game.
- "to show how Jeremy finds the real world awkward and embarrassing": This response aligns with the information given in the opening. Jeremy's accidental goal highlights his awkwardness and embarrassment in the real world.
Therefore, the correct answer is: to show how Jeremy finds the real world awkward and embarrassing.

- "involves illness or disorder": This option does not directly relate to the meaning of the root "chrono."
- "occurs repeatedly over time": This option aligns with the meaning of the root "chrono," as it describes something happening repeatedly over a period of time.

Therefore, the correct answer is: occurs repeatedly over time.
