To select the correct answers from the given drop-down menus, you need to consider the meaning and grammar of the sentences.
1. She was ______ by the town for her extensive charity work.
The missing word suggests that she was recognized, acknowledged, or honored by the town for her charity work. Let's look at the options in the drop-down menu:
- honored

- awarded
Based on the context, all three options could potentially fit in the sentence. However, the best choice would be the term that most accurately conveys the idea of being appreciated or acknowledged by the town for her charity work. Therefore, let's select "honored" from the drop-down menu.
2. His mistake had ______ his career in the government forever.
Here, we are looking for a term that indicates the impact of the person's mistake on their career in the government. Let's consider the options in the drop-down menu:
- affected

All three options could potentially fit in the sentence, as they convey the negative consequences of the mistake. However, the term that best signifies a long-lasting, severe impact would be "ruined." Therefore, let's select "ruined" from the drop-down menu.
