1. To answer the question, we need to understand the meanings of the words "nominal" and "confiscate".
"Nominal" means very small or minimal, often referring to a small amount of money.
"Confiscate" means to seize or take away someone's property or possessions.
In the given context, the children can sign up for art or music lessons for a very small fee of $3.00. So, the answer to the first blank is "nominal".
Since it's impossible to take both art and music lessons, the classes will be taken one after the other, meaning they will be happening at the same time. So, the answer to the second blank is "concurrent".
Therefore, the sentence becomes: "This summer, local children can sign up for art or music lessons for a nominal fee of $3.00. It’s impossible to take both, though, since the classes will be concurrent."
2. The second sentence has already been answered in the explanation of the first sentence. The answer to the second blank is "concurrent".
3. To answer the question, we need to understand the meanings of the words "constitute" and "predominant".
"Constitute" means to make up or form something.
"Predominant" means the most important or prevalent.
Although cancer and heart disease make up the leading threats to life in the United States, car accidents are the most important or prevalent cause of death for teenagers.
Therefore, the answer to the first blank is "constitute" and the answer to the second blank is "predominant".
4. The fourth sentence has already been answered in the explanation of the third sentence. The answer to the second blank is "predominant".
5. To answer the question, we need to understand the meanings of the words "prerequisite" and "decipher".
"Prerequisite" means something that is required or necessary before something else can happen.
"Decipher" means to decode or interpret something that is difficult to understand.
In the given context, it is being implied that a degree in accounting is required or necessary to understand the tax laws. Hence, a degree in accounting is a prerequisite for understanding the tax laws.
Therefore, the answer to the first blank is "prerequisite".
6. To answer the question, we need to understand the meaning of the word "decipher".
Since it is being said that one can only understand the tax codes if they have a degree in accounting, it means that understanding the tax codes is difficult and requires some effort to interpret or decode them. Therefore, the answer to the second blank is "decipher".
7. To answer the question, we need to understand the meanings of the words "default" and "confiscate".
"Default" means to fail to fulfill an obligation, such as making payments.
"Confiscate" means to seize or take away someone's property or possessions.
In the given context, if the Bryant's fail to make payments on their mortgage, the bank has the right to seize or take away their house. Therefore, the answer to the first blank is "default" and the answer to the second blank is "confiscate".
8. The eighth sentence has already been answered in the explanation of the seventh sentence. The answer to the second blank is "confiscate".
9. To answer the question, we need to understand the meanings of the words "hypothetical" and "recession".
"Hypothetical" means based on a hypothesis or assumption, not necessarily real.
"Recession" means a period of economic decline or negative growth.
In the given context, the regional manager asked a question about a hypothetical situation where the business is in a period of economic decline or recession.
Therefore, the answer to the first blank is "hypothetical" and the answer to the second blank is "recession".
10. The tenth sentence has already been answered in the explanation of the ninth sentence. The answer to the second blank is "recession".
