14. Deserted WORDS BANK:  dazed, barren, desolate, grumbled, hesitated, blazing, vast

Explanation

The word "desolate" accurately describes the state of being deserted or abandoned. It conveys a sense of emptiness and loneliness, suggesting a place that is devoid of life or activity. The other words in the word bank do not fully capture this sense of abandonment and emptiness. "Barren" implies a lack of fertility or growth, but not necessarily abandonment. "Vast" refers to size or extent, but does not convey the same emotional tone as "desolate." "Blazing" suggests intense heat or brightness, which is unrelated to the concept of being deserted. "Dazed," "grumbled," and "hesitated" are all unrelated to the idea of being deserted.

Submit
15. A treeless, sparsely inhabited region WORDS BANK:  dazed, barren, desolate, grumbled, hesitated, blazing, vast

Submit
16. Why do you think that Camp Green Lake needs to make sure that the boys aren't hiding anything?

Explanation

Camp Green Lake needs to make sure that the boys aren't hiding anything because they don't trust bad boys. The boys are being punished for their bad behavior, and the camp authorities believe that they may continue to engage in deceitful or dishonest activities. By ensuring that the boys are not hiding anything, the camp can maintain control over the boys and prevent any further misconduct or rule-breaking. This lack of trust is likely a result of the boys' previous actions and the need for strict discipline in the camp environment.

Submit
17. Stupefy WORDS BANK:  dazed, barren, desolate, grumbled, hesitated, blazing, vast

Explanation

The correct answer is "dazed." This word is the most suitable choice because it means to be in a state of confusion or disorientation, which aligns with the meaning of "stupefy." The other words in the word bank do not convey the same sense of confusion or disorientation.
