    A. The presidency
    A. A career in theater
    Explanation
    One might aspire to the presidency or a career in theater because both positions offer opportunities for personal growth, influence, and the ability to make a difference. The presidency allows individuals to lead a nation, shape policies, and impact the lives of citizens. Similarly, a career in theater provides a platform for artistic expression, creativity, and the chance to entertain and inspire audiences. Both aspirations require dedication, hard work, and a passion for their respective fields.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. One's efforts
    A. Criticism
    A. A search
    Explanation
    Efforts can be intensified by putting in more energy, time, or resources to achieve a desired outcome. Criticism can be intensified by expressing stronger disapproval or pointing out more flaws and faults. A search can be intensified by expanding the scope, increasing the thoroughness, or dedicating more resources to find what is being sought. However, a number between 1 and 10 cannot be intensified as it is a fixed value within a specific range.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. A parent's anger
    A. Fear of a reprimand
    A. Speaking before a large group
    Explanation
    The three options that might intimidate a person are a parent's anger, fear of a reprimand, and speaking before a large group. These situations can be intimidating because a parent's anger can create a sense of fear and unease, fear of a reprimand can make a person anxious about potential consequences or criticism, and speaking before a large group can cause stage fright and nervousness due to the pressure of performing in front of many people.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Getting one's notes mixed up
    A. Taunts from the audience
    A. Going on pas the time allowed
    A. Forgetting the chairperson's name
    Explanation
    A speaker might get flustered if they get their notes mixed up because it can disrupt their flow and make them lose their train of thought. Taunts from the audience can also fluster a speaker as it can be distracting and create a hostile environment. Going on past the time allowed can cause stress and pressure on the speaker, making them flustered. Forgetting the chairperson's name can be embarrassing and cause the speaker to feel unprepared, leading to fluster.

    Which of the following cannot be done with impunity?

    • Neglecting to pay bills

    • Losing weight

    • Skipping classes

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Neglecting to pay bills
    A. Skipping classes
    Explanation
    Neglecting to pay bills and skipping classes cannot be done with impunity because they have negative consequences. Neglecting to pay bills can result in late fees, penalties, and damage to credit scores. Skipping classes can lead to missed education, lower grades, and potential disciplinary actions. On the other hand, walking the dog and losing weight do not have negative consequences and can be done without facing any punishment or harm.

    • An admonishment

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. A refusal
    A. An error
    A. A denial
    Explanation
    Blatant means something that is done openly and unashamedly, without any attempt to hide or disguise it. A refusal, an error, and a denial can all be done openly and without any attempt to hide or disguise them. Therefore, all three options can be considered as examples of something that can be blatant. An admonishment, on the other hand, refers to a mild or strong criticism or warning, which may not necessarily be done openly or without any attempt to hide it, making it less likely to be considered as blatant.
