Hello!
In the first excerpt, I'm assuming that the underlined word that you are unsure of its meaning is cloy'd. This word means excessive sweetness, so the correct answer is C. overly sentimental.
In the second excerpt, the word we're looking for is probably half-impaired. Impaired means weakened, or damaged, so the correct answer is A. partially damaged.
In the third excerpt, the unknown word is loth, which means unwilling to do something, so the correct answer is B. reluctant or unwilling.
Hope this Helps! Have A Wonderful Day! :)
♡ The correct answer should be A.
To help you relate better with people.
Answer and Explanation:
I disagree with Kipling's idea that people from the East and the West are so different that they can't possibly understand each other. It is true that cultural differences may create obstacles to understanding. However, empathizing is a part of our nature as humans. When we keep an open mind, we find it easy to see our similarities instead of focusing solely on our differences. Since we are all human beings, no matter if we are from the East or from the West, we are bound to have something in common (experiences, feelings, fears, problems). That something is enough to generate understanding through empathy.
Pretty sure it’s D. Could be B though
The vES ending should be added to nouns that end in -f or -fe in their singular form. In that case, the -f or -fe is removed and -ves is added as a plural ending. Examples include: life - lives, wife - wives, knife - knives, wolf - wolves, leaf - leaves. But there are also exceptions, such as belief - beliefs, cliff - cliffs, roof - roofs.
