"The better we feel about ourselves, the fewer times we have to knock somebody else down to feel tall." What Odetta Holmes means by her quote is whenever we feel positive, we feel uplifted and proud. The more positive we feel, the less we want to knock someone else off of their high and make them feel down. People usually knock others off of their high just for the sake of feeling taller than them. If we already feel high and positive, there's no reason to make someone else feel bad and negative.
Hello!
For number 6, the answer must be "see." The use for rulers is to measure. The two examples are related by the uses of the objects. Microscopes are used to see small things.
For 7, a cheetah is a very fast animal, whereas a snail is a very slow one. The answer must be "slow."
For 8, fearless and timid are opposites. This means that the answer needs to be the opposite of hazy, which would be "clear."
Lastly, for 9, to justify and to defend are very closely related. For this question, we must find a synonym or something very close to the word deceive. The word "mislead" would be an appropriate answer.
I hope this helps you! Have a great day!
