In relating to behavior, normal means ordinary. Someone who displays normal (and usually healthy) behavior like the majority of people. Abnormal behavior is just the opposite.

For example: Person A sees a poisonous snake. They get away from the snake in fear. This person has normal behavior. Person B sees the same snake. They get on the ground and play with the snake. This person has abnormal behavior.

The correct answer from each drop-down menu are the following ones:

The article "The Melting Arctic" attempst to win over public opinion by making use of persuasive techniques. One such technique is the use of scientific data , which relies on proofs, graphs, and charts. The article also relies on expert opinion, which involves the endorsement of an idea or opinion by a renowned professional in that particular field.

In contrast, the NOAA video uses visuals of animals to appeal to the viewer's emotions. It makes passionate claims about the worsening Arctic conditions and the adverse effects they have on animal life.

The linking word "in contrast" indicates that what is about to be introduced should be the opposite to whas has been said. Consequently, as the first paragraph talks about scientific data, the second one should appeal to the opposite of that, that is, emotions and beliefs. "Passionate" is the only adjective in the examples that has a positive connotation that can be put together with the first option ("emotions").
