Answer 2

1. The correct answer is d."abs" "Phil was training for the marathon, so he had to abstain from junk food."

Abstain is a verb that means to deny or restrain yourself from consuming, having or engaging in something. Another instance where the word "abstain" can be used meaningfully and correctly in a sentence is: "When Lisa found out she was pregnant, she wisely decided to abstain from consuming alcohol and smoking. 

2. The correct answer is b. retro. "Natalie wanted to watch the retrospective on TV."

A retrospective basically refers to an exhibit, show or program of some kind that showcases the entire journey of a person's work or ventures. For instance, a prominent artist or musician might have a retrospective to showcase his or journey and career progression from the start to a completion point. A retrospective basically means looking back on something or someone's journey. 

3. The correct answer is c. fore. ".The foreman ensured work at the construction site went on smoothly"

A foreman is basically a worker who leads and supervises other workers performing a project. A construction foreman's duties and roles involve: delegating tasks to other workers, training them and ensuring that the work is carried out in an efficient manner. A foreman is typically someone who is experienced at their work and a "senior" in their field of work.
