Answer: Inactive.

Explanation:

The meaning of the word 'inert' is 'not moving'. In the excerpt, it is described that the machines were not moving, as if they were dead. The word 'inactive' has the same meaning - it stands for something that is not operating, moving or is out of function. This is why we could replace 'inert' with 'inactive' in this example.

Which sentence uses the
pentagon [3]

Answer: B. We can make a lot of money from this retail  opportunity.

Explanation:

Even though retail means to sell something, it is not a general substitute for the word sell. Retail refers to the act of selling or engaging in a business opportunity that requires some form of sales.

When used in a sentence, it should relate to that act rather than be used as a substitute for ''sell''. For instance, ''Jack engaged in retail by selling the cow''. Retail should refer to or describe the action - which is why it is an adjective -instead of being the action word   as is the case in option 2.
