Answer:
Ginsburg argued for the petitioner. A jury convicted Billy Duren of first degree murder and first degree robbery. Duren alleged that the selection of this jury violated his Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment right to a trial by a jury chosen from a fair cross section of the community. Specifically, Jackson County allowed an automatic exemption from jury service for women upon request. While women made up 54% of the population in the Jackson County, only 26.7% of people summoned from the jury wheel were women. Defendant had an all-male jury selected from a panel of 48 men and 5 women. The Missouri Supreme Court affirmed the conviction, questioning the validity of Duren’s statistics. The court also held that even if women were disproportionally excluded from jury service, the amount of women who participated in the process was well above constitutional standards.

2. From the context of the sentence, we can conclude that businesses need to properly answer to the change of economic circumstances. That basically means that they need to adjust, to adapt to the new situation.
3. Again, we use the context of the sentence to determine the right answer. Basically, the sentence is about a man whose mood changes reflected on the changes of his stock portfolio. So, we need to find the pair of words that denotes changes and inconsistencies, and the only adequate pair is "volatility...mercurial".

The correct answer is Very young owls grow slowly.
Here, the adverb is <em>very </em>and the adjective is <em>young, </em>so the adverb is used to modify the adjective, or to show a particular degree of the adjective (how young? very young.).
In the rest of the options, there is only one adverb <em>slowly, </em>and it's not modifying an adjective, but rather the verb.
