I would say courteous because since Anna is rude, Bess is the opposite of that trait. Courteous can also mean that Bess is respectful to her employers and would rather meet her deadlines and come right on time to work instead of doing what Anna does.
I can see why you would choose dependable. It would have worked out perfectly if the line 'but Anna is rude to customers' wasn't included. Since it is included, courteous should be the best answer that makes sense on all territories.

Explanation:
(a)
3x + 5y = 8 → (1)
4x - 3y = 1 → (2)
multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by 5 and adding the result will eliminate y
9x + 15y = 24 → (3)
20x - 15y = 5 → (4)
add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate y
29x + 0 = 29
29x = 29 ( divide both sides by 29 )
x = 1
substitute x = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
substituting into (1)
9(1) + 15y = 24
9 + 15y = 24 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
15y = 15 ( divide both sides by 15 )
y = 1
solution is x = 1 , y = 1
-----------------------------------------
(b)
6p + 4q = 20 → (1)
5p - 2q = 6 → (2)
multiplying (2) by 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate q
10p - 4q = 12 → (3)
add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate q
16p + 0 = 32
16p = 32 ( divide both sides by 16 )
p = 2
substitute p = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for q
substituting into (1)
6(2) + 4q = 20
12 + 4q = 20 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
4q = 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )
q = 2
solution is p = 2 , q = 2
Answer:
d). might not be able to help
Explanation:
Modal verbs are characterized as auxiliary verbs that aim to reflect the mood of the sentence. The different modal verbs show different moods like seeking or granting permission, advice, showing the probability of an event, ability, duty, etc.
In the given sentence, the correct modal verb to be used would be 'might' in order to neglect the 'possibility of him not helping her' irrespective of his wish whether he wants to do it or not. 'Might' is the modal auxiliary that is used to show the least possible actions or likelihood in past. <u>Since the sentence is framed in past, it stands for 'least possibility' which is further being refuted by use of 'not</u>.'
