a. specific
b. specification
c. specificity
d. specify

Answer 1

The correct answer is a.: specific.

This structure (this +adj) requires an adjective and the only adjective is in a., the other options are verbs or nouns  and are not correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

B. Specification

Explanation:

Because the sentence "a high degree of specific" doesn't sound correct it is not the correct word placement, not the correct connotation for the sentence. If you where to say "a high degree of specification" the words just tend to flow and it is the right connotation for the word structure in the sentence.
