Hello!
In the first excerpt, I'm assuming that the underlined word that you are unsure of its meaning is cloy'd. This word means excessive sweetness, so the correct answer is C. overly sentimental.
In the second excerpt, the word we're looking for is probably half-impaired. Impaired means weakened, or damaged, so the correct answer is A. partially damaged.
In the third excerpt, the unknown word is loth, which means unwilling to do something, so the correct answer is B. reluctant or unwilling.
Hope this Helps! Have A Wonderful Day! :)
An argument is invalid if and only if all the premises is true and the conclusion is false.
We can test the invalidity of the argument by assuming all the premises are true and seeing whether it is possible for the conclusion to be false. If the conclusion is possible to be false, then, the argument is invalid.
A valid argument, on the other hand, is valid if and only if it is necessary that:
1) if all of the premises are true, then the conclusion is true
2) if all of the premises are true, then the conclusion must be true
3) it is impossible that all the premises are true and the conclusion is false.
A mixture that cannot be easily distinguished between the different parts. Distillation is one of the only ways to remove the parts from each other. For example, in a fruit salad you can easily pick things out, but in jello you cannot take the sugar out.
The inference is that the opinion that is stated in this excerpt from Walking with the Wind: A Memoir of the Movement is that Although Malcolm X had mass appeal among some groups of people, he was not the ideal person to lead the entire African American community.

Chaucer’s original plan for The Canterbury Tales was for each character to tell four tales, two on the way to Canterbury and two on the way back. But, instead of 120 tales, the text ends after twenty-four tales, and the party is still on its way to Canterbury. Chaucer either planned to revise the structure to cap the work at twenty-four tales, or else left it incomplete when he died on October 25, 1400. Other writers and printers soon recognized The Canterbury Tales as a masterful and highly original work. Though Chaucer had been influenced by the great French and Italian writers of his age, works like Boccaccio’s Decameron were not accessible to most English readers, so the format of The Canterbury Tales, and the intense realism of its characters, were virtually unknown to readers in the fourteenth century before Chaucer. William Caxton, England’s first printer, published The Canterbury Tales in the 1470s, and it continued to enjoy a rich printing history that never truly faded. By the English Renaissance, poetry critic George Puttenham had identified Chaucer as the father of the English literary canon. Chaucer’s project to create a literature and poetic language for all classes of society succeeded, and today Chaucer still stands as one of the great shapers of literary narrative and character.
