<u>Answer:</u>
The proper synonym for the expression in italics is Option C: survive
.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Italicized word “Get by” means “to manage with difficulty to live with” or . It also means to survive or cope up. The sentence means that “Do not worry about me, I will be able to cope up or get on”.
Use of option A is ‘live’ will not fit in the meaning of the given sentence. Option B ‘stay’, means to remain at one place, which also doesn’t fit in the sentence. So, option A and B are incorrect to be used as a synonym for ‘get by’ and the correct answer is Option C.
The main purpose of the transition word in the sentence: "Meanwhile, Jacey waited for the fitting room to become available." is that it connects a series of similar events. Explanation: Meanwhile can be defined as the time before something happens or before something ends, it is another way to say "during this time".
D should be correct. Hope I helped, tell me if I am incorrect :3
