Wallace places emphasis on the word "adjust" because he is addressing our realities and way of thinking as "default." He expresses the importance of paying attention to your surroundings, and adjusting to other perspectives and ways of thinking. He compares our ignored experiences to the water fish swim in but were never taught to notice.

Read the definitions, then choose the word that correctly completes the sentence. In- = not aud = to hear -ible = can be done -i
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

My grandfather spoke so quietly that his words were almost inaudible.

Explanation:

We are supposed to use the infixes (formative elements of a word) to form a word that will complete the sentence properly. According to the sentence, the speaker's grandfather spoke quietly. We can safely assume it was difficult for the speaker to hear the words his grandfather said. In that case, we need "aud", which is connected to the verb "hear". Since it was not possible to hear, we also need "in-", meaning "not", and "-ible", meaning "can be done". Together, they form the adjective "inaudible", which means "unable to be heard".

When we complete the sentence, it becomes:

My grandfather spoke so quietly that his words were almost inaudible.
