<span>Q1. The answer is c. lessen. To diminish something means to make something smaller. To lessen something is to make it less. In either case, it means to decrease something. Thus, in this sentence "One would think his anxiety would diminish, not increase, once his name was called." 'lessen' can substitute 'diminish'. Q2. The answer is a. character vs. self. In the paragraph, character vs. self-conflict is obvious. Sentences "...he was filled with fear. He did not know what his selection meant. He did not know what he was to become. Or what would become of him." show his unawareness of what will become of him which worries him. This implies self-conflict. Q3. The answer is a. the ability to see and experience things others cannot. In The Giver, the capacity to see beyond is the ability to use not those senses present in the community, but those senses present in the memories. For instance, Jonas has ability to see colours.</span>
