In order for us to answer this question correctly, we need to look at the context of it and use context clues to guess the missing vocabulary accurately. In this sense, context clues are hints, within a sentence or paragraph, that allows us as readers to glimpse the main idea in the sentence and thus choose the best options to complete it. In this case, we are being asked to describe an action, and with the words that are present in the sentece already, we must try to gather the mood and the tone of it, to correctly choose the verbs to use. In essence, this sentence shows a tone of urgency, almost desperation, of someone who needed to reach the dock quickly, but cannot finally do so. As such, the correct choices to complete this sentence would be: jumped and raced because aside from conveying the urgency of the action, they are also the most accurate to describe the action correctly.

How can a business owner improve and maintain productivity in his/her business?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Productivity is on the decline in America: The Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that during the fourth quarter of 2014, nonfarm business output increased by 3.2 percent, and hours worked increased by 5.1 percent; but productivity itself decreased by 1.8 percent. This is a disturbing trend for any business to deal with, for both salaried workers and entrepreneurs.

What can parents do to improve their communication with their children?
evablogger [386]
What can parents do to improve their communication with their children? There can be multiple answers for this question.

Never discuss mistakes - there's times when discussing one's mistakes is a good learning lesson, and on the other hand, it shouldn't be done at the time. Discussing their child's mistakes will only make the child think that their parents believe all their children do is make mistakes. Also, discussing mistakes will make your child behave better in life moving forward.

Interrupt the child when he or she goes off topic - this is a bad idea. If the parents don't want to be interrupted, don't interrupt the children. Interrupting them will only make them think that the parents don't care about what the child is thinking. 

Turn off the television, radio, phone, or other distractions - this is a good and bad idea. Sometimes, you can create conversation more easily while bonding over a show on TV, listening to music on the radio, talking over the phone, etc. If you really want to improve their communication with their children, I suppose this is the way to go. I wouldn't say 'improve' although. 

Avoid difficult topics - avoiding difficult topics will only make the child question things in life. There are important topics in a parents life that they must bring up with their child, whether it be safety, drinking, drugs, smoking, such and such. 

Answer: I believe that turning off the television, radio, phone, or other distractions will improve their communication with their children.
