- 9. A couple of older boys tried to <u>compel </u>some first-graders to hand over their lunch money.
- 10. Any player who does not <u>comply</u> with the rules will be dropped from the team.
To choose the best word that completes a sentence, the context of the sentence provides a vital hint. For example in Sentence 8 where two things are being compared, 'alternative' is the best word because it means one of two or more things.
In sentence 9 also, we can deduce that the first-graders were being bullied. So they were being compelled or forced to do something they did not want.
When this reasoning is followed, we can complete the remaining blanks.
