Yesterday was very lively due to our schools semiannual spelling bee. As you know, many of our students are striving for academic excellence. In order to achieve this, many teachers have urged students to participate in the spelling bee. During the spelling bee, students were given words that were often misspelled within their essays and quizzes. Some of these words included breathing, consciousness, problem, and hypersomnia.
The correct answer is D

We do honestly have a little more (1) free/spare time in summer than we do in spring. We have some weekend getaways planned over the summer. A couple of fun things for the kid away from home. This blogging and social media thing has me wrangled into about a week’s worth of travel and meetings, and I wouldn’t be surprised if something or things pops up soon. And for me personally I have more free time (and a great (2) deal of less stress) than I did when I (3) worked in town. I go to work around 8 a.m. most days on the farm. I used to be at work at 6:30a.m., and it (4) took me 35 minutes to get there. When it’s not time to plant or harvest, we usually work a few (5) hours on Saturday morning and never on Sundays. And for those farmers that also have livestock? We used to raise hogs you know. Well those animals want to eat and be healthy.

Explanation:
similarities:
Poems and fiction books have your world in them. The kind of world you imagine and the kind of world you want to live in. Second similarity: they hide your feelings. If you feel depressed some day, and you write a piece of poetry or a piece of fiction, both of them would still reflect your feelings.
differences: Poetry could be a short story of mixed emotions. Fiction is a type of story that is always fake, imagined, or made-up while poetry could be realistic.
hope this helped a little bit! :)
