Despite our best efforts to protect the environment and keep it safe, until the problems of pollution are _______, the future of our environment seems, at best, _______.

Solved . . . uncertain.

Despite is a clue that the sentence sets up a contrast. We want to keep the environment safe, but there are problems with pollution. The first blank requires a word that tells what we want to do about the problems of pollution. The best choice is to end them or solve them as in choice (Solved . . . Uncertain). Until those problems can be solved, the future of the environment is not safe, but rather uncertain.

Complete the sentence:
Michelle sought ________ from her new peers who she wanted to like her on the first day of high school, but instead she found herself quietly ________ for the familiarity and warmth of middle school.

Acceptance...repining.

Clearly, Michelle sought acceptance from her peers like most students. This is evidenced by her desire to be well-liked and the context of starting high school, a place where almost every freshman wants to feel comfortable. Therefore, Michelle would not want to be condemned/repudiated, nor would she want to reach perdition. Therefore, she either sought approbation or acceptance. But was she crying out for familiarity or was she internally yearning for it? “Repining” is a better description of how she felt strictly because she had to be longing for something “quietly.” Choice "acceptance...repining" is the best answer.

Which word BEST captures the meaning of perfunctory as used in the sentence below?

"sister. A single mother of two," is incorrect because the way the period separates this into two sentences does not make sense grammatically as it is incomplete.
"sister a single mother of two" is incorrect because it causes a run-on sentence and is grammatically incorrect.
