Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. The news anchor of the morning show is famous for his facial expressions and the piquancy of his quick wit. Sheena is famous for speaking in a manner when she doesn't get exactly what she wants. The new housing complex near the highway has every that a resident could ask for.

This question is missing the answer options. I was able to find them online. They are the following:

1. piquancy; savior faire; preclusion.

2. magnanimous; querulous; punctilious.

3. sinecure; amenity; magnanimity.

Answer:

1. The news anchor of the morning show is famous for his facial expressions and the piquancy of his quick wit.

2. Sheena is famous for speaking in a querulous manner when she doesn't get exactly what she wants.

3. The new housing complex near the highway has every amenity a resident could ask for.

Explanation:

To answer this question, we must first understand the context given in each sentence. Only then can we choose the appropriate word according to its meaning.

1. The wit of the anchor is being complimented in an interesting way. This is similar to the way we would compliment a sarcastic but funny person. With that in mind, we can choose piquancy as the best option. This word suggests spiciness, be it literal or figurative.

2. The context refers to when Sheena does not get what she wants, which already leads us to assume she is not happy about it. In that case, we can choose querulous, which means "pettish" or "waspish". Sheena most likely complains when things don't go her way.

3. This sentence refers to housing and what residents can expect. The best word is amenity, which refers to services or to the infrastructure of the place. Examples would be a covered parking lot or a fitness room in a building.

here's the reading extract for context:

Ebraime stared up the slope into the gathering mist. Tongues and tracers of cloud raced past the shattered base of the cliffs; below him the mountain fell sharply away, golden in the light of the setting sun. He had never climbed so high before, and he was scared. He had never lost a sheep before. That scared him too.

He crouched against the mountainside, afraid to look back. Against the rising noise of the wind he heard the bleating of the ewe once more. It came from his right, it seemed. Cautiously he crept, hand and foot, up the loose, stony slope. The fierce wind was growing colder, biting through his thin khaki shirt. He glanced back. Behind him the golden light died with the sunset as he reached the base of the broken cliffs.

Zebasberg is a fierce mountain. Ebraime stared up at the soaring, cold grey rocks and trembled. He crept carefully around and between the huge boulders that littered the base of the peak, following the faint bleat of the sheep. The light was dim and dying when at last he found the ewe. She lay in a hollow between two slabs, a small corner of shelter from the rising storm. Gratefully he slipped down beside her. 'Quiet now, quiet now, he whispered gently. The ewe gazed at him with empty eyes and nuzzled closer. Outside the hollow, the wind howled and the world went black..
Ebraime nestled against the warmth of the ewe and looked out at the invisible night. I didn't lose her, he thought proudly. Tomorrow it will be light again and I can lead her down to the farm. Mr Lamprechts will be well pleased with me. He will see that I work well when I bring back this sheep. Ebraime huddled against the warm sheep in the sheltered hollow and was soon asleep.

In the hollow high up against Zebasberg, the ewe raised her head. She sniffed the air and gave a loud bleat. Ebraime woke at once. Where am I? Ebraime thought, clutching the ewe. She struggled and suddenly called again. He held her tight around the middle, peering into the darkness.

What's wrong? he thought. "Be still, be still,' he whispered to the ewe. She tried to lunge to her feet. 'Still, still,' he tried to calm her, when sud denly he became aware of the smell. A terrible rank pungent smell, some thing new in the hollow, something close at hand. "Go away!' he shout ed, terrified.

The ewe lunged without warning and a hot gust of foul breath came out of the dark. Something unseen and awful struck Ebraime full in the face. The ewe screamed, a long des perate bleat, and tore loose from his grip. Another awful searing blow ripped across his face and neck.

He reeled back and screamed from fear and the terrible pain of the blow. The unseen shape knocked him carelessly aside and with a throaty roar leaped away out of the hollow. He felt himself sinking into darkness and he tried to cry out again. Far away, he heard the last bleat as the beast took the ewe. The terrible pain shrank away as he slipped into unconsciousness.

There was no one at the cottage. In the kitchen he found a half-loaf of bread. He wolfed the bread and sank exhausted into a chair facing the open door.

He didn't hear the girl's approach. He was roused by the cautious knock and the soft call 'Ouma Sanna?' He stumbled to his feet. The girl was sil houetted against the bright sunshine outside the door. Ebraime stood up and tried to speak. He had hardly realised that no sound would come when the girl screamed, a scream that echoed shrilly around the room and out across the farmyard. Ebraime stood rooted in the doorway. The girl's screams bewildered and frightened him. What was wrong? Why had the girl screamed like that? He looked back into the cottage. Something moved on his left and he started violently. The light was slanting across Ouma Sanna's only picture, a hand-coloured photograph of herself as a young woman, hand in hand with a young man. Ebraime turned towards the movement and realised that it was his own reflection that had moved. His face was reflected in the dusty glass.

Two eyes stared wildly at him from a face raked with raw, bloody stripes, puffed and wounded and horrible. Suddenly he understood. My face, he shouted to himself. It's my face!​​

He seemed to be tormented by some strange fancy or apprehension. In spite of every effort to fix his attention on the conversation of his companions, I noticed that every now and then he would turn his head slowly round, give a glance over his shoulder, and then withdraw it with a sudden , as if something painful had met his eye.

Read the excerpt from "What the Black Man Wants." I am for the "immediate, unconditional, and universal" enfranchisement of the black man, in every State in the Union. [Loud applause.] Without this, his liberty is a mockery; without this, you might as well almost retain the old name of slavery for his condition; for in fact, if he is not the slave of the individual master, he is the slave of society, and holds his liberty as a privilege, not as a right. He is at the mercy of the mob, and has no means of protecting himself. How does the repetition of the phrase "without this" support the paragraph’s argument?

As described in the selection from Silent Spring, what is the town like before everything begins to change

Building with Bamboo
We are already aware of the °different and wonderful uses that trees and plants have° They not only provide us with fruits and vegetables, but they also produce beautiful flowers from which we make colors, perfumes, and even tea. However, trees and plants have another important use. They are used for building! Before humans made homes with bricks and concrete, they used plants such as bamboo. °Bamboo is extremely strong and lengthy.° That makes bamboo a useful resource for building houses. Bamboo is used even today for making sleeping mats, bowls, and cages. Bamboo is hollow, so water can easily pass through it. As a result, °people use bamboo as empty pipes to water plants.° It is surely amazing to think about °the vast number of uses that plants and trees° such as bamboo can have.


if the sentance has this by it ° ° then its a selection :)

PLEASE I NEED HELP ASAP!!!!Read the following excerpt from Joseph Chamberlain's "The True Conception of Empire":
You can not have omelettes without breaking eggs, you
can not destroy the practises of barbarism, of slavery, of
superstition, which for centuries have desolated the
interior of Africa, without the use of force; but if you will
fairly contrast the gain to humanity with the price which
we are bound to pay for it, I think you may well rejoice in
the result of such expeditions as those which haver
recently been conducted with such signal success in
Nyassaland, Ashanti, Benin, and Nupé - expeditions
which may have, and indeed have, cost valuable lives, but
as to which we may rest assured that for one life lost a
hundred will be gained, and the cause of civilization and
the prosperity of the people will in the long run be
eminently advanced. But no doubt such a state of things,
such a mission as I have described, involves heavy
responsibility. In the wide dominions of the queen the
doors of the temple of Janus are never closed, and it is a
gigantic task that we have undertaken when we have
determined to wield the scepter of empire. Great is the
task, great is the responsibility, but great is the honor, and
I am convinced that the conscience and the spirit of the
country will rise to the height of its obligations, and that
we shall have the strength to fulfil the mission which our
history and our national character have imposed upon us.
