We know from the sentence that the animals appeared to change into one another, so we need to pick out a verb for the blank that means something like changing. While "vanishing" might look like a potentially correct answer because magician's tricks often have to do with making things "vanish," or disappear, that is not the case in this sentence, so "vanishing" cannot be the correct answer. Similarly, while "becoming" is similar in meaning to "changing," "becoming" cannot be used with "into" following it—you don't "become into" something. So, "becoming" cannot be the correct answer either. "Transform," however, means change the form of. Because "transform" best fits the context and grammatical structure of the sentence, it is the correct answer.

Although every word is grammatically correct, saying "meow" fits best with the youngster attempting to "mimic" (copy) the cat, as saying "meow" would not represent an attempt to "bathe," "pet," "nourish," or comb the cat.

We can infer that because "[t]he traveler's family [was waiting] for her to show up at the baggage claim area," they must have expected her to reach her destination and show up soon. So, we need to pick out a verb to describe the plane that means something like show up. While "boarded" and "disembarked" may each look like potentially correct answers, neither can be used to describe the plane, only the passengers getting on and off of it, so neither can be the correct answer. Similarly, "left" cannot be the correct answer because it would not make sense for the traveler's family to be expecting her to show up if she was on a plane that just left. Plus, "left" would not make grammatical sense in the sentence—a plane would not "leave at" a destination. "Arrived," however, is a verb that means reached a destination, and because "arrived" best fits the context of the sentence, "arrived" is the correct answer.

The correct answer choice is one that means practice saying something out loud from memory, or "recite." "Express" means state; "examine" means thoroughly look at something; and "review" means look over something again.

We can infer that the teacher probably removed Ted from the classroom setting because whatever she did she did "in order to teach the other children without distractions." Therefore, it was likely that she "dismissed" Ted, as "dismissed" in this context means sent away. "Retain" means keep and "detain" means forcibly hold back or in a particular location.

When musicians create songs, they "compose" songs. "Develop" also means create, but it does not fit the sentence's context as well as "compose" does, as "develop" is not used to talk about creating music, but "compose" is. "Construct" means build; "bargain" means agreement or good deal; and "foster" means promote.

A person sends a letter.

When bread is put in the freezer, it is to "preserve" the bread, or keep it in its current condition, so that it can be used for a longer period of time. "Increase" would be an incorrect choice, since putting bread in the freezer doesn't increase the amount of bread that one has on hand.

Since the sentence tells us that Darryl "used colored pencils," we can assume that he was either writing or drawing, since none of the other answer choices involve pencils or other writing instruments. In picking between "illustrate," which means to depict a story with pictures, and "write," "illustrate" is the better answer because we know that Darryl was "in art class," so it more reasonable that he would be drawing, not writing, a scene from his favorite book. So, "illustrate" is the correct answer.

We know that cuttlefish "spray [ink] out of their bodies" when they are threatened, so we can infer that we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like "release." "Emit" is a verb which means "produce and discharge something, especially gas or radiation" or "send out: eject," and because it best fits the sentence's context, it is the correct answer.
