In terms of this sentence, the best way to approach the sentence is to look at the context.  Since it mentions the severity of the pain, it is most likely acute or intense pain.

Because we know that "bricks or other materials could fall from a great height and potentially injure someone," we can infer that we need to pick out a word that means something like "dangerous" to describe the construction site. "Safe" means the opposite of "dangerous," so it cannot be the correct answer, but "hazardous" means "risky; dangerous." Because "hazardous" best fits the sentence's context, "hazardous" is the correct answer.

Because we know that the novelist thanked her husband "for helping to inspire her most creative ideas," we can infer that we need to pick out a word that has something to do with books and thanking people. While "inspired" may look like a potentially correct answer, since we know that the novelist's husband inspired her most creative ideas, "inspire" wouldn't be grammatically correct if used in the blank; one wouldn't "inspire" a book. "Dedicated," however, can mean "cited a book or other artistic work as being issued or performed in someone's honor." Because "dedicated" best fits the sentence's context, "dedicated" is the correct answer.

Because we know that Anne "planned to spend her Saturday building a snow fort taller than her house," but then "all the snow melted on Friday," we can infer that we need to pick out a word for the blank that describes a plan that won't work or is highly impractical. Because "infeasible" means "not possible to do easily or conveniently; impracticable," it best fits the sentence's context and is the correct answer.

We know that the bank of storm clouds "does not bode well" for the people visiting the beach, so we need to pick out a word that means something like "menacing" or "threatening." Neither "friendly" nor"optimistic" can be the correct answer because they are both words with positive connotations and neither are similar in meaning to "menacing." "Ominous," however, means "giving the impression that something bad or unpleasant is going to happen; threatening." Because "ominous" is the answer choice that best fits the context of the sentence, it is the correct answer.
