If you hear a loud noise, you might look for the noise's source without thinking about it, so we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like "an action done without thinking." "Reflex" has this meaning exactly, so it is the correct answer. As for the other answer choices, none make sense in the sentence's blank: "incentive" means reward; "behavior" means conduct or pattern of actions; and "stimulus" means something that causes something else to happen.

From the context, you know that the correct answer must be somewhere where apples grow; this should lead you to the correct answer, which is “orchard.” An “orchard” is somewhere, usually on a farm, where fruit grows in trees. A “university” is an institution like a college where people study after high school; a “convent” is a religious building where nuns live.

From context, it sounds like the hurricane was a very bad thing for the community; this means that the correct answer is “disaster.” A “disaster” is a terrible thing that happens, like a hurricane or a flood. A “portion” is a specific amount of something given to someone. An “appeal” is an act of ask for something or for someone’s help.

The word “portion” is used to describe an amount of something, like a “portion” of ice cream. The word “consolation” is something you get to make up for something else you missed out on;  a “location” is a place where something is. "Food" may look like a potentially correct answer, but saying "food of ham" doesn't make sense, so "food" cannot be correct.

If you are in danger, you can also be said to be in “jeopardy.” The word “envy” means jealousy or wanting something someone else has; “triumph” means win; "bewilderment" means confusion, and "force" means power or strength.

The most likely answer is "requirements" since they detail the necessary aspects or parts of the project. "Functions" are abilities; "duties" are tasks; an "assignment" is a project; and a "syllabus" is a paper conveying a plan for a class to be taught, often including the topics that a class will cover and any assignments and tests that will be given.

The people most likely want to "solve" the problem of wild animals eating their garden, so they are looking for a "solution." This differs from the other answer choices: an "explanation" is a clarification to make something clear; an "issue" is a problem; "criticism" is analysis; and "awareness" is the state of being conscious of something.

Your task here is to identify what word would best fit in the context of this sentence, which tells us why a certain place named Giverny is a popular place for artists to come to, both for its physical attractiveness and for something having to do with the Impressionist painter Claude Monet.  

Neither "aroma" (a smell) nor donation (a charitable gift) fit here.  

Since we know that the word must have something to do with the fact that this is where a famous painter painted, you might guess that the correct word would have to do with reputation or history.  

Both "heritage" and "notoriety" have something to do with reputation, but "heritage" is the best answer because it refers to the traditions and achievements that are part of the history of a place or group of people, whereas "notoriety" has a negative connotation, meaning fame derived from having done bad things.

A sign of something to come in the future is called an “omen.” Seeing a black cat is often held to be a “bad omen,” just like how breaking a mirror is supposed to be bad luck. The word “reward” describes something good you get for doing something well; a “fright” is a scare; and a “creature” is a living thing.
