It looks like you're working on a multiple-choice test with questions 8, 9, and 10. I'll help you analyze and answer each question based on the information provided. --- ### **Question 8** **Sentence:** "The bank would stand for no improprieties from the tellers when it came to the way they handled their cash." **Options:** - (A) mistakes - (B) accidents - (C) decorum - (D) recommendations **Analysis:** - **Improprieties** refers to improper or unethical behavior. - The sentence suggests that the bank does not tolerate any unethical behavior from tellers regarding handling cash. **Answer:** The bank would stand for no **(A) mistakes**. **Explanation:** While "improprieties" specifically refers to unethical behavior, among the given options, "mistakes" is the closest in meaning, indicating that the bank does not tolerate errors in handling cash. --- ### **Question 9** **Sentence:** "Mark was penitent about forgetting to pick up his grandparents at the airport." **Options:** - (A) angry - (B) tranquil - (C) unsure - (D) unapologetic **Analysis:** - **Penitent** means feeling or showing sorrow and regret for having done wrong. - We're looking for a word that reflects Mark's remorse. **Answer:** Mark was penitent about forgetting to pick up his grandparents at the airport: **(D) unapologetic** is **incorrect** because "unapologetic" means not showing remorse. However, none of the provided options perfectly match "penitent." The closest appropriate sentiment from the options is not present. If forced to choose the least contradictory option, none fit well. **Recommendation:** Double-check if there might be a typo in the options. Ideally, an option like "apologetic" would be correct. --- ### **Question 10** **Sentence:** "The intellectual edifice of art history has accrued over many years through the work of" **Options:** - (A) happened - (B) prospered - (C) wavered decreased - (D) **Analysis:** The sentence refers to the development of art history over time through contributions. The options appear to be mismatched or incomplete, possibly due to formatting issues. **Answer:** Given the incomplete and mismatched options, it's difficult to determine the correct answer. Typically, the sentence would be completed with a term referring to contributors like "scholars," "researchers," or "art historians." **Recommendation:** Please review the options for Question 10 and provide the correct or complete choices so I can assist you accurately. --- ### **Summary** - **Question 8:** Likely **(A) mistakes** is the best fit among the given options. - **Question 9:** None of the options correctly match "penitent." There might be a typo or missing option like "apologetic." - **Question 10:** The options seem incomplete or mismatched. Please provide the correct options for accurate assistance.
