The correct answers are the following:

  1. Unemotional. Samantha tried to look unemotional when they announced her essay as a finalist in the competition. Both unemotional and impassive are synonyms that convey the meaning of not showing strong feelings.
  2. Whirlpool. Mr. Bradford lunged at his wedding ring as it fell into the whirlpool of the bathtub drain. Both whirlpool and vortex are synonyms that convey the meaning of water moving rapidly in a circle causing objects to drown.
  3. Calmed. Sarah's mother calmed her screaming baby by giving her a teddy bear to hold. "To calm" and "to mollify" are synonyms that convey the meaning of soothing in temper.
  4. This question is incomplete.
