~The picture is for question 6 <3 ~

Answer 1

1) Over 1,000 people tried out for a spot on the new reality television show; nevertheless, many of the contestants stood in line for over ten hours waiting for their turn Fill in the blank with the appropriate transition word(s).



The blank in the sentence implied a contrast. We can see that because the two statements above in the sentence were meant to contradict each other with the signal words "over 1,000 people tried....______ many of the contestants...." The words but, or however would have suited the blank just nicely, however, nevertheless is a synonym of the two.



2) imploreingly. It was said in the question you had provided that " -ploring," does not contain an 'e'. Thus, Impolreingly is the correct answer.



3) Later, John and I went out to the woods to collect some firewood. We came back to the site, and started a campfire.

But implies contrast. Contrast doesn't make sense in this situation. If only implies contrast/contradiction also. Because applies as well. So, B is your answer.



4)The students are expected to wear appropriate clothing to the dance.



5) pneumococcal diseases
