Step-by-step explanation:

Each sentence to be completed requires both understanding the context and knowing how to add prefixes or suffixes (or dropping them) to words.

A prefix is a group of letters added to the beginning of a word, while a suffix is a group of letters to the word's ending. Their purpose is to form a new word. For example: help - helpful.

Let's take sentences 1 and 3 as examples to better illustrate it.

In sentence 1, we need a word to refer to "she". She has become something, most likely an adjective, and we must use "employ" as our base word. If she is depressed, we can assume something bad happened. Thus, we can infer she became "unemployed". Notice that we added -ed to the original word.

In sentence 3, we clearly need a verb to complete the meaning expressed by the modal verb "should". This verb must be related to "variety". If we remove the suffix from it, we get "vary".
