Answer 1

1.D(intentional)

2.A(extreme excess)

Answer 2

1) c

2)a

Step-by-step explanation:

For question 1, when the text says, "the concerned citizens gathered to deliberate on the issue" you can see that it makes sense they gathered to talk about the problem. The answer can also be determined thru process of elimination.

2) text: "While the meeting was intended to cover a plethora of topics"

The definition of plethora is a lot. That definition also makes sense in this sentence.
