1. before his trip, jared made a list of every single thing he needed to bring. he did not want to be missing any important items while away from home.

jared’s list was ________ because ________

Explanation:

Question 1

To solve this, we analyze the context. Maureen's legs felt weak, she had insufficient practice, and paused to catch her breath. "Fatigue" means extreme tiredness, which matches her symptoms due to lack of practice and the race's physical demands.

The context shows Mr. O'Dell closely watched students, noticed confusion clues, and checked on them. "Attentive" means paying close attention, which fits his behavior of observing students' non - verbal cues.

Jared made a list of every single thing he needed. "Comprehensive" means including all necessary details. His list included all items to avoid missing anything, so it was comprehensive.

Answer:

My Answer: fatigue
My Reason: She had not done enough practice runs, her legs felt weak during the race, and she had to pause frequently to catch her breath, all indicating tiredness (fatigue).
