1. i thought it was very ______ of them not to thank you for the gift.

a rude
b uneasy

Explanation:

Question 1:

To solve this, we analyze the context: Lisa is good at softball, basketball, and volleyball, which are sports. A barber (A) cuts hair, a cook (B) prepares food, a farmer (C) works in agriculture, an artist (D) creates art—none relate to sports. An athlete (E) participates in sports, matching her skills.

The sentence is about not thanking for a gift, which is impolite. "Rude" (A) means ill - mannered, fitting the context. "Uneasy" (the other visible option) means uncomfortable, which doesn't fit here.

Answer:

E. athlete
