c. a new kind of pen that costs hundreds of dollars

Explanation:

• For question 4: The definition of an immigrant is a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country. Option B matches this definition. Option A is incorrect as immigrants are not those who always lived in a place. Option C is about helping others move, not being an immigrant oneself.
• For question 5: Indigenous peoples are the first - known inhabitants of an area. Option A is correct. Option B (last to live) and Option C (only people) are incorrect as there may be other settlers later and they are not the only ones in modern times.
• For question 6: A new type of shoe that is very comfortable (Option B) is more likely to go mainstream. A food flavoring that tastes like dirt (Option A) is unappealing. A pen that costs hundreds of dollars (Option C) is too expensive for mass adoption.

Answer:

1. B. come to a new country to live
2. A. the first to live in that area
3. B. a new type of shoe that is very comfortable
