Explanation:

Question 5

We need an adjective to describe "center" related to location. "Geographic" is an adjective meaning related to geography/geographical location. "Geography" is a noun, "geologist" is a person, and "geoponics" is about agriculture. So "geographic" fits.

The context is about not talking in class. "Abstain" means to refrain from doing something (here, talking). "Geoponics" is about agriculture, "geology" is about earth science, "abdicate" is about giving up a position. So "abstain" fits the phrase "abstain from talking".

Answer:

A. geographic
