Explanation:

Question 7

We need to choose a noun that describes a profession related to taking earth core samples. "Geographic" is an adjective, "geography" is a field of study, "geologist" is a professional who studies the earth (including taking core samples), and "geoponics" is about agriculture. So "geologist" fits as a profession.

We need an adjective to describe the action of proposing with a lava - rock ring. "Abdicate" is a verb, "abnormal" means not normal (proposing with a lava - rock ring is not a typical thing to do), "dysfunctional" refers to not functioning properly (not about typicality), and "dyslexia" is a learning disorder. So "abnormal" is the correct choice.

Answer:

C. geologist
