Explanation:

For question 12:

• "Hypochondriac" refers to a person with excessive worry about their health.
• "Thermocline" is a layer in a body of water where temperature changes rapidly.
• "Hypocrisy" is the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform.
• "Hypothermia" is a medical condition where body temperature drops. Ian travels with medicines, a hypochondriac is a person who is overly concerned about health, so the answer is a.

For question 13:

• The students are complaining about teachers not following the rule (using phones) while making a rule. "Hypocrisy" is the best fit as it means claiming one thing (no phones) but doing another (teachers using phones). So the answer is c.

For question 14:

• Hikers sleeping in 10 feet of snow would be at risk of "hypothermia" (low body temperature). "Hypochondriac" is a person, "thermocouple" is a device, "thermocline" is a water - temperature layer. So the answer is d.

For question 15:

• In law school, "hypothetical" cases (imaginary or assumed cases for practice) are given. "Thermal" relates to heat, "thermonuclear" is about nuclear reactions with heat, "hypocrisy" is about false morality. So the answer is b.

Answer:

1. a. hypochondriac
2. c. hypocrisy
3. d. hypothermia
4. b. hypothetical
