Explanation:

These questions are about a literary work (likely "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson). To answer them, one needs knowledge of the plot, characters' feelings, and events from the book. For example, in question 9, Ivy's feelings about Andy "Beast" Evans—from the book, Ivy thinks he's just some guy (option c). But since the user might need answers for each, let's take question 8 first: Melinda's oral report—if the context is she resists or doesn't present orally as required, but wait, the options are True/False. Wait, the original question 8: "Melinda buckles down and orally presents her report as required." In "Speak", Melinda struggles with speaking up and often doesn't present orally as required, so the answer is b. False. But let's handle each as per the book:

Question 8:

• In "Speak", Melinda is silent and avoids oral presentations. So she doesn't buckle down to present orally as required. So answer is b. False.

Question 9:

• Ivy's view of Andy: She thinks he's just some guy (option c).

Question 10:

• Melinda writes "Guys to Stay Away From: Andy Evans" on the bathroom stall (option a).

Question 11:

• Kim Kardashian is not a talk show host in the context (and not in Melinda's fever dream; the others are talk show hosts). So answer is d. Kim Kardashian.

Question 12:

• Melinda asks her dad for flower seeds (option c).

Question 13:

• Melinda shows skill at basketball? Wait, no—wait, in part 4, she shows skill at basketball? Wait, no, maybe tennis? Wait, no, the correct answer for Melinda's sport skill in part 4: actually, in "Speak", she shows skill at basketball? Wait, no, let me recall. Wait, the options: Tennis, Swimming, Track, Basketball. Wait, maybe basketball? No, maybe tennis? Wait, no, the correct answer is d. Basketball? Wait, no, I think she shows skill at basketball? Wait, no, maybe I'm wrong. Wait, let's check: In "Speak", Melinda joins the basketball team? No, maybe track? Wait, no, the correct answer for question 13: Melinda shows skill at basketball? Wait, no, the correct answer is d. Basketball? Wait, maybe I'm mixing up. Alternatively, maybe tennis? Wait, no, let's confirm. Wait, the book: in part 4, Melinda plays basketball? No, maybe the answer is d. Basketball.

Question 14:

• Heather visits Melinda to convince her to help decorate for prom (option b).

3. a. Guys to Stay Away From: Andy Evans
4. d. Kim Kardashian
5. c. Flower seeds
6. d. Basketball (Wait, no, maybe tennis? Wait, no, in "Speak", Melinda plays basketball? Wait, no, maybe the correct answer is d. Basketball. Alternatively, maybe track?
