Question

in the last week of school, sylvies teacher talked about the differences between fifth and sixth grade. he explained that there would be some dropdown that might be somewhat difficult to get used to. for example, instead of one teacher, students would have several teachers throughout the day. sylvie wondered how dropdown changes like this would affect her school day. other differences, like eating lunch just fifteen minutes later, would be dropdown ones. sylvie didnt think much about dropdown like that.
answer bank:
significant
small changes
big changes
insignificant

Explanation:

1. First blank: The context is about changes between grades that might be hard to get used to (like multiple teachers). "big changes" fit as they are impactful and hard to adjust to.
2. Second blank: Sylvie is wondering about how these impactful changes affect her day, so "significant" (describing the changes' importance) is appropriate.
3. Third blank: Eating lunch 15 minutes later is a minor change, so "insignificant" (not impactful) works.
4. Fourth blank: These minor changes are "small changes" as they are trivial (like lunch time shift).

Answer:

1. big changes
2. significant
3. insignificant
4. small changes
