The text mentions that Ashrita decided to do something (jump the most jumping jacks without stopping), practiced, and then did "more and more jumping jacks". Also, he "finally completed 27,000 jumping jacks" which was a new record. These are context clues. "Decided to" shows an initial goal - starting a process towards something. "More and more" indicates an increase or improvement over time (getting better at doing jumping jacks). "Finally completed... new record" shows reaching a successful end - getting closer to the goal (the record of most jumping jacks).

Answer:

"Decided to", "more and more", "Finally, he completed 27,000 jumping jacks"
