Explanation:

Question 1

We need to choose the correct noun to fill in the blank. "geographic" is an adjective, "geography" is a noun referring to the study of the earth's features (including railroads, locations etc.), and "geologist" is a person who studies geology. The context is about studying the features of Michigan, so "geography" is the correct noun.

We need a verb that means to give up or renounce a responsibility. "abstain" means to refrain (usually from a vote or action, and needs a preposition like "from"), "abdicate" means to renounce or give up a position/responsibility, "abnormal" is an adjective meaning not normal, "dysfunctional" is an adjective meaning not functioning properly. The context is about parents giving up their responsibilities, so "abdicate" is correct.

Answer:

B. geography
