□ b. explicit
□ c. liberal
ccss: l9 - 10.6

Explanation:

1. In a museum, art and artifacts are shown or presented, which is what "display" means. "Symbol" represents something else, and "notion" is an idea.
2. Drivers are expected to know rules, so lack of knowledge (ignorance) is not an excuse for breaking laws. "Intelligence" is about mental ability and "display" is not relevant here.
3. He has an idea (notion) about his cat showing affection, without proof. "Symbol" is not appropriate, and "ignorance" doesn't fit the context.
4. Analytical skills and mental ability (intelligence) would give an advantage in a competition. "Notion" is just an idea and "ignorance" is lack of knowledge, not an advantage.
5. Allowing team - members freedom to make decisions is a liberal attitude. "Abstract" is more about theoretical or non - physical things, and "explicit" means clear and direct.

Answer:

1. B. display
2. C. ignorance
3. B. notion
4. C. intelligence
5. C. liberal
