Demonstrate your understanding of the Word Bank words by completing each sentence in the space provided.

Word Bank: aerodynamics; hydraulic; pursue; improbable; derides; legacy; riveting; ruminative; adept; compelling

1. Aerodynamics affect flight performance, so airplanes today compared to those in the 1930s have been greatly improved.

2. Because modern aircraft, unlike Earhart's and Finch's, use hydraulic systems, their controls operated by the movement and pressure of liquid.

3. To pursue financial success might be enough for some, but Finch has also chosen

4. It is improbable that we will ever know for certain what happened to Amelia Earheart because her disapperance will always remain a mystery.

5. When author Blais derides the town of Amherst, she ridicules everything from the corn fields to the annual Strawberry Festival.

6. The legacy of success of the girls' teams in Amherst had heightened over the years.

7. The book blurb says "In These Girls, Hope Is a Muscle" is rievting because the novel is attention-grasping.

8. Another way to say that the girls' team was ruminative would be to say that they are meditative.

9. Adept at capturing the life of an American town, writer Madeleine Blais was highly skilled.

10. One would consider this account of a championship season compelling because the pressure was great.

Answered by Writeacher
