Explanation
The word "concentrate" is the correct answer because when someone is asked to "think hard about something," it implies that they need to focus and give their full attention to that particular thing. "Concentrate" means to direct one's thoughts or efforts towards a specific task or objective, which aligns perfectly with the given context.

Explanation
The given answer "fancy" is the correct choice because it aligns with the description provided in the question. The question states that it refers to "something formed by the mind" and "to make something look nice." The word "fancy" fits these criteria as it can mean an image or idea created in the mind, and it can also mean to adorn or decorate something to make it look more attractive.

A. Peculiar

Explanation
The word "peculiar" is the correct answer because it means something that is strange or unusual, and it is being contrasted with the word "normal" in the question. The other options, "sorrow" and "concentrate," do not have the same meaning as "peculiar" and are not opposites of "normal." Therefore, "peculiar" is the best choice for a word that is different from the normal.

Correct Answer
C. Convince

Explanation
To persuade or convince someone means to use reasoning, evidence, or persuasive techniques to change their beliefs or opinions. It involves presenting a strong and compelling argument to bring the discussion or disagreement to a resolution. This could involve presenting facts, logical reasoning, or emotional appeals to convince the other person of your viewpoint and ultimately end the argument.

Admitting to an error; sorry
- A.
  
  Peculiar
- B.
  
  Apologize
- C.
  
  Convince
Correct Answer
B. Apologize

Explanation
The correct answer is "apologize" because admitting to an error and saying sorry are both actions that demonstrate remorse and taking responsibility for one's actions. "Peculiar" means strange or unusual, which is not related to admitting to an error or apologizing. "Convince" means to persuade someone, which is also unrelated to apologizing. Therefore, "apologize" is the most appropriate word choice in this context.
