This means that there is a chance or likelihood that a bear is responsible for the scattered contents.

    Wild animals have (RECENT) made an appearance in the back gardens of American suburbs.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "recently" because it is an adverb that indicates a short time ago. The sentence states that wild animals have made an appearance in American suburbs' back gardens, and the use of "recently" suggests that this occurrence has happened recently or in the near past.

    They have caused havoc and have (THREAT) domestic pets.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "THREATENED". The word "havoc" suggests that they have caused a lot of damage or chaos, and the phrase "domestic pets" implies that they have posed a danger or harm to these animals. Therefore, the word "THREATENED" fits well in the context as it means to pose a threat or danger to something or someone.

  • 9. 

    Mountain lions that wander into suburbs are now quite (WILL) to attack humans, while bears and wolves have apparently discovered rubbish bins.

    Explanation
    Mountain lions that wander into suburbs are now quite willing to attack humans, while bears and wolves have apparently discovered rubbish bins. This implies that mountain lions have developed a willingness or readiness to attack humans when they enter suburban areas. The word "willing" suggests that these mountain lions have become more prone or inclined to attack humans, possibly due to factors such as habitat loss, scarcity of prey, or increased human presence in their territories. On the other hand, the mention of bears and wolves discovering rubbish bins implies that they have found an alternative food source, which may explain why they are not as willing to attack humans as mountain lions.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Mountain lions that wander into suburbs are now quite willing to attack humans, while bears and wolves have (APPARENT) discovered rubbish bins.

    Explanation
    The word "apparently" is used in this context to indicate that the statement being made is based on evidence or observations, rather than being a definitive fact. In this case, it suggests that bears and wolves have been observed or it is evident that they have discovered rubbish bins.
