Explanation:

1. "Remnants" means remaining parts or pieces, which fits the context of small pieces of cake left from a party. "Longevities" refers to long - life, "temperances" is related to self - control, and "dominions" means areas of control or rule.
2. "Rectify" means to correct or make right, which is appropriate as the person wants to fix their mistake of yelling. "Patronize" means to treat someone in a condescending way, "formulate" is about creating or devising, and "fluctuate" means to vary irregularly.
3. A subtle statement has a meaning that is not obvious or easily noticed. The other options describe statements that are rude, over - said, etc., which are not the meaning of subtle.
4. "Unquenchable" means impossible to satisfy, which suits the context of an insatiable thirst for reading. "Animated" means lively or full of energy, and the third option seems to be a misspelling and is not relevant.
