Explanation:

Question 8

To solve this, we analyze the context of "crossing the street" and the options. A "pedestrian" is a person walking on a street, so it fits the context of someone crossing. "Millipede" is an insect, "mandate" is an order, and "manipulator" refers to someone who manipulates—none fit the "crossing the street" context.

We analyze the options. The sentence talks about things "standing in their way" (obstacles). "Impediments" mean obstacles or things that hinder progress, which matches. "Pedicures" are foot care, "manuals" are guides, "bipeds" are two - legged creatures—none fit the "things standing in the way" meaning.

The root "ped" is related to "foot" (e.g., "pedicure" is foot care, "pedestrian" is someone on foot). "Hands" relates to "man - " roots, "together" and "front" are not related to "ped".

Answer:

B. pedestrian
