Explanation:

Question 1

"nonentity" means a person of no importance, while "promontory" is a high point of land. Emily Dickinson being considered unimportant in her lifetime fits "nonentity".

"sustain" means to maintain, "annul" means to cancel. Ken can't maintain his pace, so "sustain" is correct.

"recourse" means using something for help, "muster" means to gather. Anne gave a speech without using notes, so "recourse" (without recourse to notes).

Answer:

nonentity
