Question

complete the text with the correct pair of words. as she crossed the finish line, sweat dripped from every _ in maggles body. though her muscles ached all over, she still managed to _ her arms in victory. poor... raise poor... rise pore... rise pore... raise

Explanation:

1. Analyze the first blank: The context is about sweat dripping from parts of the body. "pore" refers to a tiny opening in the skin (where sweat can come out), while "poor" means lacking in quality or resources, which doesn't fit here. So the first word should be "pore".
2. Analyze the second blank: The action is about moving her arms. "raise" is a transitive verb (it takes an object, here "her arms") meaning to lift up. "rise" is intransitive (doesn't take an object) and means to move upward on its own. Since we have "her arms" as the object, we need "raise".

Answer:

pore... raise
