Explanation:

Response
Question 27
Brief Explanations

To determine the meaning of "foul" in the sentence, we analyze the context. "Foul play" in a legal/police context refers to illegal or wrongful actions (like crimes). Option A "wrongful" fits as it relates to improper or illegal acts. Option B "unpleasant" is too vague. Option C "make certain" is irrelevant. Option D "out - of - bounds" is more for sports or physical boundaries, not for describing criminal acts.

Brief Explanations

In the sentence "All are susceptible to decay", the context is about teeth and decay. "Susceptible" here means being likely or prone to be affected by something. So it means teeth are likely to experience decay. If we were to match with common definitions, "susceptible" means easily affected or prone to (in this case, prone to decay).

Answer:

A. wrongful

Question 28 (assuming the question is to find the meaning of "susceptible")
