Explanation:

Question 1

The sentence is "After a long weekend of softball and rest, Sarah felt completely rejuvenated, ready to tackle her workbook." The context is that Sarah had rest and softball, so she should feel refreshed or having regained health/energy. Option A is "tired" which is opposite. Option B "sick" doesn't fit. Option D "unfocused" is not related. So the meaning of "rejuvenated" is best matched by C "restored to health or energy".

The sentence is "The architect had a lofty vision for the new skyscraper: imagining a building taller than any other in the city with windows that reached high into the clouds." The context is about a skyscraper vision with a tall building and high windows, so "lofty" should mean something impressive and grand. Option B "expensive" is not about the vision's nature. Option C "narrow and small" is opposite. Option D "unfinished" doesn't relate. So A "tall and impressive" fits.

The sentence is "Emily is so meticulous in her work; she double - checks every detail and makes sure everything is perfect before submitting it." The context is that Emily checks every detail and ensures perfection, so "meticulous" should mean careful and precise. Option A "careless" is opposite. Option C "quick and efficient" is not about being detailed. Option D "disorganized" is opposite. So B "careful and precise" is correct.

Answer:

C. restored to health or energy
