Explanation:

Question 7 (assuming the first question about "nontoxic" and the word part, though the word part isn't fully visible, but for the options given: "The story about the aliens was supposed to be nonfiction, but it sounded made - up to me. The word part (probably "non - ") means: A. condition. B. not. C. overly.")

In the word "nonfiction", the prefix "non - " is used. "Fiction" means something made - up, and "nonfiction" means not fiction (based on real events/facts). Also, in "nontoxic", "non - " means not toxic. So the prefix "non - " means "not".

In "empathy", we feel what others feel. In "telepathy", it's about knowing others' feelings/thoughts. So the word part "path" or " - pathy" is related to "feeling". "Hearing" is related to "audi - " or similar roots, and "the opposite" doesn't fit.

In "suspended" (from "The children's swing is an old tire that's suspended from a strong oak branch"), "suspend" means to hang. In "pendulum" (from the grandfather clock example), a pendulum hangs and swings. "Suffering" is related to "path - " roots, and "to listen" is related to "audi - " or "phon - " roots. So "pend" means "to hang".

Answer:

B. not
